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.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      By GolfLug ·

      Imma throw a dart in the dark as no one can tell what is happening once every fourth iron shot per your OP. This might sound counterintuitive but if ball position is too far back in the stance folks are known to throw down clubhead steeply. Could be happening. And yes, @billchaois not wrong; clubhead tends to bottom out wherever your pressure is. So slide forward (not sway), then hit.

      Day 24: Missed my weekly round due to a last minute little league makeup game this morning. Managed to get in some backswing rehearsals while grilling sausages for dinner, and then putted around the office/laundry room after dinner.

      but I don't understand how that's possible you still want your head to stay back you don't want the upper body coming forward and plus I've tried feeling that and it made my fat shots worse and I then tend to pull and sky all my shots especially with driver because I get in front of it dont need force plates to see i finish on my left side
