Duval is still a 'big dog' in my opinion. He's got a few bucks in the bank, but in a few years time he may become short of money as i do not know what else he does to keep the money coming in and to keep him in the life that he's become accustomed to. Bob Duval is arguably a better player than DD in the scheme of things. DD prefers to hide away in his mansion in Denver, Colorado- when it snows in the winter i hope its not like The Shining at his place..lol.

He's not a PGA Tour player. Do you have anyone in mind who is?

Not to split hairs, but the question is Most Overrated PGA Players, not PGA Tour Players. Monty is on the European PGA Tour. Thus he is technically a PGA player. I, however, am one that thinks he is no longer overrated. I don't think too many people think of him as one of the best in the world anymore as he is only 41st on the Order of Merit. He was one of the greats in his prime. He won 8 Order of Merits and 31 European Tour titles. He is just no longer in his prime.

I was actually pulling for him in the 2006 US Open. He had the game in his prime to win a major. I thought it would be a nice way to cap a very good career. I also tend to pull for the Scottish players since my Grandmother was born in Abberdean. http://www.europeanpgatour.com/

I was trying, very hard, to head off another Monty-bashing session, which could have turned ugly. The others all have.

I think you're splitting hairs. Please, please agree... And just a small correction - it's the PGA European Tour, not the other way round. Anyway, I've decided that Chad Campbell gets my vote. Promised much, achieved little and he has that moony face. Probably absolutely charming but, from 3000 miles away, I don't like the look of him..

It may have been a few hairs, but I would much rather cheer for Monty than Sergio. I do think he has tried to warm up to the US fans. His blast about the Masters won't help matters though.

Correction noted. I actually knew that but didn't want to go all golf snob in my post. I figured quoting his win totals was good enough. I agree with you on Campbell. I think he is another one that people kept waiting for. He may still reach his peak, but I don't think he had lived up to his quick start.

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
