2012 Wells Fargo Championship Discussion Thread

I should call Rickie poorly-dressed every week. Congratulations.

[Yukari]

I have to agree.  But I think it's more like >95% mental than anything else.

Unless he gets his head straightened out, I am beginning to doubt he'll even contend regularly anymore.

I hope he proves me wrong.

Great win by Fowler... great approach!

pretty sure you are right about the mow line

[Yukari]

That's twice Ricky won at Rory's expense....

Could be an interesting trend?

Finally, a victory for the House of Orange.

Mccilroy absolutely blasts the ball he hit his 3 wood fourther then fowlers drive it was very impressive

Gotta be steroids. :-) Seriously, I'm about ready to jump on the Rory bandwagon. He's only had one bad week since last summer, and the power he showed this week was impressive, to say the least.

A few thoughts......

1.  Congrats to Ricky Fowler....very well deserved.....a bad week for the haters (especially those that don't really "recognize" his win in Asia -- it ain't all about the PGA tour folks)

2.  I think it is obviousl that Rory is -- and has been for some time -- the best player in the world.......but I am not quite certain he has the nerve that Tiger did in his early days

3.  Gutty, gutty performance by DA Points...tough to let one slip away on 18

Absolutely has the potential to become an interesting story. Great to see Ricky Fowler bag his second victory.

A solid W for Fowler. Glad to see him get that monkey off his back.

[TourSpoon]

I am glad to see Ricky finally get one. I am sure the guys at Cobra are breathing easier. Ricky could put them back on the map.

Haha yeah they were probably his biggest fans this week.

Let's hope his charming girlfriend talks him into getting a proper haircut, now that he's gone bigtime.

[k-troop]

Is 2012 the year of the mustache?

What does solid mean in case of play-off win?

[inthehole]

Uh, like Rory ?       Rory was looking sharp with his new tight haircut ... Fowler, no chance.

Awesome 2nd shot and putt by Fowler during the playoff.  I kept waiting for him to tail off but he stuck with the leaders and showed he has the mental strength to win at the end.  Great victory for Fowler and golf even if I don't like the way he dresses.

What I liked about the playoff is that the announcers were raving about McIlroy's length, 3 wood going past drivers, but the longest drive didn't yield the winning score.

Yeah, I'm a little biased, I'm not long and of course announcers play up length to get ratings.

Is it a porn stache or is it a Mario stache? It's a PornMario stache! Stop it. Don't visualize. Don't visualize.

And did anyone get the bit where Faldo was talking about McIlroy's hips open so and so degrees compared to other players ? I didn't get all of it, I had the volume turned way down. Any merit to the numbers he was quoting?
