So far he has proven me wrong. He is hanging in there quite well, but we will see.

Proved you wrong all day. And before that I’m winning three majors and 12 PGA Tour events.

I have thought about this off and on the past two to three years.  We have the "no sixes" challenge (or, if your handicap is high enough, no sevens challenge).  My best round ever was my only no-sixes

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Yep, he did. Surprisingly, I'm usually not wrong.

I can't remember the last time a major champion, or any tournament winner, thanked their caddie in the speech at the end.  Other than a few minutes ago, of course.

Before today his 2019 to 2021 career was 11.8M.  So pretty close to 14 after today's tournament.

I see now. It used to be easier to get earnings on the PGA Tour site. It’s a couple of taps more to find it than when the site was less complicated.

Why is it wrong? Before the British Open it was $11,886,526.

British Open prize money $2.07 million. Thats about $13.95 million.

I was looking at an ESPN table that only went back two years. Should have checked PGA Tour but hate the website’s design. Not that ESPN is any better.

Unsurprisingly, you were proven dead wrong on this one. Seems to be a pattern. That in itself wouldn't normally bother me. But the fact that you feel the need to patronise Spieth is a bit off. He did everything you said he couldn't do, but you said he was "hanging in".

The PGATour.com one is probably better :-)

I think it happens pretty much all the time. Lowry, for example.

The PGA Tour used to have a very nice and easy to use website.  I think this was back when Elin was married to Tiger.

Good point.   I don't remember that one, but in retrospect, you are right, it should happen all the time.

I'm not sure if Hideki Matsuyama thanked his caddy but his caddy thanked the course!

Yeah, that was pretty cool too :-)

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
