Adam Scott enters the week at #1 in the world

http://www.pgatour.com/tour-insider/2014/05/21/adam-scott-world-no-1-crowne-plaza.html

Quote:

Is Adam Scott the best player in the world?

A better way to put it is to ask who has been better during the last two years? Besides, someone has to be No. 1.

Sure, Tiger Woods had more wins last year with five (albeit none in a major). Jimmy Walker leads the FedExCup standings with three wins since October (again, none in a major). But when it comes to getting to No. 1, playing big in big tournaments is what gets rewarded.

Scott certainly did that on his way to replacing Tiger Woods atop the Official World Golf Rankings earlier this week -- even if he did it while sitting on the couch.

The Aussie won last year’s Masters, was third at The Open Championship and fifth at the PGA Championship. He also closed out 2013 with a pair of wins Down Under -- weaker fields, but with the added pressure of wanting to play well in a rare appearance in his home country.

Yes, Scott is 0-for-2014 in the wins department but hasn’t been without opportunity, most notably at Bay Hill and Augusta National, where opportunities slipped away on the weekend.

In seven starts on the PGA TOUR this year, Scott has three top 10s. His worst finish was a tie for 38th at THE PLAYERS Championship. Outside of that, he has just one finish outside the top 15.

The guy he replaced also hasn’t played a tournament in more than two months, and even before being sidelined by back surgery was off to the worst start of any season of his career.

"You want to do it playing well and getting good results,” Scott said recently of getting to No. 1. “But it's just the way our system is.”

I hope so, been waiting patiently for him to break through. He's currently on my fantasy team bench for this week.

I really don't understand the world rankings and disregard them for the most part.

Man, Dufner certainly has been showing a bad temper lately. The term "Dufnering" is soon going to be synonymous with throwing your club at your bag.

What happened to Rickie??

He sure needs gods help on that round. He had two triple bogey's. OUCH!!

Maybe he got a pinched nerve in his back when he and Bubba were flipping from their hotel rooms into the pool.

Adam (tied for 77).... - you need to pick up the pace here - you know, start your signature "last couple of rounds are great" thing sooner.  ( It's still early, but Henrik is doing what he needs to do so far)

So Stenson (tied for 4th) will pass Scott and become No. 1 in the world if he wins and the Aussie doesn't.

-- Stenson finishes fourth and Scott is fifth or worse

-- Stenson finishes sixth and Scott is 10th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 12th and Scott is 20th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 15th and Scott is 30th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 17th and Scott is 40th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 19th and Scott is 50th or worse

-- Stenson finishes 29th and Scott is 53rd or worse (winning zero points)

I'm not sure where the same breakdown lies for Kuch (tied for 83), but it's likely similar?

I've never heard of this Brice Garnett guy; he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. Knowing how this season has gone, my guess is he'll win by six strokes.

Yeah and Stenson's T3 right now at Wentworth, so i'd be surprised if he's not number one come monday [quote name="Chilli Dipper" url="/t/74728/2014-crowne-plaza-invitational-at-colonial-discussion-thread#post_993623"]I've never heard of this Brice Garnett guy; he doesn't even have a Wikipedia page.

it's early yet

I like both these players (as well as) so there's no outcome here for #1 that I wouldn't cheer on

Apparently Kuchar can take World #1 if he wins and Scott finishes out of the top 3. GO KUCH!

Mother of God. Another week with no namers in the lead. Brice Garnett, Chris Stroud, and Robert Streb 1-2-3. Wtf? You know its bad when Chris Stroud is the "big" name in that top 3. Here's hoping DJ somehow wins this so golf doesnt projectile vomit any longer.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
