Must not be very windy out there right now. Last several groups haven't had many bogeys.

Unable to watch the live feed right now. UDisc will have to suffice. (And you guys at UDisc rock, btw!)

Sure, but he would have to execute the shots. In my mind he purposely foot faulted for advantage, there was no second, so he takes his shot that was executed pretty nicely with an advantageous lie. I think this is where the new rule doesn't work as well, because most players aren't going to want to be the guy to stroke someone. It's the first real happening of it called in a big tourney, so it'll be interesting to see how it works going forward.

No rule will ever work if people don't enforce it. I don't like free re-throw because it can be invoked by anyone. (Nice ace, foot fault, re-throw it.) Also, it made the horrible situation where the player could not call a specific rule on themself. That got misunderstood to mean that a player could never call anything on themself. (Or, at least players were all too willing to believe that was the case.)

Interesting, didn't know that....

Sourdough is the Einstein of the bread world. :hfive:

I realized today after watching Ricky's foot fault again that he never moved after he threw his shot. His plant (left) foot is still in the same exact spot as it was when he released after Nikko calls the fault, points it out, and looks for the group to second it. JohnE and KJ didn't need to see the throw itself, all they had to do was look at where Ricky was still standing, his foot 3 feet behind his marker, to see that he faulted.

And on top of that, the whole "player can't call or second himself on a stance violation" thing is gone. Ricky could have seconded and quite frankly, should have seconded that call. That he could stand there, 3 feet behind his marker, and not admit he faulted is disgraceful.

Just to add weight to this, aren't you sponsored by Lat 64?

Well... it looks like the Ricky and Paul show might be a thing of the past?...

Whatever Ivan Drago bootcamp thing Eagle and Simon did seems to be working

Have they peeked? Or is it piqued.

Can't wait to see the footage of the final round.

After re-watching Ricky's foot fault I don't agree that it's as egregious as people are saying. He looks closer than 2 feet to me. Assuming he wears at least a size 12 since he's 6'4" I'd say he's about 6" or so from toeing the 30cm mark. I'm not sure Nybo had a good angle to judge it if he was standing the same place where he's shown on the camera, Ricky's back might have blocked his view. However, if JohnE was at the some place as he's shown on camera he probably had a good enough look at it to second Nikko. Maybe he didn't want to be part of another Memorial rules snafu (he already is technically). Ricky probably is far enough away to call it on himself, though.

I don't think it really is about ricky and paul peaking as it is about other guys getting better... Once ricky and Paul knock the rust off a little bit, its gonna be one heck of a season with all these great players battling it out...

Hmm... just looked at some up coming events and Eagle isn't signed up for the next 2 DGPT events. Probably a good thing for him. I think he got burnt out pretty bad towards the end of last year.
