Followed one of the four who made it - Jim Herman, a lanky, seemingly quirky guy. Played great US Open type golf, fairways and greens.

Saw his playing partner cold shank a wedge from the dead center of the fairway. Short and big push cut, but he did hole out for an eagle on a par 3.

Also saw one of the qualifiers top an mid-iron 20 feet on the range. I don't think I ever saw anyone top a ball while practicing in all the pro tournaments I've watched.

The 14-year-old (!!) Andy Zhang lost in a playoff. How crazy good is that kid?

Sabbatini and Levin both failed to qualify today. Not a great last couple of days for them.

Levin can still play his way into the Open. He's ranked 61st in the world this week, and any player ranked within the top 60 after this weekend gains entry into Olympic. Levin will be playing in Memphis, and he'll be playing in the Open with a good result.

Why do so many strong players try and qualify in Ohio? If I wanted to qualify, I'd make an effort not to play there, no?

The Memorial ends the day before so the players don't have to travel and there are more spots, 16 guys qualified at Scioto

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
