Players complaining about the bunkers not being perfect, welcome to the real world. Years ago Nicklaus said the sand bunkers had become too easy to get out of and didn’t he go to a groove type raking in the bunkers. All the pros who claimed they loved a challenge back then cried like babies.

Thanks, Geoff. Is it just me or is the ESPN broadcast team much more enjoyable to listen to than the CBS crew? If David Duval wanted the job, he could be just the "Johnny Miller" we've been waiting for. I wouldn't blame him if he didn't want the hassle of the job (travel, etc..) but after his commentary on Patrick Cantlay yesterday, Phil's self immolation, etc, I wish he would. Scott Van Pelt, and the rest of their crew seem to be the antidote to the CBS Pro golfers cheering section.

Imagine Donald Trump siding with LIV. Saudi blood money, unmitigated greed over a competitive PGA tour doesn't bother him at all. I wonder if Jack still thinks he's good for golf?

Correction alert: that's Chardon, Ohio. I was given Chardonnay and unfortunately, the site fact checker hit a wall last night and lazily knew better than to run that without fact checking if such a place existed (he knew better and still sent this off to the printer!). Apologies for the mistake.

Woods said "The sand is a lot faster than I thought it would be." Is there anyone else on the planet besides Woods who would describe bunker sand as "fast?"
