Notable guys that Tiger beat last week and didn’t make the cut. Matt Fitzpatrick (World Rank 13) Jordan Spieth (17) Justin Rose (34) Keegan Bradley (21) Sam Burns (14) Billy Horschel (19) Hideki Matsuyama (22)

Tiger is fine, he played better than most people expected with very high ball speeds and he is only going to get better as his leg/ankle/foot get stronger

Correct, they changed the rule in 2003. They used to do that until a car was stopped right next to the start finish line and nearly got hit at full speed while racing back to the line.

Also track workers were out on hold until the track was clear, or put in danger if they entered the track while racing back to the yellow.

I'm assuming you're American? we were in a "active war" for 20 years, should our athletes not participated during those years?

I actually understand why Russia would be banned here. They've been caught doping many times. Is Belarus because of the Ukrainian thing? Not sure I understand. The athletes from those countries have nothing to do with the political musings of their countries leaders. Do you really think Belarus and Russia give two fucks about the Olympics when they are invading other countries? The Nazis participated in the 1936 Olympics. Just don't get where the line is here.
