I swear I don't know how many swings I've ever seen that look easier than Oosthuizen's. Just so damn smooth.

Just makes you think "maybe the game is really that simple and easy" until you're standing above the ball and have to do it yourself.
Love Oosty. Probably my favorite golfer now (Couples will always be #1).
Tiger looking very solid. Playing his usual conservative game and keeping himself out of trouble so far. Just lipped out a birdie on 5 and has a short birdie putt on 6 to go -1. Everyone looks a little tentative on the greens. They've had a lot of rain so probably playing a little slower than normal.
He’s f’d mentally. Has been for awhile. He honestly should shut it down for a bit.
Honestly Tiger playing as well as he is so far is remarkable. He's been there before and wouldn't be playing if he didn't think he was ready, but still. Coming off the injuries and lengthy break just looking like he belongs is impressive.
What was it, 3 years ago when he was competing for a Major? Then all of a sudden his mental game fell apart, similar to Spieth.
Higgs and Gooch sounds like an 80's sitcom.
I've tried a lot of new "cowabunga" sports since I moved to west coast and drastically better at all of them on my very first try than I was after 20ish years of golf. Always enjoyed it, but hard for me to improve or even simply keep from getting worse.
Everyone I've ever taken out to hit golf balls for the first time or taken out to play has the same "damn I really thought this would be easier" response generally.
Tony Finau has wrecked my pool many times. I didn't pick him this year, so I bet he does well.
My wife got into golf the last few years. She didn't realize how hard it is. I told her that its a sport people can play their entire lives and never fully master. She now sees how impressive some of the things these golfers are going each round.
