I've never really seen Sergio hit the ball that bad. Sergio is a good ballstriker but I don't pick out "the best" on Tour type of stuff.

If only he could putt though, he's putting is really horrendous. He's my favorite player, but it kills me to know he never makes a clutch five footer.

I agree.

Regardless of his mental lapses that cause him to struggle with the putter at some of the most inopportune times, he is certainly one of the best ball strikers in the world.

I think all the haters discard his solid game because of his personality. Even I will say..his poor attitude with whining excuses is as costly to his winning total as his mental game on the greens sometimes..

But he's a good guy, I met him at Muirfield Village and he is really friendly and funny. He's had a few bad breaks, and has even had a couple majors stolen away from him by other players that just got red hot on the back nine on Sunday. But its difficult for anyone to honestly say he's not one of the best ball strikers...

You dont think Sergio is a good ballstriker?

Not any more than a slightly better than average PGA Tour pro.

He got the reputation because he had a good GIR year once and it's stuck ever since. Additionally, since he has so much lag, he hits his 4I 240 on occasion and people think that is good ball-striking too. He's over-rated as a driver of the golf ball, too. But bear in mind he's over-rated partly because he's rated so highly. He might still be an 8 out of 10 as a driver, but people seem to think he's a 9.8 or something. Congratulations to Ryan Moore.

I like Ryan Moores hell who cares attitude. Glad to see him pull one off, and hope he wins many more.

Sergio is way overrated. What has he really done other than the WCG last year. Mined you I,m a Sergio fan but he is way overdue to living up to his potential.

Re: his clothing...

Another intersting aspect of Moore's look is that it's logo-less. While he does have a glove and ball deal with Callaway, he is not currently endorsing clubs or other products that might require him to have patches or symbols on his hat, shirts or golf bag. Everything Moore is wearing these days—he says—has been paid for by him. Moore says he likes the logo-less look, but if he continues to play well, don't be surprised if a company or two don't try to buy their way into his graces.

Not any more than a slightly better than average PGA Tour pro.

Still, Sergio was first in scoring average last year with rather average putting stats, so he must be a very good "scoring" ball-striker?

Also Sergio (or maybe it was Paddy) said a while back that while Paddy is well-suited for short game, Sergio is naturally well-suited at long game, aka ballstriking.

I'm really glad for Ryan Moore and appreciate his beating to his own drum. I will say that after his first PGA tour win it wouldn't surprise me at all if some endorsement deals were soon to follow

Exactly right. Garcia won the Vardon trophy for the best scoring average on the PGA Tour last year. Sergio is a great ballstriker and he's obviously doing something right to have won 7 times and the The Players (under 30). He just needs to stay positive and hold his confidence on the greens and he will keep getting his chances.

People also forget he was but 19 years old when he dueled with Tiger and came in 2nd in the PGA. He's just so talented and been on Tour for years, seems like hes been out there for ages. I think Ryan Moore's win will definitely get him a view logos on the threads...He's on the PING staff correct?

He's on the PING staff correct?

I heard on the Golfchannel to that the only thing he is paid for is for playing Callaways ball. He uses Adam driver/fairway woods and older Ping S59 irons, so not really a lot that Ping would pay him for.

I will say that after his first PGA tour win it wouldn't surprise me at all if some endorsement deals were soon to follow

Its not that he didnt had offers - as i read in an interview, it was his own choice to go without endorsements. You can read the interview here:

http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/article/127460 . Personally i think thats a good attitude, it shifts the focus onto winning instead of trying to milk the cow as long and hard as possible.

I think this whole FedEx cup thing is very lame, but I have a q.
According to the FedEx cup web site, the top 30 go into the final event which is the tour championship, at which point the points are re set. I assume this means that all 30 players start the tournament tied at zero. Then it would seem that whoever wins the tournament, wins the FedEx cup. But the promo material on the web site suggests that some players have a better chance of winning than others (I assume based on past performance through the playoffs).
But if all the points are reset then does not each of the 30 players have an equal chance of winning the cup i.e. whoever wins the tour champinoship wins the cup. I'm confused.

Glad to see Ryan Moore win, too. I believe he's got the game and now that he's not dealing with a nagging wrist injury he could make a huge push in the playoffs.

As for Sergio and his ballstriking:
Sergio ranks 97th in GIR (64.98%), 80th in Total Driving, and T127 in Putts/GIR.

Basically, at least this year, he is a VASTLY overrated "ball-striker" and a pathetic putter.

And yes, I'm NOT a Garcia fan.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
