Wow. An act? You're right he should be stone face when he hits a bad shot in such a high pressure enviroment. You sound like grumpy old grandpa waving his cane right now "these young whippersnappers with their attitudes!"

"God I hate this tee shot." "This hole is so stupid!!" You are right, great mature attitude right there. How about swinging his putter aound like a mallet after missing a putt? Seems like a perfect example of how to handle yourself.

Kuchar is always dropping jeepers bombs and oh-Mattie's.

He didn't say he had a great mature attitude. He said that he's 21 years old and acts like, well, a 21 year old kid. If he bit his tongue and pretended to be happy with bad shots, you'd like him more? Even though that would clearly be more of an "act?" Weird.

Oh come off it already. More than half the tour does it as does everyone else I see on the course when I go play. Get off Jordans back about it and claiming he is this horrible bad person who puts on a show when you don't know the first thing about him. You really sound like a grumpy grumbly old man just bashing all the great young talents of the game

Anyone watch Wimbledon this morning? Two of the greatest players that ever lived, and Federer considered the classiest player to ever play the game, and they were both throwing tantrums out there on bad shots from time to time. It happens when you're an emotional player, unless you're a Stewart Cink or Retief Goosen who put you to sleep. Even Phil gets whiny out there a lot and he's 45.

So age is the only reason he gets a pass for his bad attitude?! I don't think that really applies, but Ok I will play along. When is it no longer acceptable?! 25? 30? Seems pretty arbitrary to me.

And you do know him personally to say otherwise? I simply asked why he gets a pass and you are the one acting up over it. I see why you like him. All the young talents?! I didn't know Jordan was the only one...

Ok thanks. That could end up costing him a lot of money in the end. How could he not know that, or his caddie?

It looks like it might cost him the championship!

Does Novak have a reputation for being a polite mature kid? And it's too bad he didn't fully rip his shirt!

Wow calm down bud. You're the one getting hot collared about it. I'm just simply stating my opinion. You're free to feel however you want. If you don't like him, so be it. I just happen to like players who aren't afraid to show their emotion. But that's me.

I should confess the main reason I like him is because I put a few bucks on him at Augusta and Chambers Bay and he thickened my bank account some :) haha Rickie will be my new favorite player if he wins at St Andrews

you think it's more arbitrary in his 20's than in his teens? At some point even you would acknowledge that immaturity is normal right? So when do you think is an unarbitrary transition? 12? 15? 19? That said, it's actually not the only reason nobody cares ... The other reason is what Chris just said - they all do it. Except for maybe Matt Kuchar, they all get frustrated occasionally and it's cuz they're humans.

Now that's a good reason! Haha and I legitimately wondered why he does get a pass. I guess the answer is his age. I'll leave it at that.

Immaturity is expected when you are a kid. Jordan has been on tour for years now. Time to grow up.

Doesn't matter how long he's been on tour ... He's still a 21 Year old kid.

So again I ask. When does his behavior become unacceptable?

      I have won the net division of the 2024 William Anderson Match Play Championships at Neshanic Valley Golf Course.

      I won the net division of the match play tournament. Yesterday was the semifinals and my opponent conceded the round to me on the 2nd hole because he knew he would be unavailable for the final today. I got lucky there and got a bye into the finals. We did end up playing our match as an exhibition and I would have lost. It was the worst round of the tournament for me and I think knowing that the match didn't matter might have been a factor. I'll write up a blog post about the whole experience at some point. Today I won, 3&1. My opponent and I halved the first three holes much to his credit. I was striping it and he just kept scrambling and hanging in there. We both blew up on the par 3 4th hole but I ended up taking that one by holing an 8-footer for double bogey. I went up 2 after he put two in the penalty area on #5 and promptly gave that hole back by putting my tee shot into the penalty area on #6 by a foot. It's important to note that most of the penalty areas on this course are deemed environmentally sensitive areas and we are not allowed to enter or play shots out of them. So even though I physically was able to play a shot from where I was on #6, I could not, by rule. I followed that by winning #7, making a 25' birdie putt and finished the front 9 3 up after he had some bunker trouble on #9. I went up 4 by winning #11 (we both sucked on that hole but he missed the putt to halve). On #12 we both hit the green with our tee shots. He hit his first putt past the hole and I lagged mine inside of 4' with an uphill putt for par. His putt for par was too long again, just inside of mine but definitely outside of gimme range. I gave him that one for bogey. I felt at the time, being 4 up, that I didn't want to win the hole because he ends up missing a 3-footer and fourputted or something. I wanted to win the hole by making my par putt. I did not. He probably would have made the putt anyway (he's not me after all, and he made everything in that range all day) but it seemed like the sporting thing to do at the time. He was genuinely surprised I gave it to him, butI felt good about it. Then it almost bit me in the ass as he started to mount a comeback. We halved #13 after he made a great up & down and he took #14 with a long par putt. He also won #15 with a 5' birdie putt. We halved #16 with a pair of bogeys after he put his tee shot in the water and I missed a 4-footer for the win. We got to #17 and I was still 2 up. He hit his tee shot just off the back of the green to an extended apron area short of the back bunker and I put mine on the green pin high but 30' away. He was actually closer so I played first and hit it within a foot for par. He didn't hole out for birdie which sealed the match and ended up making bogey on the hole. With the pressure off, we both played the par 5 #18 well. He played it as a three shot hole like a normal person and hit it to 8' and two-putted for par. I striped my drive and ended up with a downhill lie to an uphill approach like 180 yards out and gave myself the green light to go for it in two. Thin hooked it into thick rough to the left of the green with a bunker in between and hit a high flop to 4', probably my best shot of the day. Made the birdie putt.
