swing as that is my indicator that The Masters is only about 5 or 6 weeks out.

#10 is one of the best short par 4's in the world.


Did you watch Inside the PGA Tour yesterday too?

No sir, what ya got?

They highlighted that hole specifically. It's a pretty good watch if you put it on your DVR to record.

Gotcha, that green is crazy and the bunkers are very well placed. I always remember the 1st hole as a easy Par 5, remember Tiger hitting his very 1st tee shot in a pro tournament there.

What a nice run. Torrey Pines, Pebble Beach, and Riviera. I love the California swing.

Agreed, it is the reason why I don't complain about nothing being on tv in February.

Not to mention Phoenix and the craziness of #16 there right before the Cali run.

Other than the debauchery that is #16, that course doesn't do much for me.

Love Phoenix and everything about it, but it doesn't need to be copied.

Got to watch Dustin Johnson, Bubba and Bill Haas play the back nine yesterday. The back nine looked pretty tough with driving the ball
is put at a premium on a number of holes. The greens looked very hard to hold and they had some tricked out pin positions. Could be
an exciting end to this one. I like it when they play courses where the low scores for the day are maybe -4 or -5. That is a solid day
on a difficult course.

Agreed. Last week was ridiculous, with the Sunday leader board full of -18's.

Agreed.

I think a lot of the super low scores last week was due to the nearly perfect weather.

That is definitely part of it. They had the course set up at under 7000 yards as well. Even completely tipped out this course is only 7100.

Well Pebble can't get much longer either, when the open is there the rough just gets insane.

I was tempted to say the course may be getting obsolete for the US Open but saw that even par won last time it was there so between the rough and
the fast greens it should stay put.

Couldn't believe Johnson put his wedge in the sand on 17. That should have been an easy birdie for him and he bogeyed.
Great playoff though.

Whole lot of choking going on yesterday, good to see Garcia hasn't changed.

James Hahn definitely did not choke. He made some money shots/putts.

Great story.

That dude looks like he was just out there having fun. He didn't look the least bit intimidated or nervous. Hellava playoff.

Agreed, he didn't until Dustin made that last stroke and he couldn't watch. The golf season is off to a great start in my opinion, I have enjoyed the West Coast swing, but they are also some of my favorite courses. Not as big of fan of the Florida swing.

I like the tournament in Tampa. Bay Hill isn't too bad either.

I just don't think I am a fan of all the water the courses usually have, I like a good tree lined golf course and the desert courses. Although I love Ponte Vedra.

(Hahn told this story in his presser, I just saw it last night)

Hahn was signing autographs and talking to fans between his 72nd hole and the playoff......he asks a fan, whose hat he's signing, what is going on with the tournament, and the fan says "3 way playoff between Dustin Johnson, Paul Casey and some other guy".

In Hahn's bag this week was a hybrid from 2011, and a 3-wood from 2007.

He should have signed the hat, "some other guy"
