Of the guys at the top, I'm pulling for the guy currently at the top:  JJ Henry.  Would be good to see a local guy win!

Yeah, J.J. would be a popular winner today.  He's got it going so far.  I love watching him strike the ball.  We'll see if the nerves hold up.

[CowtownTexas]

He's got a 5 footer for bogie right now.  I'm sure there are plenty wearing purple in the crowd following him.

[CowtownTexas]

JJ follows a bogie with an ACE!  Back to the top!

That's what I call a bounce-back!

[PGArox]

Danny Lee in with his best performance of the year, currently tied 17th.

Wow!

[CowtownTexas]

I believe Lee lives about 5 minutes from the course.  Good to see him finish well.

Wow!

Dufner makes birdie, but still loses the tee box.

I have alot of friends following that group.  I imagine they're pretty loud right now.

Anyone BUT Phoney Phil please.   Thanks.

You're a Real Phil Fan.

Hardly a breath of wind today.  Should be some birdies coming down the stretch.

[PGArox]

Joe Durant really has it going this weekend.  After a 65 yesterday, he's -3 today.

And the big Aussie, Marc Leishman, is hanging very tough, looking for his first TOUR victory.

Should be great viewing today.  GO PHIL!

[bepo]

this sucks, no early coverage on TGC and phil's making a charge.

Yeah, not too good at hiding it, am I?

He's my least favorite golfer by a long shot.  He's incredibly talented, but I don't like him as a person.

Here comes the Mick!  On fire today!

[CowtownTexas]

I hope Andres Gonzales makes a couple of birdies down the stretch.  Would love to see him finish in the top 10 and get into next weeks field.  He absolutely cracks me up, but also like seeing guys make the most of sponsors exemptions.  Could vault him back to the big Tour.

With the Colonial being an invitation tournament, I'm not sure a top ten this week would work for Andres.  I'm not sure how it all works, though.

[PGArox]

J.J. missed an opportunity at the par 5 7th.  His short game has always held him back.

[CowtownTexas]

Yep, he gave one back to the field there.

I'm not sure how it works with Colonial's field either.  Maybe it would get him in Memorial instead?

I'm hoping it applies to invitationals and that he gets in.  I'd like to chat with him a bit.

[PGArox]

If you can believe Shot Tracker, Jason Day just missed a 3 ft. birdie putt at #8.  Ouch!

[CowtownTexas]

He missed one about that long on 18 yesterday, so Shot Tracker might be right.

[PGArox]

Phil's short game, especially his bunker play, has been brilliant this week.

If Phil can somehow post, say, -9, he could at least give the leaders something to think about.

Feherty on Dufner,

"His demeanor is coma like"

That was prety good.

Phil has it really good these days. Fans love him, he must be loving life, making 50MM a year on drug commercials, go play golf.

I am happy for him.

Very disappointing weekends for Matt Kuchar and Keegan Bradley.

Apparently, in a chat with Nick Faldo, Keegan confided that he has been struggling with whether to kind of force things to happen, or patiently wait for things to happen.

Wet ball. Oh, well.

He looks good in the drug commercials at least

[nvmyprixgt]

Did Phil just give that military dude a wad of money.

i'm not sure i've ever seen a pro athlete like Mickelson. It sounds bad but i wonder how much he really cares about winning any of the non majors anymore. He shows up, does the Mickelson thing which is being super with the fans, answering media questions and throwing in jokes, high fiving his family and taking them to baseball games and etc on the road. I feel like Phil is basically undertaking a 5 year retirement tour that's 95% about having fun and then turning the game on when he's feeling it. Apart from the majors he's like the pro golf version of Bob Hope. I almost get the feeling if he was paired up with one of the young guys he's mentoring in a final round he'd be rooting for them and probably high five them if they made a putt to beat him.

On one hand you could say i'd love to see him treat every even like Augusta. But on the other you have to appreciate that he seems to "get" life at this point

Interesting - I am in a hotel in Sydney and both the PGA and LPGA tournaments are on the TV at 6:00am

[FATC1TY]

Wow.. What a clutch putt after spraying his wedge wide on 18 by Dufner.

1st PGA win, gets married, and comes back and wins again. Man.....

Congrats to him, he's KILLIN it this year.

Hell, the man SMILED on 18, couldn't help it after that putt.
