It's a bit crowded at the top.

not really, there are only 57 players within 6 shots of the lead...Kuchar and the other guys who missed the cut don't have a chance to win.

I never realized how jacked Adam Scott is.

Yeah cause you're too busy looking at Amanda Dufner bounce up and down.

There are naysayers that want people to think that being jacked is extremely negative for a golf swing...I think the pic you posted should be shown every time to prove them wrong.

I'm straight and can appreciate a damn good bicep hahahah. Adam is a stud.

What will Adam Scott do when he has to lose the long putter?  Could he make that putt, under pressure with a traditional putter?

Actually, I thought "a bit crowded" was an understatement- sorry for not putting a sarcasm emoticon.  I don't recall a tournament where:

1.  So many guys were within 6 shots on Sunday

2.  So many guys who had at least a share of the final round lead ended up outside the top 9 i.e. Walker, Chappell, Stroud, Clark (t21), Matsuyama and Chad Campbell (t30)

3.  The winner and 4 other guys who finished in the top 10 were in the bottom half of the field after the first round.

I think you're going to see a lot of guys start going the "Kuchar way" of putting. Starting to see it already.

Also, curious what the rule is on the long putter. If it's not touching your body, are you still going to be allowed to use it? Because with long putters like Adam has, you can still use those things without it anchored against your body. The belly putters are definitely a goner.

I gotta believe that using that putter while not anchored would be extremely difficult, don't think that'll catch on but the Kuch style probably will. While Scott won big events with the short putter years ago, I think he'd better try to get 2 or 3 majors in the next year and a half or he may not get another.

He won the Players Championship with a traditional putter.

I think he'll be fine.

For a while I was nervous about this. I was sure he'd drop off when finally forced to ditch the broom stick. But given that he was using AimPoint yesterday, I have no doubt he'll switch to a counter-balance putter when the new rule takes effect. He'll probably be fine.

Finally caught the highlights BTW. WIsh I watched this one.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
