+1....!

I watched the replay after leaving when they got to 17 ... whatafinish!

58 yards ... into the cup. Zach's putting seemed clutch through the final round.

TIger and his putting speed and reads ... if his read wasn't off by a minuscule amount, his speed was off.

35 putts on Saturday ... Sunday?

I thought that too.  That's one he never would have missed before. He's really looking comfy and nailing his fairway woods.  Not surprising that he'd want to shaft over to a similar shaf

I think Zach Johnson is poised to have a great year. He hasn't missed a cut since Merion, has top 10's in the last two Majors,  and he has gone from 31 to 9 in the WGR. And outplayng Tiger on Sunday can't hurt the psyche.

Zach blows hot and cold over his career ... it's little things ... I remember around 2009-10 or so, he held his putter so that the shaft leaned back, and it took 5 months for him to change it ... but over the last few years, he has showed up more consistently, so perhaps he is not as stubborn about changes now, and will have another great year.

At the risk of starting another Tiger controversy I believe Tiger just started "counting his chickens" too soon when Zach had to take a drop on 18.  Tiger was not expecting a playoff and never got in the "I'm in a playoff" state of mind.  As a result he got beat.  Kind of simple and has happened to a lot of players (usually in match play) but we just don't expect this from Tiger.  I won't argue this with anyone as not being a mind reader I can't prove this was the situation, but it is what I believe happened.

I think Tiger's state of mind was fine.  He saw Zach hole out and made a great up and down from the sand on 18 in regulation.

      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.
