2018 Houston Open

[bigred90gt]

I’ve played the course a handful of times, but never anywhere near tourney conditions. The rest of the year, the course conditions are mediocre at best. Average daily fee conditions for the most part.

 

This year, we have a tee time for next Saturday. Course should still be incredible.

 

Truth be told, I’m more interested in playing the members course. I went the last year they held it there (before the tourney course was finished), and the next year which was the first year on the tourney course. Members course is phenomenal.

i played the tourny course last week and was in great shape.. PM me if you ever want to play the members side

will do. I’ve got a buddy who marshals there that said he could get me on either course for next to nothing with him. I just haven’t had a chance to make it happen.

If you ever need a fourth let me know....I played the tourney course the week of spring break and it was in excellent shape.

ive played the members course in a 4 man scramble but not the tourny course. let me know if you have anymore openings lol

[bigred90gt]

I’m pretty sure it’s already a 4some. My buddy set up the tee time and invited me.

Go Jordan!

 

Spieth?

 

He could really really use the momentum.

 

He most certainly could.

Re-watched the 16' masters yesterday... He's definitely missing something currently. When he's on the guy is so special. Maybe he's playing too hard?

 

Getting mono has really hurt him this season

[MarkFromTheUK]

Only one winner this week.

 

GO KING PHIL!!!!!!!

[Catty]

This is a very underrated tournament. Here is a link to the field https://www.pgatour....open/field.html

 

Pulling for Sneds, as he needs a win to get into the Masters.

 

Followed the link to have a look at the field. It could well be the photographs but that sure is one ugly looking bunch. 90% of the field are so ugly they make Dufner look like a stud.

 

Despite this being no beauty pageant the field is definitely an interesting one.

Yet they all have hot wifes/girlfriends. They must have top personalities or a really great

sense of humour.

According to the Strength of Field formula for the OWGR, this is the worst field in Houston in a decade. I don't see it myself, but........math!

 

Stricker to win and go to Augusta.

 

Where do you find the Strength of Field for each tournament?

 

The OWGR website usually sets a field strength number before the tourney starts to set the weight they put on the tourney for OWGR points.

 

OK, I see it. Is there a single table that shows the SOF for each tournament played so far this year?

[cjblake09]

Well it poured here overnight so i am sure they are going to be delayed this morning. Some areas got as much as 6".

[JaNelson38]

Tee times delayed one hour, per the PGA Tour.

 

Pretty amazing considering the amount of rain that fell.

[scott_Donald]

Yes GF was driving to the hairdressers then had to stop due to localised tornados, never made her appointment.

 

lots of rain to say the least.

[hybrid25]

Good looking field,Phil is in, Tiger is not. Is his back bothering him?

Tiger never plays the week before a major

Click on the "EVENTS" link on the OWGR home page. The total list of events for the year will come up.

[JaNelson38]

I see they've adjusted the first tee time to 9:20 AM now. So the first round will not get completed today.

yeah website says 1 hour delay, but its obviously 2...

 

I would think everyone who tees off before 3 should finish today, doesnt leave too many to finish up in the morning.

[lowndes]

I have a feeling there are going to be some really low scores today.

[MarkFromTheUK]

It looks rather moist.

The course drains really well.

A couple of sweet featured groups on PGA TOUR LIVE. Nice start by Jordan. How 'bout a 59? :)

[gantoise1]

And Smylie at +3 after 2 holes.

[MarkFromTheUK]

The words “Stenson” and “compress” in the same sentence. It only took 5 mins to win soundbite bingo.

[Birdie Mac]

And Smylie at +3 after 2 holes.

 

Unfortunate. Undone by an errant tee shot. Pulling hard for this guy to turn it around. I'm surprised Patrick Reed isn't playing. He lives here, and has played before.

nice fatted 3 wood....

Man, this tournament isn't getting much love from the WRX crowd. No play by play or color commentary? Word is there's a tournament of sorts next week. Is everyone saving their chops for that one?

You could always provide it.

[GMN_02]

Its sad that when I check the leaderboard for Smylie, I automatically hit the End key on my keyboard. +4 through 6 what is going on with him.

Would love to, but I'm working today. I check in from time to time.
