My take is you're going to see a lot of him going forward. He looked pretty cool, calm and collected all through the tournament, as well as the playoff hole. This win gave him the memtal confidence that he can compete with the big guys.

Ice water in his veins.

Despite being British, I favoured Ernst to win the play-off, as he is obviously young and needs the success-----then I heard his "victory speech".  Oh, dear!!   Like many Americans, he attributed his win to "My Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ"!!!   I would have thought He would have more important things than helping Mr. Ernst win a golf tourney------methinks Mr. Ernst needs to reassess things, as it is highly unlikely he is favoured more than the other players on high!!

I shall not be rooting for him again.

Another P.C. snob

It's his right to thank whomever he wants. Good for him

I think it could go either way for him.  The guy is only 22- out of curiosity I wonder who is the youngest PGA Tour winner with only 1 career victory??

My guess is that the majority of guys who have won under the age of 25 went on to win at least 1 more time during their career.

Edit- the current answer might be John Huh who won at age 21 last year.  Jason Day whose only PGA win came in 2010 at age 22 could also be a contender, but it is hard to believe that Day, who won a NW event at 19 won't win again.  I guess a better question would be who is the youngest winner now over 40 with only 1 victory.

Thou shant?

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

    • 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.
    • 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.
