GOLF thread

Somehow kuchar coming back out on Monday by himself to finish when the tourney was already over is more exciting then this
 
Caddy gave Spaun a bad number on 17, 8 was way too much club (obviously).

Golf is a weird game, Part 1000: I was a walking scorer for Spaun in his first round at ISCO last summer, don't remember he played very well (I know he had a lost ball on 17 which resulted in a double bogey). Went on to finish T45 at Champions. Go figure.

Nope. He was interviewed after the round and they knew the distance and the wind was blowing same direction on range as it was on 17. He said he was hitting his "chip 8" the distance he needed to. He said he just flushed it pure and it got up higher than he wanted and rode the wind, but it was the club he wanted.
 
Not going to blame the caddy, i even saw Spaun looking into Rory's bag to see what he hit.
Spaun did the same thing Rory did this morning simulating that shot hitting into similar wind using Trackman. He followed his game plan but Rory just executed his shot better. Golf is hard.
 
One other quick thought re the TPC, Jesus, what a list of champions, maybe more impressive than any major, since they moved to the new course anyway;

Rory (2)
Tiger (2)
Scheffler (2)
Phil
Sergio
Justin Thomas
Henrik Stenson
Adam Scott
Greg Norman
Sandy Lyle
Cameron Smith
Fred Couples
Steve Elkington (2)
Davis Love, III (2)
Janzen
Jason Day
Martin Kaymer
Hal Sutton (2)
Nick Price
Tom Kite
Rickie Fowler (back when he was considered a top player)

I think all but Fowler have won majors, several more than one.
