I do not like temper tantrum Rahm, will always root for him to lose.... slamming club with a 7 stroke lead..."tells camera man to move. Guess nothing wrong with that... I gave dogs a bath, and wife said after he was winning made a quick shave preparing for cameras.conceited much

Yeah, I'm not a big John Rahm fan at all either, 52....I've always found him to be a "spoiled hothead", meaning that if things aren't perfect for him, he'll throw a fit and demand that things should be perfect for him. There's no doubt he's a talented golfer (he's the World's #1 ranked golfer with today's win, only the 2nd Spanish player to achieve that), but it always seems that he's "entitled" to his achievements and not that he's earned them...
I get the same feeling/vibe with Aaron Rodgers and tennis star Novak Djokavic...

I am not familiar with the tennis star but agree with premadonna Rodgers as well.

Justin Thomas is probably one of the favorites heading into the PGA...
Personally, I'd like to see someone break through and win their first - Rickey, Xander or D Berger...

With no fans means no one to trample down the tall grass for errant shots. Should be a good tourney.

Also, with Tiger only playing in 1 tournament since the restart and not exactly contending in that tournament, I can't see him in contention this week at all.
I think Tiger's best shot at #16 is The Masters in November since he knows the course so well, as long as he hits fairways...

Tiger tees off at 10:33. Key for him is a good start today. Stay out of trouble and avoid the bad hole

Tiger started on the 10th:
No. 10 – Par 5
It’s an eerie feeling without crowds on a hazy morning at TPC Harding Park. Less fanfare than usual for Tiger on the 10th tee, but he stripes one regardless. It lands just in the left rough.
Tiger’s hitting out of the left rough, albeit from a favorable lie. He used a fairway woods, but it went well right and outside of the ropes. Yet again, a favorable lie and hits a high pitch that lands softly and leaves an 8-footer.
The birdie putt is good (hello, new putter) and Tiger is in the red to start the day.
TIGER ON THE DAY: 1 under

No. 11 – Par 3
Tiger has 6-iron from 201 yards here and it lands softly on the right side of the green before rolling to the back. He’ll have another birdie look here.
The birdie attempt was low all the way, but Tiger leaves himself with an easy tap-in par.

No. 12 – Par 4
Tiger hugs a drive around this dogleg left and it lands on the left side of the fairway. That one looked pure. Tiger is the last to hit his approach here from 182 yards, and he nestles one in (with a very helpful bounce off the left side of the green) for yet another birdie look.
Tiger was lined up right and missed it right. Birdie chance squandered.

No. 13 – Par 4
Tiger just cut one around to the right fairway on this dogleg right, and we’re doing our best to temper our excitement as we’ve now seen Tiger move it in both directions on command. We like where this is headed.
Tiger is aboard in two – birdie opps after birdie opps, folks. Back of the cup from just over 30 feet! That earns him a share of the lead.

No. 14 – Par 4
Tiger has missed his drive left here. (We’re not panicking, we’re not panicking.)
The good news is, he’s found and he got it out. He bumps one up short of the green, into a bunker. After an excellent bunker shot, the par putt sure looked like it was down. Tiger with the preemptive celebration before tapping in for bogey – his first of the day.

No. 15 – Par 4
Heck of a recovery drive here. Tiger getting it back on track by launching a fairway wood off the tee.
His second shot is aboard the green, but it backed up quite a bit and down a ridge to the front of the putting surface. Tricky putt coming up.
Tidy two-putt par and on to the next.
