Yeah, Tiger had a really bad two hole stretch, Jordan too plus missing at least two short putts. Rory missed a couple short putts too. Thought after Xander's double he was done for but here he is.

Francesco Molinari and Xander Schauffele are two of the biggest names out there, at least in terms of number of letters.

Molinari may become one of the big guys now too. He's been good this year and excellent on the Ryder Cup.

He’s always been a great ball striker and has finally has putted consistently.

Ryder Cup going to be awesome.

Perhaps you can see it from the creek, if you stay in the shadows.

TIL Webb Simpson is currently automatically qualified for the Ryder Cup. Guess being like one of two players to Top 20 every major this year will do that.

I think, barring injury, Tiger is a lock, but it would be good to see him in the mix this week to solidify that.

I think they definitely take Phil, if Rickie or Jordan fall out they would have to take them as well.

4 picks. Right now it's JT, DJ, Reed, Koepka, Webb, Fowler, Spieth, Bubba. I don't see any of them in danger except Webb.

Assume they'll pick Tiger, Phil and 2 others. Probably who is playing best of Bryson, Xander, Finau, Kuch, Stanley.

Course seems to be holding its own right now. 10 looks like a real bastard. And Tiger is really taking a dump so far.

This is also not very helpful for Finau's Ryder Cup chances.

Solid grind from him to do that. Going to be hot out there again today and I'm guessing the cut goes to +2. Got a very good chance to make it and can even get back in the thing if he can fire a 66 or something. Lead will probably be -9 or so after today.

Is anyone going to the BMW Champ at Aronimink?
