What a downer you are the young man has tried so hard Glass half empty person

[bilcon]

Go jordan. I have been waiting for him to return to form. Great day yesterday. One of the good guys.

[tvbound]

While it seems his swing and ability to score is back, today will be the test to see if his mental toughness is also. One of the hardest things in golf, at any level, is following up an outstanding round with another good one.

First...it’s ONE round

Third...no matter how good he putts, he ain’t making 30 footers for four rounds
He chipped in from 70 feet...
Yes, he’s back.....

And there in lies Jordan's problem. The fact is that he never had a complete world class game. His ball striking has always been weak. He was a spectacular putter. For a few years he was close to the greatest putter in history. But when a player depends so much on one part of his game, and it eventually begins to fail him, and it always will, he doesn't have enough of the other parts of his game to compete like he once did.

Please do. To be such a downer on Jordan....give him real encouragement.

I agree is was exciting but Xander Schafflee tied him by the time he finished. Should be an exciting final round with so many still close to the top. You have to wonder what changed with Speith after playing so badly for so long.

[karostay]

Hope he doesn't suffer Phil Michelson choke syndrome

[bsoule]

Yes it was quite the round. Seems like a very nice young man but I've said that before and gotten burnt when the cameras aren't on. Will name a few I have met over the years. Trevino, Hale Irwin,Craig Stadler! met all three of those guys when I was working 3M tournament. When cameras went off boy did there personality change also. Very rude obnoxious demanding jackass's. Vowed never again to overhype players that seem like great guys. But everything I have seen or heard has been positive about Jordan so good luck to him!

Please let me enjoy this moment before the "glass half empty" comments begin.

And he has 3, repeat 3 majors, in his trophy case, oh yeah!!

Wish our Rory could putt half as good as Spieth!

If you can't play, teach. If you can't teach, retire in The Villages and post on ToTV.

He's back!!!!!!!

Doubtful, but we will see. Jordan hasn’t won since 2017. Has been off the rails since he won 3 majors. Sort of reminds me of David Duval of a few years ago. Wish him well as he really is a nice guy.

I was fan of Jordan when he came on the scene, I even bought an Under Armour cap. However, of late I'm a homer, and Brooks Koepka went to Florida State, that's been my favorite college team since the 60s. I also like his style, he doesn't get over excited or show emotion. He reminds me of Dave Marr from many years ago, in fact I followed Dave Marr at the St. Petersburg Open in 1962. I'm glad to see Brooks back.

Also I still like Jordan and Xander Schauffele, who also is from the school of cool. My only gripe with Xander was his name, he was born Alexander, why didn't he just cut it short to Alex Schauffele, so much easier to say and remember. Never seen anyone use the second half as their name.



PS - My second favorite golfer is not an American, but I don't care. It's Rory McIlroy and even bought one of his limited edition headcovers just like he uses on his driver and it has his signature but it's only a copy. They made a 1,000 of these and I saw them going for $100, I was able to get one on eBay auction for $22.

I'm a fan and was thrilled by his performance yesterday. But, I don't expect him to win today against Schauffele. Schauffele was playing very well; Jordan was putting very well. He's still blocking his drives way out to the right, leaving himself very difficult approach shots. Xander is pretty much crushing it down the middle. But I'm still pulling for Jordan.
