He really won the playoff on his second shot from the rough.  He put the ball as close to the hole as he could without putting himself in a hazard or rough.  Walker pushed his second shot and had a tough like in the rough.

Yeah, Walker's 2nd shot went into the grandstand.  It was like, wow, the nerves really are getting to him.  It was interesting how they kept saying how Walker's natural draw shot plays well for the hole and he just continually flubbed it.

Seems like Jimmy needs to invest in a mental coach b/c that was brutal to watch.

It's funny, when they were talking about Patrick Reed after the tournament on GC, they were saying how he was fearless, how he does what he wants without regard to how it's taken, and how refreshing it is to have someone on tour who speaks his mind without concern for the repercussions or others.

It seemed to me that that's what one would say about another person who they think would be a d!ck.

Walker struggled to close the deal at ATT Pro-am at Pebble Beach last year as well. He definitely feels the nerve. It's interesting how these guys go on automatic mode all through the 14th-15th hole, and then the nerves just set in around the 16th hole.

The nerves are one of the reasons I love this game. Pros feel it, amateurs feel it. They have a million reasons to be nervous, I have $20 on the line. Same thing. :whistle:

Haha.  Winner = Refreshing.  Loser = Dick.  Gotta love journalists.

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive...

I agree with the GC commentators, I think it's refreshing.

As Adam Carolla might say, "Patrick's Patrick."

By no means do I think they're mutually exclusive.  My commentary was more along the lines of what @Gboroman posted:

Congrats to Patrick on his 4th PGA win!

It was a great win.

Just wondering.  Related?

Right ... I'd also remind people that speaking your mind and being a dick aren't mutually INclusive either.

People are glomming onto ONE interview way to much which this guy, IMO, when in reality he seems like a pretty decent guy and somebody I like to root for.  When they interviewed him yesterday after his round, he was nothing but polite and gracious even while "knowing" he blew the tournament by missing a 4 footer on 17.

And based on the interactions with Jimmy Walker immediately thereafter and on the tee of the playoff, its pretty clear he doesn't think Reed's a dick.

I'm happy he won and will continue to root for him.

Agree, people seem to really like to chew on that bone (top 5 comment). I had fun trashing him a bit right after it happened, but seriously, c'mon... First of all, the comment was taken out of context and wasn't (IMO) what he actually meant. As Americans I would think you guys would be ecstatic to have someone like this come up the ranks and inject some life into your RC teams.

From what I seen, I get the impression that most of his colleagues like him judging by the good natured ribbing he gets.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Nope, he's likeable, and doing MUCH better in interviews and he is a good golfer

but, the top 5 quote is going to be good mockery for years and decades to come

welcome to the real world

I see Patrick a lot out in the Woodlands practicing and playing. He's a good guy, very confidant and kinda plays with a chip on his shoulder. Which I think is a pretty good thing

it seems to drive him to be good and get better. I expect him to win about 3 times this yr and hopefully get himself in contention in a couple majors.

Yeah, I think it's great mockery if done in fun, but I just think its unfair for people to extrapolate from that to "he's a dick."

Although, I think the mockery may diminish quite a bit if he continues on his current pace and actually approaches or becomes a Top 5 player. ;)

Patrick Reed was ranked #3 in FedEx Cup points right after his WGC win.  So, in that respect, he was top 5, at least for a short while.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
