WATCH Justin Thomas’ horrorshow 9 at the British Open
Like the old saying goes, “If at first you don’t succeed, torpedo your chances of making the cut at The Open with a string of bad decisions on one hole.”
Justin Thomas started his second round just two strokes off the lead after a tidy opening-round 67.
On the sixth hole, things went from bad to worse for Thomas. Attempting to play his third shot from deep in the bottom of the proverbial salad of rough grasses, Thomas swung and missed.
Instead of stopping the bleeding and deeming the ball unplayable, Thomas stepped up to the plate again to the same result. Keen, apparently, for the strikeout, he swung again. To extend the baseball metaphor, the swing produced a foul ball out of play (or so it appeared).
It was at this point Thomas elected to take a drop, which is what, in the fullness of hindsight, he should have done to begin with. Of course, this is easy to say, but what percentage of us, with our kettles at a rolling boil, would have the good sense to back off and take a drop?
You can watch the carnage unfold below.
Thomas went on to make a quintuple-bogey nine on the hole. Kudos to JT for hanging tough for the rest of the round, however.

What GolfWRXers are saying about Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing Kevin Kisner’s new Callaway X Forged CB irons which he has in the bag at this week’s CJ Cup. WRXers have been commenting on the switch and the clubs themselves in our forums.
For lots more photos, check out the full thread here.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- btyh: “Holy offset.”
- Glf_LU: “These are interesting. Not going to make a rush to judgement until I see them in person. It does look like a little more offset than I would expect to see in this model.”
- bcflyguy1: “Kisner is not one to make a lot of equipment changes (see the GBB driver he’s still using), so if these do have staying power in his bag that will be interesting to see. I have to wonder if there’s something different about his set, because like others have mentioned there appears to be more offset on his than I recall seeing in the samples I’ve had in hand.”

WATCH: PGA Tour players play hole blindfolded and it’s hilarious/amazing
As part of a Srixon campaign, four PGA Tour players recently participated in a three-hole challenge, with each hole being a different game; hole No. 1 was blindfolded, hole No. 2 was costumes and distractions, and hole No. 3 was alternate shot with a baseball bat. The teams were Smylie Kaufman and Sam Ryder against Shane Lowry and Grayson Murray.
Watch the full video below, since it is quite entertaining (albeit not the type of golf that Old Tom Morris surely had in mind), but in particular, make sure to check out the first hole where Lowry and Ryder play a full hole completely blind folded. It’s amazing to watch how badly Ryder struggles, and how Lowry nearly makes par.
What happens when 4 #PGATOUR pros take a day off?
Luckily, the cameras were rolling.

Cleveland-Srixon’s marketing department has been hard at work crafting these viral-esque ad campaigns; if you remember, former long-drive champion Jamie Sadlowski recently dressed as 80-year-old Grandpa Jamie to fool range-goers. That video has since gathered over 1.2 million views on YouTube.

Why did this pop up as a headline for me when it’s a year old?

JT stuck around to fly back with his close friend Jordan on whatever jet they had waiting for them. Maybe he can learn some course management from Speith. Can’t imagine Jordan in that situation simply whacking away like that. For all the hype at the rough at Erin Hills I don’t recall anything like that happening except for Kevin Na in his video.

He did stay the rest of the weekend and was there to congratulate Spieth after his winning final round, so I think he’s got his head on mostly straight.

Methinks he thinks he’s better that we think.
