What was the reason for Rich Beem's withdrawal, if any?

I think he had a finger injury.

I read that Beemer said he was fine. The worst part about him and Lyle bailing is the altenates who show up and don't get in. That sucks for them.

I'm sure that wasn't the first round he's played this week, so he should have known during his practice rounds that he wasn't going to do well. He should have pulled out before the start of Friday's round and let a willing alternate play. Very selfish of him imo.

If Tiger can play 91 holes on one leg, he should have at least finished the round with a couple tingly fingers. Pathetic excuse. R&A; should revoke his exemption.

I think it's a lack of respect for the Open. For an injury, that's understandable. But for weather? And it's not like they were the only two out there, all these other players were sticking it out in the SAME conditions. He at least should've finished the round.

That's just weak.

Work sucked this morning. From my morning drive till 2:00 pm everything went wrong and I just wanted to bail. I've got enough personal time that I could have easily taken off and gone golfing without anyone giving me a hard time. The only problem with that is people were counting on me to get certain things done before monday and they didn't deserve to have their schedules screwed up just because I had a rotten first half of my day. I take pride in the job that I do, you would think a professional golfer would do the same.

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
