For years, Colonial was top dog, and the Byron Nelson played second fiddle. The Nelson’s fundraising, coupled with Byron’s presence, elevated it for a while, but now both tournaments are smack dab in the middle of the May dead zone. Most players tee it up in Charlotte the week before the Players, and many will play the Memorial next week as a U.S. Open tune-up. That leaves this week and last week as the obvious weeks off.

Want proof? Kuchar and Mahan are the only players ranked in the top 10 who are teeing it up this week in Fort Worth.

I saw on Twitter that Vijay Singh is playing. I've always associated him with Colonial, probably because of the Sorenstam thing.

Only 2 of the top 10 are there yes, but you must remember Wentworth is this weekend which is the biggest event of the year for the Europeans so world #1,2,3 are all playing there which is no good for Colonial either :(

I think Kevin Na will have a good week

Dufner, Kuchar, Fowler is going to be a very interesting group to watch if you ask me :) All 3 players have been on fire the past couple weeks. Just wish the BMW PGA Championship wasnt going on this weekend as well. Should be an interesting tournament to say the least!

Its going to be very interesting to see how Kevin Na does now that he has "got rid of the waggle." He supposably cut his time per shot in half with his new pre-shot routine. My guess is hes going to do horrible since he is not fully comfortable with the new routine.

I hope Na has a good week too. I like him and he seems like a nice guy, just has mental problems

Don't forget about big JD, hes sitting at 2 under right now. I know most of this board hates him but I still got to root for him.

Na's Old Waggle - I refused to like him or root for him

Na's supposed new waggle - I respect him for the change and wish him the best.

I don't mind him. Dufner annoys me more than Na because sometimes Dufner (especially today) will just sit there for like an hour. Na will actually try to speed it up even though sometimes he fails.

Dufner isnt nearly as bad as Na was. Dufners more of 5 waggles and go. Na took that long pick out his line haha :)

There is just something about Dufner to me haha. But today Dufner took forever especially towards the end.

Really enjoyed watching the Kuchar, Duffner, Fowler group. Would have liked to see Kuchar play a little better, he's become my favorite over the past couple years. I followed him around on Sunday a couple years ago when he won at Turning Stone. You want a golf role model for your kids as far as attitude it's Matt Kuchar. Guy is always smiling and never blows his top when things get bad. Fowler is fun to watch as well as Dufner. Dufner's waggles are a bit quirky but that kid has a fantastic golf swing.

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.
    • I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.
    • Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again. 
    • Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.
    • I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
