he seems like he's got a lot of distance, but finesse can get the best of him down the stretch, hence the 74 and 75 finishes in his two European Tour wins.

Closing an event is never easy. Kaymer will mature and be able to do that in due course. Look at veterans like Cink who have a terrible record in closing out the win.

I don't know about you, but I'm still waiting for Scott vs. Garcia to finally materialize. You would think these two enormously talented players would learn to how to close the deal on a 2 foot putt much less an entire tournament! I watched Scott blow yet another crucial two footer yesterday in Scotland when he was still very much in the hunt, absolutely pathetic for the supposed 3rd ranked player in the world!

In regards to Kim and Kaymer, I think Kim has the goods to be an absolute superstar, and I'm still not sure if I could pick Kaymer out of a line-up at this point, but I've heard some great things about him. Will be interesting to see how those two progress in the coming years.

Kaymer and Kim have both won twice this season, I can honestly say Immelman does not ever look like he is a 2 win a season (on a regular basis)golfer.

Immelman was in a playoff in the st jude championship. That's pretty close to 2 wins. He doesn't strike me as a regular contender every week but I'm sure he could be a multiple event winner

In my opinion Scott versus Garcia is a no contest, the only thing they have in common is that they don't have a major. Garcia is 10 times the player Scott is. Scott gets into so many good positions after 3 rounds then just folds. I like him but just do think he's a run of the mill golfer who has benefitted in the Tiger era of massive prize money for top ten finishes more than actually winning events.

maybe that's what I'm trying to say.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
