Terrific for my fantasy golf, yes!

Real nice finish to the tournament 

[dennyjones]

That was one of the most exhilarating finishes I've seen in golf.   The last par 3, both shots were amazing.

Unfortunately it will fuel the damn ‘ drive for show’ folks. Ignoring the approach shots.

How so? The big bomber lost.

Right. Drive for show putt for dough. We all know that’s bogus but in this case the bomber lost. Those who still believe putting is the most important will ignore how important the approach shots were.

Cantlay was clutch on more than one occasion. He kept his nerve coming down the stretch and hung tough while BDC could finish him off. Great SDPO.

With the win Cantlay snuck into the 6th spot for automatic Ryder Cup pick. This is big as that is one less decision for Stricker to make. Without the win not sure he would have been chosen.

The mirth with which I was filled watching BDC lose....

Yep, it's amazing how the announcers continue to gasp about the iron Bryson picks for the distance. Yes, it's a 9 iron, but it has a 6-iron shaft in it. You will not hit it as long as Bryson, but you will be surprised as to how long and high it flies for you. Can't compare his 9-iron to a "normal" length 9-iron.

I’m not sure I could hit a 46* lofted club 186yds even if it were as long as driver…😳

As the old joke goes… you could from a greenside bunker.

What a duel!!!!   Its got to be mentally challenging to watch your opponent drain putts from all over the place.  Cantlay stuck to his game and never backed down.  Hats off to both of them for putting on a great show.
