Phil Mickelson, yikes

Well that might have been the worse I have ever seen the US play in the Ryder Cup. Lost all four afternoon matches by at least 2 up, and Europe now leads 5-3.

[Thomkal]

US suckitude continues in Europe. Lose the morning session 3-1, currently split in the afternoon sessions. Tiger Woods not won a point yet in this Cup.

[Thomkal]

afternoon matches not quite over, but looks like a split of the afternoon groups right now will give Europe a 10-6 going into singles tomorrow. Tiger lost 5&4.

[Thomkal]

US just cannot solve playing the Ryder Cup in Europe. Though they played better as a group today, they were too far behind. Biggest names on the US generally did not play well, and some (i'm looking at you Mickelson) were pretty awful. Congrats to the Euros.

[bronconick]

Furyk's selections went 2-10. The Euros did much better. Woods and Mickelson were 0-6

[Jas_lov]

Tiger with the lead. Molinari falling apart.

[Edward64]

I'm glad Tiger is back on top. He probably won't dominate now like he did then but I feel he has paid his dues.

What could have been if he had not gotten distracted.

My wife was there. Took some customers of hers. Said it was nuts.

I am indescribably jealous.

She didn't even want to go. Complained about it for weeks, but she is the VP so she had to be there.

I actually tweeted about it to the guys on VSIN and they made fun of her on the radio.

So oh yeah Golf is still being played, and what is normally the 4th major of the year, the PGA, started today

[AlexB]

While there’s obviously a financial hit, I’m loving seeing the courses without the stands and spectators

[PilotMan]

From what I've read the players seem to like it too. Who wouldn't?

I was supposed to be attending round 3

[Thomkal]

Bummer Kingfc.

It's weird seeing a course with no spectators/crowd roars and groans.

Also weird: Seeing players in sweaters with temp's in the 60's and probably a windchill after countless days here with temps above 80, high humidity and heat index with little wind (other than the hurricane). Hard to imagine when I'll need to wear a sweater again here.

I saw Phil Mickelson this summer in Ocean City, MD. He guaranteed he would win this years Masters.

Go get em Phil! pic.twitter.com/360WufwBXm

Going to be a weird Masters, no fans, no par-3 contest, and the colors coming from the trees not the flowers

[Thomkal]

Well we have seen what a defenseless Masters looks like, no wind, slower greens and probably the lowest scores under par after one round. Lead by Dustin Johnson, Paul Casey,and Dylan Fritteli at -7. Most of the well known names are close too including Tiger and Phil. The late tee times yesterday are turning right back and starting the second round now. The players who tee off later may not finish their rounds.

[Thomkal]

Dustin Johnson got to -10 before falling back a couple, then parred every hole after that until he birdied his 18th hole, the 9th to finish at -9. He's joined there by Justin Thomas, Abraham Ancer, and Cam Smith so far as the afternoon groups get under way

[Thomkal]

Dustin Johnson ties the 54 hole scoring record at the Masters with a no bogey, -7 under round. His -16 under leads by 4 shots. Nice birthday present DJ, thanks

[Thomkal]

Dustin Johnson had an 0-4 record with a 54 hole lead coming into this round, and early on looked like he might go 0-5, but settled down with no other top players making a move leaving players with little Masters experience to chase him. Came back strong on the second nine to set a new Masters scoring record of -20 and wins his first Green Jacket.
