It's time again for the rowdy 16th hole at TPC Scottsdale. It's fun to watch but it's good that it's the only hole on the Tour where that kind of behavior is encouraged.

The field is not bad but there are a lot of notables missing including the top 6 in OWGR, 7 of the top 10, and a bunch of others from the top 25.

Could we try to avoid the play-by-play postings of every shot this week? The 43 pages in the Farmers thread was a little bit much. Thanks.

If Sir Phil keeps this up he's on course to shoot a 53!

GO PHIL!!!

[mptiesko10]

No Live@ this week?  This would be one of the better weeks to broadcast it.

[QMany]

I think I am going to attend this tournament next year. I'm down for golf and partying.

That being said, I am not a huge fan of the course. I have watched the tournament the last three years, and I can only remember Hole 16 & 17.

My man Phil is tearing it up today!

Totally. Nice to see Woodland off to a good start too.

Don't worry, there's no Tiger or Rory. I would advise you to abstain from any discussion regarding tournaments with those 2 golfers involved. This one might get to 10 pages. Surely you can handle that!

In other news, it's nice to see Phil getting off to a good start at -6 through 8 holes.

[Baai]

Already two eagles on the par 4 17.

[Smpear]

Posting just to see if I can bump us to a second page.

[MarkFromTheUK]

29 out for Sir Phil. Could have been 28 if he hadn't missed a 6 footer for birdie on the par 5. Still...can't criticize too much.

Come on Philip, bring home the 59.

[timbo08]

WOW!  Phil is absolutely tearing it up.  Wish I was seeing this live.

[MarkFromTheUK]

-8 through 10! Put his name on the trophy...

Wow! While i appreciate that you like to start these tournament threads week in and week out, I am not sure dictating what people post in it is an inherent benefit of doing so.

[cardoustie]

A 58 would be sweet, he is either making putts or hitting flagsticks

Absolutely! Those guys are fun to watch.

Phil is going crazy low today.  It just shows you how hard Torrey was playing last weekend.

[Golfnutgalen]

Holy cow Phil, wow I did not expect this! You guys know that Bo shot a 59 in his practice round right? Anyway, Phil is on course to shoot that score when it counts.

Er no it doesn't. This is Phil Mickelson we're talking about.

Come on Phil! Four birdies required in seven holes for a 59! He's had to lay up on the par five but is 60 yards away in two. Come on Phil!

Edit. Up and in on the par five, -9 after 12. Only three more birds required!

I forgot to mention this last weekend, but thank God Rickie Fowler finally shaved his awful mustache.

Actually it does show you how hard Torrey was playing.  I'm not just talking about Phil, but look at guys like Mahan, Woodland, English who are going low today.  Scores weren't this low last week unless you were playing the North course.

We all know Phil is an enigmatic figure sometimes in relation to which game will show up each week, but it's inarguable this course is playing much easier than Torrey did.

[The Dane]

f*****g A Phil

[mackepa]

Phil is flat out rolling it! Holy cow!

[MarkFromTheUK]

-10 thru 13... this is playstation-like scoring.

...and for the first time, a tournament thread without Tiger reached 44 pages!

[MarkFromTheUK]

Think it's fair to say that Sir Phil has his irons dialled in today, and his putter is pretty hot too... strokes gained-putting 3.910 (so far!!)

Yeah but you were just talking about Phil... "Phil is going crazy low today.  It just shows you how hard Torrey was playing last weekend."

The frackin Golf Channel will end up airing golf right after Phil gets done. Why bother watching lol.
