I probably would have knocked him out or at least bitch slapped him! Not that I think Steve Sands meant any disrespect by it...it was just a really really dumb question. It reminded me of when Jay

[Ernie Els] won twice two years ago, no?

Yup, the only player to have more PGA wins than Ernie in 2010 was the POY, Jim Furyk. Both are over 40, and have fallen out of the top 60 in the world rankings. But for some reason, there are not a dozen posts a week saying they are washed up, and should give up the game. Sorry Ernie missed the playoff; I've always liked him. Was hoping for an Ernie-Goosen-Furyk playoff.

And Luke is #1 again. What a great shot he hit into the green on the playoff hole! Nice to see the top players playing well before Augusta.

Garrigus played the hole even better, but it all comes down to the putt. Cruel game.

Maybe because they've never publicly said when they could no longer be the best player in the game they'd retire. Or more likely it's because people thought they already had ;  )

When you can drive the ball 313 yards onto the fairway, it's easier to play that second shot. That guy is a beast.

But I'd say, Luke played the hole best - lowest score wins, and he even played fine shots doing it.

Anyone notice Luke's facial hair?

Seriously.

I'd be very interested to see a link where Tiger said that, as opposed to retiring when he was no longer able to win. Big difference. Besides, IMO it's way too soon to say he can't still be the best in the game. If Furyk can win POTY at 40, I'd say that nobody can be written off until he's at least 45.

Actually that's probably closer to what he said. Either way who cares really..

Oh Ernie...wow! I just watched the finish on DVR...that was pretty hard to watch. But I think his post round interview was even more painful to watch. Steve sands asks Ernie Els if he had the confidence to hit a 4 foot putt!!

It reminded me of when Jay Leno asked Michael Jordan if he could still dunk...but I think it was way more insulting. [VIDEO] [/VIDEO]

That's an interesting argument.  "If Furyk can win POTY at 40, then Tiger still has a shot."

If you're going to make a Tiger/Furyk comparison, here's one for you that I would say is more relevant:  one of them had a putt to win a tournament this year.  One of them didn't.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By StuM ·

      Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point.

      When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.

      Scottie & Rory on Wedge Game

      By saevel25 ·

      I liked Rory talking about keeping it shallow. I think a lot of people imagine steep as really steep. Trackman has a PW attack angle at 5 degrees. Pitch shots you probably want less than 5-degrees.  Here is 5 degrees, the dashed line. It isn't much at all.  People probably need to feel like the club is stupidly shallow if they hit it really steep.  Some good tidbits of information though.
