the second major of the year starts Thursday. I'll admit it isn't my favorite of the year for multiple reasons, but mainly because I'm sure we will have BLOCKIE crammed down our faces again.

I'd love to see Spieth win it to get the grand slam, but my gut tells me Bryson will win it.

This is Rory's to tourney to win.

With his success so far this year, his win at the Masters to build off of, and his history at Quail Hollow it'd be crazy for anyone to NOT pick him.

Yeah Rory has to be the bigtime favorite this week. Crazy how this year has lined up for him winning Augusta and also getting the PGA at Quail Hollow and Open at Royal Portrush.

Everything is in front of him to have a historic season.

My bookie hasn't posted odds yet, but crazy as it sounds there might be some actual Scottie value this week with Rory as hot as he is and Bryson being the people's champ.

On my way there now. No spectators allowed today due to weather. Tomorrow looks a little better.

Should be a great tournament. Last time it was here it played tough.

I'm aboard the Rory hype train.
Bunk Moreland

if those odds hold, then Rory is the actual value play lol.

Rory, Bryson, JT, and Hideki all look good to me.

I did not realize Rahm has won four times at Quail Hollow. If he wasn't playing LIV his odds would be much better.

Well that was a complete Google search and AI failure:

"Jon Rahm has an impressive record at Quail Hollow, winning the Truist Championship (formerly Wells Fargo Championship) four times, including in 2010, 2015, 2021, and 2024. He also holds the course record with a 10-under 61 in 2015. "

Then I have no idea why Rahm is in the top favorites.

Rahm has played Quail Hollow twice. T58 in '17 and MC in '21. I'm not rostering him in my DFS groups or the golf pool I run at work.

Saw Morikawa for a few. Bottom just dropped out and horn was blown.

I'll be out there Friday and we ended up with one extra ticket if anyone is looking. Listed on SeatGeek ($300) right now, but will sell lower to any Ags.

A little surprised Scottie is the favorite on the betting sites. I'd have Rory and Bryson ahead of him at this point.

Per Hunter Mahan….

"I guess I would say Quail Hollow is like a Kardashian," the six-time PGA Tour winner told Gabby Herzig of "The Athletic." "It's very modern, beautiful and well-kept. But it lacks a soul or character."

Scheffler might rent a helicopter to get to the course, given last year's PGA incident

7600 par 71. Talk about a course where length is critical.

I like Quail Hollow but I wish they would have more majors at courses like Harbor Town where it isn't all about length.
Bunk Moreland

Length important for sure but early on it's guys hitting fairways and greens at the top.

I agree. Essentially half of the field is eliminated before the tournament even starts.

Rory, Xander & Scottie just making a mess of 16

I look at the final leaderboard from 2017 and I don't see that you have to be a bomber to play well.

Swing speed is a huge advantage in golf regardless of how long the course is so the long hitters are going to have an advantage no matter what.

You're exactly right. You don't have to be a bomber to play well, but in most cases these days the majors are set up where bombers have a huge advantage going into the tournaments. It wouldn't hurt to have a major on a shorter, tighter course from time to time though just for arguments sake to see something different.

I think thats why The Open is so great with the pot bunkers and links style that at least protects greens more and makes hitting fairways mean something. It gives a little more even playing field imo

Looks like Koepka has played his way out of the tournament already. He cannot hit it straight to save his life.

Actually +7, I think.

He hit it OB and made triple even though the graphic on ESPN showed it as a bogey.

Interesting leaderboard so far. Rory cards a +3. Scottie struggled to get momentum but got it to -2.

One of the biggest WTF leaderboards in awhile. I assume it will change significantly by Sunday.
