Was absolutely beautiful to watch.
Finau in the 3-ball.
Loved seeing him getting emotional in post round interview. These journeymen bust their asses just to stay on tour so it’s awesome to see them win.
That nothing tournament win got him $1.2M...next week's WGC event (guaranteed check)....PGA, US Open, Maui, Masters next April, and the Players.
John Daly played a regular shaft. Surely you hit it farther than Daly did, right?
Apparently you didn't read past the nothing tournament part of my post. That win probably meant more to him than a major would to Rickie Fowler because of everything you mentioned plus the exemption for the regular tour events.
No....just focused on your "nothing tournament" quote...quite a laundry list of spiffs for a nothing tournament.
Tony has to win one soon right? He has talent but nerves seem to get to him.
That is why I hated to see Kentucky boy Josh Teater lose that tournament earlier this year the way he did. He is one of those guys who has had to work hard to keep his card. The thing is he is one of the good guys too unlike some who, based on stories about them, are total douche bags.
The longer it goes for Finau, of course, the worse it gets. Nerves, pressure, frustration have crept in at this point. BUT once he breaks through i definitely see a major in his future.
Guess it depends on what your definition of elite is? What is your definition of elite?
Was 3 post debating every word he said really worth it ? What he meant to say (obvious by the strength of the field or lack of), is that the 3M is not a real important tourney for the big dogs on tour. Which is exactly why journeymen have a chance to contend for the win. The Barbasol Open looked like a weekend hacker flight tournament on TV, but it paid big money for winning and exemptions, but it is a no name tournament. Does Thompson win if Rahm, McElroy, JT, Rose, Scott, Dechambeau, Ect, ect would have played ? Maybe, he played great. But Finau was the only top ranked player to finish in the top 20, and he has not won in a good while. No need spending multiple post bashing a guy with your vast knowledge of the game of golf, especially when you are wrong in the debate. But that has never stopped you, you never let facts get in the way of a good argument. We all know that even the least ranked tournament is going to pay a million to win, we do not need a guru telling us that.

Heard from a little birdie that the PGA knew of covid positives and moved them into the same groupings last week.
No names, though.

No. Not good enough for KY Open. May be able to sneak in and qualify for State Am with a good day. Just turned 50, is it 50 or 55 for Senior Open.
The PGA has done the best at resuming play than any other sport. They are letting players play after no symptoms after 10 days. They are not testing players for 3 months after recovering. They are following the science.
kudos to them. I’m watching more regular tour events than I ever have.

As a not good golfer it’s uncanny what a hold fast greens have on my brain. I play at Lake Forest where the greens this year have been slow as hell....I feel like a maestro. Played at Champions Pointe a few weeks ago....ice skating rink. I honestly felt like an eight year old playing golf for the first time. Was an embarrassment. Go back to LF and the shag carpet greens and drain em left and right.
Golf is hard. I respect good golfers immensely.
