“The only downside here versus playing anywhere else is just the adjustment to the time zone, but I’m going to have enough sleep by the time I tee it up Thursday”.

“I’m here because I believe I can win”, Spieth said. He’s the defending champion… breaking through for his first professional win last July. But by Wednesday, the focus for the 72nd-ranked player in the world was slowly turning back to his own game.
The 21-year-old has happy memories of the event after winning the event as a teenager in 2013 to become the youngest victor on the PGA Tour in 82 years, beating Zach Johnson and David Hearn in a play-off.
This marks the first time he’s played back-to-back weeks all season.
“I nearly got pulled in”, Spieth said of the encounter, which occurred when the shark attacked a tuna the golfer had hooked.
“It doesn’t matter where it is”.
Atop the leaderboard, veteran Karrie Webb and second-year LPGA Tour player Marina Alex did their best to temper expectations at the U.S. Women’s Open. I will certainly have enough energy. “But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. It’s just sometimes there are fluke accidents”.
It’s hard to go against Spieth in any competition. Thursday marked his 25th consecutive round in the 60s at Deere Run.
“That’s the pressure of this place”, said Steve Stricker, who is 121-under par here since 2009 and has won three times. The overtime loss was Kisner’s third this year.
“It’s cool to see him stick to his commitments”.
Stallings turned himself in when he realised DHEA, which is a precursor to testosterone production, is a banned substance.
“As much as it sucks to finish where I did and be right there, it’s probably better for me in the long run, and I’m going to draw a lot more from that in a week where I get in contention”, he said. “When you’ve heard the “C” word and went through that whole battle really in your life, it brings everything back to even keel”. It’s his third playoff loss of the year. Patel said he had a lapse in judgment. That’s been the focal point of his training since hooking up with instructor Cameron McCormick of Brook Hollow Golf Club.
He said he reported his violation as soon as he realized it was on the list of banned substances.
Doug Baron was suspended for a year when he tested positive for supplemental testosterone and a beta-blocker, both suggested by a doctor, while Vijay Singh was also suspended after using deer-antler spray, although the Tour reversed its decision. The announcement that he was suspended was about five months after Stallings said he informed the tour of his violation.
Trump and the PGA of America met Monday.
It’s not quite a grand slam, but it’s pretty close. After his round, the american icon commented on the course’s conditions. The same amount of money earned by Brian Harman when he won the tournament previous year.

This means the reigning Masters and U.S. Open Champion will arrive to the most complicated course on the planet having played it once, with only the opportunity to play two, maybe three practice rounds.
