goose Posted August 12, 2022 Posted August 12, 2022 I think it's cool that LIV players are resigning from the PGA rather than stay as a suspended player and take a tour spot from some grinder. Bubba Watson is the latest to make that move

The money some of those lower-rankers could make might be the difference between staying tour-eligible or having to go back and requalify. 1
goose Posted August 14, 2022 Posted August 14, 2022 Just two strokes off the lead going into Sunday's round Cam Smith got some bad news an hour before his tee time. He'd been assessed a two stroke penalty from an improper placement of his ball when taking relief Saturday. A player must take full relief when moving out of a hazard, and Cam had dropped the ball so that it rested on the red hazard line. Weird that he didn't know tge rule, even weirder that his caddy missed the violation 2

laughedatbytime Posted August 14, 2022 Posted August 14, 2022 Is it bad that whenever I hear the name JJ Spaun, that Fountains of Wayne song goes through my head? Maybe not quite as bad as when I'm watching an NFL game and a pass is thrown in the direction of DJ Chark...

It`s not much of a hazard unless you come wet and filthy... maybe that`s just a UK thing. 1

His interview answers regarding LIV are sophomoric at best. He says that all decisions about his career direction are made by other people, nothing to do with him, he couldn`t comment. 1

goose Posted August 28, 2022 Posted August 28, 2022 Final day of the tour championship and Scheffler going out with a six-stroke lead, I figured the thing was over. By hole 7 McElroy had tied him, a result of going -3 while Scottie went +3. It's been a three-way battle with Im in the mix as well. Just one back, when Im missed a birdie chance it seemed to set him on tilt a bit which led to a double. He followed with birdie, so we have the leaders at -21 and Im two back. Strike that. McElroy just made bogie after yanking a short approach to the short-side death zone. Four holes to play...

goose Posted August 28, 2022 Posted August 28, 2022 Scheffler, oddly one of the weakest putters on tour from 4 to 8 feet, misses another makeable putt to drop to -20. With two to play, Rory has the lead alone at -21, with Scheff and Im one back.
IbanezJem Posted August 28, 2022 Posted August 28, 2022 Try that shot and see where it ends Rory, without a grandstand to save you, like every normal golfer has to! 1

That stroke of luck came on the heels of his other break of good fortune when he mashed it into the flagstick to end up six feet away rather than five yards off the green. Better to be lucky... 1
IbanezJem Posted August 29, 2022 Posted August 29, 2022 Rory`s seized every opportunity to have a dig at LIV in recent months, so I`m more forgiving towards him than usual. 1
