Too bad we're not doing a podcast this week or we'd have to give him credit.

Great win for Davis. I still like to watch him play. Nothing against Tiger or Tigermania, but I miss seeing much of Davis, Freddy, et al, when the networks decided to focus a laser on Tiger for the entire 18.

Did anyone else have that feeling that DLIII was going to throw the tournament away? I kinda did, but he played very well over the weekend to snag the win. I'm very happy for him, and I hope it springboards him into 2007 with a flurry.

It was nice to see my three favorites finish high as well (Howell III, Moore, and Mahah). I was actually pretty into this tournament. Sometimes it's nice to like the small guys.

During the middle of the coverage yesterday they were saying that Ryan Moore could be the guy take down Tiger, seems to me everything someone mentions taking down Tiger they get the NFL Madden curse. Although, I would like to see Moore finish a tournament as strong as he starts one. Any news if he will get that sugary after the season or play through it intill it hurts him for good?

Yeah, that's one of the reasons all these young Americans are struggling. Everyone is trying to put the label of "next Tiger" on them, and that's unfair. Charles Howell III and Ryan Moore have had that label now. Moore has had a little trouble on the weekend as of late, although a final-round 69 or 70 isn't too bad.

I'm not sure about the surgery, but he definitely needs to have it. The TV announcers were acting like it was his regular style the other day. When I was watching, they didn't even inform the audience that it was due to his wrist injury. I usually don't get down on the commentators, but they do need to know their facts.

The "next Tiger" may come along in 30 years. I personally won't pin that name on anyone for at least that long*.

* Never say never, so I'm leaving myself an out. But it's like 99.99999% likely what I said is going to be true.

I agree completely, and that's why it's unfair to guys like Howell III and Moore. I'd be surprised if either wins four or five majors in their career, much less 20.

I believe it will be more than 30 years before we see the next Tiger-esque golfer on this planet. And I apologize to DLIII for taking his topic out of whack a little. Congrats again Davis!!

I was so happy to see Davis get the monkey off his back...and yes Cody, I still had thoughts that DLIII might throw the tournament away. Erik even called me and asked that very question.

I think he felt at ease at Forest Oaks...heck, he knows every bump on every green, so he didn't have any excuses. Davis did hit the ball really, really well though and didn't put himself in the position to screw up.

Great job Davis. You're still in my top 5 now.

Fairways and Greens.

Dave, I'm not sure if you hate Michelle more than I can't stand Davis L3.

I don't hate Michelle. I actually root for her...in LPGA events. I understand why they give her sponsors exemptions, but I think she needs to win some on the LPGA Tour (that is, if the idiots would grant her membership).

Now, back to topic. Davis rubs a lot of people the wrong way because he seems aloof out there, but I liken that to how Tiger acts on the golf course. I'm not crazy that Davis is a Tar Heel (go Duke!) but I still pull for him every week he's in the field.

Fairways and Greens.

DL III strikes me as a sportsman, a likeable guy, and a consistent contender for a lot of years. I get the impression that he's very likeable.

The people I have a tough time with are guys like Stephen Ames. He holds media and everyone else in contempt. At least thats how it seems. Sabbatini deserved the boos he got for playing ahead of Ben Crane. Slow or not.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.

      So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!

      Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.
