Which one is considered the 'easy' course?

It sounds like the Nicklaus course (NP) is considered the easiest

oh boy, Phil 3 putts 14 for another bogey

down to -1

They said Phils course harder but its yeilding good scores. Hate being behind 8 ball early. Winning scores are usu a lly between 25 to 30 under

Crap, you know, whenever I hear positive speaking about Phil's game before he even does anything, it's pure and simple JINX. I don't want to hear any speculation about him, I don't care if he's hitting 200 mph ball speed, loses 40 lbs. It means nothing if he can't translate that into strokes gained on the course.

T-80, wow.

Phil down to 79th place at the moment

sounds like the putter is the biggest culprit

green and a two putt for par on the par three 15th

-1 through 15, 81st place

Bob harig reports he changibg putting grips. Shouldn't he know what one he likes after off season prep. Geezzzzzzz

He started out so good he must really be deflated now. 3 birdies needed to save the round.

another bogey from a green side bunker on 16

now E and 99th place

Total collapse on back 9 with 2 left. All his confidence down the toilet with this 1st round. Phil has avoided pre tournament interviews but will have to talk after today. Apparently all the low 60s in practice is a no pressures situation and makes a world of difference

Struggling a bit as he is back to par

One more birdie to finish will slightly help his dinner taste better. MARK WILSON on 59 watch. Hope Phil is on a 59 watch when he plays there. I dont care f o r mutiple course events

Birdie on 17!
-1 with one to go

18th was short par 4 . Was hoping for a birdie. -1 round is im sure far from what Phil expected especially being -3 thru 6. Needs a spectacular round tomorrow . HE doesnt want to play more than 3 in a row so no time to be rusty.

Wow, -9, -8, -8, -7.

I don't know, but Phil at -1 is way way back. He better have a -7 or better in his bag, not once but twice, or he's going to be out of any discussion.

PHIL is looking lean and happy --at least when he was making putts

Geesh, T-91 .

Also, there's 3 courses, so cut can't be until after Saturday. ... Palmer Private, Nicklaus something, LaQuinta.

I've played the last 2 courses, but it was so long ago, I'm not sure which was harder. I know one of them, a tee box for a par-3 was right up against a mountain and I kept watching, waiting for the large boulders to fall on my head.

I've been gone all day. Gotta' be some rust, but I checked my phone when he was -3 early and was overly optimistic. Hope for better things tomorrow. Looking for an interview.

Phil was switching back and forth between conventional grip and the claw grip. I can't see that being a good thing.

try to contain yourself Phil says he feels a good round coming intne next few days

And Phil's never been optimistic before!

Phil birdies, -1 today to move to -2
