So it's been a while. Lots of ups and downs with golf and personal life. My life as a playing professional has taken a backseat for now, and if you've been around here long enough you may remember rea

I think I can answer that. I did get pretty good. At my peak I'd say I was playing to a +2.5. Which, is enough to play a tour, any tour, the problem is getting there. Sam literally had to win QSchool

Round 1 and first things first. This bag was like nothing on my back. Maybe it was the excitement of our first round, the mystery of the unknown propelling both of us along today. It certainly wasn't

Ouch :-(

Sam Yi shot an opening round 90. I'm curious to know what happened...must have really been off his game.

:bugout: That's DFL by 8 strokes.....  2 doubles, a triple, and an 11 on the par-5 17th!  That'll leave a mark!

Well, all he's gotta do is shoot 54 today and he should be right in the middle of it! ;-)

These things can happen in a big event like that.  Hope he and Ben can keep their spirits up.

Bummer. Also a fan of Sam now.

Guan Tian Lang -1, T38, tied with Henrik Stenson, so he's still plugging away with the big boys I see.

Doh... The announcers are talking about Sam Yi and how he is 35 over par... Ouch. Hope he can recover from this.

He can recover, we've all been there, and part of the professional mentality is playing one shot at a time.

And he started with a birdie. Hope he files that away as a learning experience somehow. Pulling for ya, Sam.

Unfortunately, Sam never found the game he obviously had in the Q-School to make the OneAsia Tour (http://www.oneasia.asia/news/tournament-news/1038-yi-holds-nerve-to-win-top-q-school-ticket.html). I've looked for updates on his situation since the end of the season but can't find anything. Best of luck to you, Sam and Ben.  He did play in the Australian Open (the one Jordan Spieth won). Lots of MC's and WD's last year. :hmm:

All the delusional "I can be on tour" should take a look at this before they start a thread for themselves, at the very least it will make them take a more serious look at it.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
