Just spoke to Will Zalatoris who says he walked two miles to make it to the course this morning with Cam Young and Austin Eckroat. Took them over two hours to make it inside the gates. Was very critical of the set-up for entry this week—he even told his parents on Monday not to.

Need the PGA Tour to start showing Ludvig's pre-shot routine in these clips. It'll add about .7 seconds. Watching him some more at Augusta was a delight. The guy literally just steps up and hits it. Unlike anything I've ever seen and I love it.

Rory McIlroy got his putter shortened at Edwin Watts Golf Shop on Friday. I talked to the store employee who helped Rory’s caddie with the task:. “I said, ‘You’re talking about an eighth of an inch. Nobody’s gonna notice that. He said, ‘Rory will.’ I said, ‘Oh. Yeah, he will.” 🤣.

This is the Jordan Spieth Experience in a photo. @jeffkmarsh 🤌
Jordan Spieth, Hole 11, Round 2, @JohnDeere Classic. Jordan pulled his tee-shot left into the hazard. His window out was tight as he yelled back to Greller whom stood over his ball. They opted to take nearest relief, dropping on the cart-path, still made bogey.

Very cool seeing players take range buckets to the chipping area to hit putts from the fairway grass like Justin Rose is doing here. We’re going to see some short game sorcery at Pinehurst, and personally, I cannot wait.

Nelly really looking out of sorts. She stopped in between the 17th and 18th holes, took off her visor and just stared at the ground. A security guard walked up to her to ask if she’s OK. Just so tough to see from the world No. 1.

Nelly hit in front of her coach, Jamie Mulligan, after the round today. She did several drills, including one where she put a ball under her right heel (probably to keep her weight on her left side?) . I always find it fascinating how different players reset after a bad day.
