hahaha, I share your pain on that some weeks.

To be honest I think Luke Donald will turn it around before Westwood does.

I also wonder what will happen to Poulter and the Ryder Cup team if he continues with this foul play.

Poulter had a strong finish to last year, I don't think he is in a long term slump like Donald or Westwood.

But lets face it he could miss all the cuts between now and September and he'd still get a captain's pick and he'd still be the most feared player on the European team.

How would you do it?

To award less points, you'd be saying that they finished significantly lower in a tournament than they "did." Should winning two matches be the equivalent of making the cut in a regular PGA Tour event?


I don't have THE answer - but to award T33 points for playing one match play round and losing, and T17 points for winning one match seems to me like getting candy on Halloween. Those points are worth money - as in getting invites to future WGC events, and majors.

Rickie is a great example - placed 3rd and jumped from 56 to 38, more points than a 4th in a major & locking him into the next WGC Doral in a couple of weeks

And using Spieth as another example - he won 3 matches and gets more points for that than for T4 at AT&T; Pebble.

I just seems "generous" to me....but then I think these events should be called the "Rich getting Richer".

Players play, tough players win!

    • I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.
    • Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV. 
    • It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.
    • Tell me you've not seen Bill play without telling me you've not seen Bill play? 😄 Just teasing @billchao. 😄 
    • And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
