Adam Scott enters the week at #1 in the world

http://www.pgatour.com/tour-insider/2014/05/21/adam-scott-world-no-1-crowne-plaza.html

Quote:

Is Adam Scott the best player in the world?

A better way to put it is to ask who has been better during the last two years? Besides, someone has to be No. 1.

Sure, Tiger Woods had more wins last year with five (albeit none in a major). Jimmy Walker leads the FedExCup standings with three wins since October (again, none in a major). But when it comes to getting to No. 1, playing big in big tournaments is what gets rewarded.

Scott certainly did that on his way to replacing Tiger Woods atop the Official World Golf Rankings earlier this week -- even if he did it while sitting on the couch.

The Aussie won last year’s Masters, was third at The Open Championship and fifth at the PGA Championship. He also closed out 2013 with a pair of wins Down Under -- weaker fields, but with the added pressure of wanting to play well in a rare appearance in his home country.

Yes, Scott is 0-for-2014 in the wins department but hasn’t been without opportunity, most notably at Bay Hill and Augusta National, where opportunities slipped away on the weekend.

In seven starts on the PGA TOUR this year, Scott has three top 10s. His worst finish was a tie for 38th at THE PLAYERS Championship. Outside of that, he has just one finish outside the top 15.

The guy he replaced also hasn’t played a tournament in more than two months, and even before being sidelined by back surgery was off to the worst start of any season of his career.

"You want to do it playing well and getting good results,” Scott said recently of getting to No. 1. “But it's just the way our system is.”

I hope so, been waiting patiently for him to break through. He's currently on my fantasy team bench for this week.

I really don't understand the world rankings and disregard them for the most part.

Man, Dufner certainly has been showing a bad temper lately. The term "Dufnering" is soon going to be synonymous with throwing your club at your bag.

What happened to Rickie??

He sure needs gods help on that round. He had two triple bogey's. OUCH!!

Maybe he got a pinched nerve in his back when he and Bubba were flipping from their hotel rooms into the pool.

Adam (tied for 77).... - you need to pick up the pace here - you know, start your signature "last couple of rounds are great" thing sooner.  ( It's still early, but Henrik is doing what he needs to do so far)

So Stenson (tied for 4th) will pass Scott and become No. 1 in the world if he wins and the Aussie doesn't.

-- Stenson finishes fourth and Scott is fifth or worse

-- Stenson finishes sixth and Scott is 10th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 12th and Scott is 20th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 15th and Scott is 30th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 17th and Scott is 40th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 19th and Scott is 50th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 29th and Scott is 53rd or worse (winning zero points)

I'm not sure where the same breakdown lies for Kuch (tied for 83), but it's likely similar?

I've never heard of this Brice Garnett guy; he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. Knowing how this season has gone, my guess is he'll win by six strokes.

Yeah and Stenson's T3 right now at Wentworth, so i'd be surprised if he's not number one come monday [quote name="Chilli Dipper" url="/t/74728/2014-crowne-plaza-invitational-at-colonial-discussion-thread#post_993623"]I've never heard of this Brice Garnett guy; he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.

it's early yet

I like both these players (as well as) so there's no outcome here for #1 that I wouldn't cheer on

Did not Scott recently marry a woman?  His poor play may be some kind of response to the rigors of the honeymoon life. Ya know what i mean?

Mother of God. Another week with no namers in the lead. Brice Garnett, Chris Stroud, and Robert Streb 1-2-3. Wtf? You know its bad when Chris Stroud is the "big" name in that top 3. Here's hoping DJ somehow wins this so golf doesnt projectile vomit any longer.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
