Once again, Tommy finds himself in a position to win. If nerves is an issue, playing in the last group on Sunday at the Tour Championship may not help. There’s of course tough competition here, but it’ll be interesting to see how he gets on today.

Speaking of which, here is a look at Tommy Fleetwood’s PGA Tour trophy case:

I agree that the OWGR shouldn’t award points for finishing last. They may want to rework distribution in limited field events.

And the jinx is broken!  Good win for Tommy.

Welp, if he keeps showing up then one of these days he is going to mishit one and accidentally hole it for a change. Sometimes fortune favors the fortunate.

On a passing note, the tee shot on the 220 yard hole (I think 15th or 16th) over water looks terrifying. Talk about a swing hole.

Meh. He won a very limited field event. I'm still going with "overrated."

Tommy wasn't about to six-putt it from there to throw it away, was he?

Let's look back in a year or two to see if this was a random peak or the beginning of something.  I am guessing it's the former, but we'll see.

Well we gotta give credit where it's due. Lesser people have won more. We can't move the goal post!!

I don't care if he beat his college buddies in a putt-putt game. Baby bro finally manned up!! Woo-hoo!!

I seriously thought he was going to lose the tournament when others were within a stroke of him….had another event to be at as they were headed to 14…so I did not see the finish…. I’m glad for him, even though it was a limited field event.  The question remains - how does he fare with a full field event?

I'm going to suggest that he's not "overrated" because I don't think people really rate him that high. 

Most of the average golfing folks I talk to never mention him. If they do it's simply to say something like he's a good bet for top-20, but he can't seem to close out tourneys. ... Which I kind of feel is accurate. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

What a first win to get! Imagine if Tommy announces he’s gonna ‘take a break for awhile’ 😂

Way to go Tommy. You have been so close so many times. You are a Pure class act.

A great role model.

I wish I had a game as good as yours.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
