BG's in with 67 (-4) and 137 (-5). At T-28, he moved up twenty spots today and made the -1 cut by four. Hunter shot 66 (including an eagle 3 on the par five 7th) and is now at 139 (-3 / T-43), two shots behind Brian.

I know Phil friends with Couples but its hard to me to believe he would play the Presdent's Cup...he looks listless out there right now with millions on the line, let along what would be an exhibition for a team comp which is like his 20th. If he does not play wouldnt that make Glover on the team and then another pick?
Well, BG didn't finish well this weekend, shooting 73-72 to finish at 282, T-54. Both Lucas and Hunter shot 279 (T-36) and beat him. In the 'black box' that is the FedExCup Points System . . .
BG dropped from 8th to 13th.
Lucas dropped from 9th to 14th; and . . .
Hunter dropped from 15th to 23rd.
So, BG leads the two Presidents Cup Captain's Picks in FedExCup Points.
He ranks 12th in Presidents Cup Eligibility (trailing Lucas (11th) but leading Hunter (13th).
It was a close contest.
That's why there are ten qualifiers and two Captain's Picks. Freddie has made his choices. Play well, everybody!
Congrats to Steve Stricker on his Deutsche Bank win. Also to Tiger on his terrific closing 63.
Here's a photo (#1) I took of the two at this year's PGA Championship at Hazletine. The Finish (Station Three) similarities are obvious and should be emulated by all who aspire to an improved level of play.
Also, check out Steve's Address (Station One) alignments (#2), particularly the On Plane Right Forearm. Kind of reminds you of Brian Gay, doesn't it (#3-#5)? Remember him? This is the same guy who inspired these words from the CBS Tower during his dominating Memphis win:
"Nobody in the game sets up with his right arm like him."
Can you or one your machinist give us a TGM break down on Steve Srickers swing pattern? Johnny Miller was commenting on how little wrist action he uses and how it might be a good swing pattern for amateurs emulate.
With the lack of accumalator lag how does he get 290 out of his driver? Drive load? hitter or swinger? Angle hinging?

Looks like a swinger to me - goes past top and looks to be a horizontal hinge.
I saw that part of the telecast, also, and I think he was hitting a very controlled iron shot into the green on that one. If I had to guess, I think he purposely used less #2 there. Looking at the above video, he's got close to a 90 degree bend between his left arm and the club shaft, and his right elbow is definitely bent, further indicating he's established an out-of-line condition. Looks to me like he sustains that angle deep enough into his swing that it would be power generator. Personally, I think #2 is a little overrated for distance; not saying you won't hit if further with more #2, just that you can hit it plenty far without a lot of #2.
