Luke Donald for sure. He's been on fire for this entire tournament and I don't think Kaymer's going to be able to top that.

It's a tough one, both players are solid and pretty consistent. Neither seems to have any problem with confidence or nerves either. Donald won his matches pretty confidently, he's also got a slight advantage in age and experience. Kaymer is probably overall a better player, but Donald is really good, even with his distance being shorter than the best. Fabulous iron player.

6 and 5 vs Hoffman

2 and 1 vs E Molinari

3 and 2 vs Mannasero

5 and 4 vs Moore

6 and 5 vs Kuchar

Kaymer:

7 and 6 vs Noh

20 holes vs Rose

2 and 1 vs Mahan

1 up vs Jimenez

1 up vs Watson

Well done Luke! Like his game and attitude and the guy played out of his socks all week.

Luke is a Brit, but he's now been a US resident for years, and plays full time on the US PGA Tour, so he doesn't quite fit in as a European player.  He's more of an American player with a funny accent.

He was amazing.  He never trailed in a match, and never saw the 18th hole.  One of the better week long performances I've ever seen.

Let's see if they pick him for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, then.  (I'm joking, for those who think that Fourputt was serious.)

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

    • Birdied #13 at Quail Brook, which is new. Blocked tee shot right which ended up being fine because I didn't hit it well enough to reach the fescue. Had 110 to the flag and was ready to hit a 3/4 GW to it (even tagged the club) but felt the wind pick up behind me so I decided to club down to the SW and hit it to 4'. Lipped out a 15-footer on #17 for birdie for a tap-in par that also would have been new.
    • I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.
    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
