He goes into it on a high note with a win, instead of just thinking about how he blew the US open. Definitely helps him...also proves that he can play the kind of golf that will be needed next weekend.

Ding ding ding!!!! :-P

Who thinks the Scottish Open win didn't help him much now eh? Great back-to-back victories and that 66 today was astonishingly good.

Silliest sentence in the history of TheSandtrap.com, and not because Phil won.

It's an insult to:

Phil.

Grace.

The Scottish Open

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

I missed this until just now, but IIRC, Phil won at Houston once the week before winning Augusta.  For many players, any win is a big deal to them and may mean an emotional let down the next week, but Phil likes to play the week before a major as prep for the major, so, based on what happened today, it is clear that it was a lead up for him, not a mental peak.

Other than maybe Tiger and Phil, I can't think of too many guys who have won consecutive weeks on the PGA Tour.  (Villegas won the BMW and Tour Champ consecutively in 2008, but had a week off in between).  I think being in contention take as mental toll for most and there is a natural let down after winning.

How can I give myself a reputation point? Lol, he tore the back nine up!

You are clearly a future guessing genius. :)

      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.
