Great  finish with Akshay Bhatia coming  from way behind to win his  first Championship. Was fun to watch someone  come from way behind to win. 

Same dumb schtick since joining.

He was only three Stableford points back after 54 holes, and didn't even win outright: he tied Patrick Rodgers and went to a playoff.

It's his first PGA Tour win, but these alternate field events are glorified KFT wins, and he had one of those already, too.

But  he was well behind after the front  9. It still counts as a win and  in this case a really  big win.

He was six points back. Rodgers had +6 points, he had +3 after starting the day 3 back. He only shot -3 on the back nine. Rodgers managed only a +1. I'd put this in the "Rodgers collapsed" category more than the "Akshay blitzed him" category.

I'm sure you didn't watch any of the British Open since the winning score there was even lower than the super-easy U.S. Open. I'm glad you enjoyed the Barracuda.

Akshay shouldn't get a two-year exemption for this one IMO, but whatever.

I turned  it  on and saw Harman wasnt  collapsing and turned  it  off.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
