Yeah, who cares about Slate’s take on golf? They’re either trying to be willingly ignorant and witty about this or just being morons and not taking 2 minutes to do some background about reporting on it.

Show me on the doll where Slate hurt you.

I don’t really care for them either way, just seems like they’re going out of the way to be whimsical and too cool about it (like the “sports ball” mention above) or they just didn’t take any time to do some basic research.

 

It is the biggest tournament of the year and was part of a tradition at Augusta with trying to skip the ball on the water to the hole during practice rounds and it was done by a current top golfer in the world and a favorite to win. It wasn’t some dudes caddy or kid or spouse during the par 3 event they normally do.

Yep. We are all well aware. I posted the article because the "who is this Jon character?" bit was ridiculous and topical. I thought the Trout comparison made that clear.

Who the hell cares about Slate disrespecting Jon Ramh. I follow some golf from time to time and never heard of the guy. Lighten up Francises

...that's dumber than the Slate article, which I have to imagine was partially in jest.

 

caring about individual golfers is the dumbest thing of all

Its not about caring. Its like saying you follow the Cubs while not knowing who Ian Happ is. I am not exaggerating.

Bryson is struggling

 

Good amount of low scores with the soft conditions this morning, but says something about his skill level that after that start and generally struggling through the round, he's still at -1 through 17.

If you can't get excited about a frat douche named Bryson Dechambeau doing roids and pissing off country club douches who brag about how their US Open course is unbeatable, then perhaps it is you who is the dumbest thing of all.

 

Also Tiger. Who didn't love Tiger?

Yeah getting to -2 today still is testament to his skill level. Today was probably the worst day for him with conditions elevating the field with soft greens and him not getting as much run out on drives. Still think he’s going to relatively struggle through the rest of the tournament though, his warts showed today with the iron/wedge play and the putting. Just feel this courts fits a lot of other guys better for their games.

Bernhard Langer out here under par at 63. He’s the man. I just hope I’m able to take solid shits and play 18 holes at muni course from the woman’s/senior tees 2-3 times a week without dying at that age

No, it's not like that at all.

That's exactly what the guy who has never heard of Jon Rahm WOULD say.

Hey! Lookit that! I'm in 38th place in the millionaire maker! Go Jon Rahm!

 

...now in 29th...

So because I know you are all on the edge of your seats, my lineup is Cam Smith, Ancer, Dustin Johnson, Im, Rahm...and Cam Champ who went from 8th place to +4 today and just under the projected cut line. FML.

So, I built one lineup for this Draftkings millionaire maker. I used all of my salary, and decided to bump down to Rham from Thomas to try and make my line up unique. Unfortunately, another genius did the same thing, so I was going to be duplicated either way. The Thomas line up won a million. I'll have to settle for 125k. It's not a million dollars, but few things are. I guess I'll take it.
