Looks to be a great tourney... with Tiger, Phil and Bubba paired for the first two days.

Ima be out of town today and tomorrow but hopefully I'll get to catch some of it later tonight... should be on late due to the west coast venue.

Have you seen #16? 670 yard par 5... that's crazy even for the open...

I will be watching every moment I get a chance to. I am out in SF about 4 or 5 times a year and have had the great opportunity to play both the Lakes and Ocean courses at Olympic.

The Lakes course is built for Tiger to win, so I wouldn't be surprised if he carries this tourney.

Side note that doesn't mean anything: I am a 2 handicap and I didn't shoot better than an 87 on either course from the men's tees. This tournament will be a great one.

Yeah these pros are mostly all +2 to +10... I might could break 90 if I played great, I'm playing at a 9 handicap now.

Props to Dpantherman for telling me about the USOpen app... Watching the marquee group now on my phone... 4G is so awesome.

And props to you for just now telling me about the USOpen app as well. Downloading it now.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
