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.

      So you're basically saying you get three mulligans to use on every hole, and you can use them on any shot until you're out of mulligans? Do I have that right?

      By iacas ·

      No, @StuM, it's too early for that. Everyone, please DM @StuM with your GHIN #. If you do not have a GHIN #, message Stu (and include me) to explain. Thank you. We'll lock handicaps (so @StuM can create some charts for the playing handicaps) on… the end of the day May 28. That'll give @StuM the 29th and 30th to look them up and plug them into a spreadsheet.

      The Pro Tours Random Thoughts and Musings Thread

      This  is  certainly  one reason golf ratings are  plummeting Golf’s moment of truth is here, and the sport is badly flailing Nonexistent negotiations and missed opportunities for reconciliation between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf have the sport stuck in place. "Golf’s moment of truth is here, and the sport is badly flailing. Half the sport’s best or most notable players play on one tour, half on the other. They all only come together at the four majors — the next one, the PGA Championship, tees off next week — and then spiral off into their own tournaments, cashing massive checks in front of rapidly dwindling audiences."   Here  is another reason. Xander Schauffele hit an unplayable shot  on his  last  hole but  instead  of taking a  penalty  he and the  idiot  official decided some  cable was  in the way(it wasnt) and  he  got to get a free  placement  of  his  ball with a  clear shot to the green. Soft players and enabling  officials are  helping  tank ratings. If  i were the  official it  would  be  take a penalty  or  hit it where  it  lies.
