Right, that's why he finished runner-up in a playoff the last time this tournament was played here.

Jordan Spieth went to Catholic School and graduated from a prep school and has probably been a wonderkid in golf ever since his talents were recognized as a kid. Richard Sherman is from Compton

If it couldn't be Jordan and history, happy it was JDay. Not crazy about the emotion, however. Never see Phil, Rory, or Jordan weep at winning. I'm not a tough guy, I cry at movies, even some commercials but don't care for seeing it from major winners. Call it a personality flaw. Happy for him nonetheless.

The emotion's the best part of all of it for me.

And in fairness, Phil, Rory, and Jordan haven't had the life that Day has had.

Congratz to Jason Day.  What an awesome tournament and final round.  Very happy for him.  Definitely thought it would only be a matter of time.

Totally agree. I put 0 of this on Spieth.

+2.  It's like one of us saying, "nice putt," to someone we're playing with.

Can only assume you are referencing your own personality flaw....and not trying to say Jason Day has a personality flaw b/c he teared-up....that, of course, would be both ridiculous and illogical

Congrats Jason Day.....probably the best way to finish the majors' golf season........

And the amazing thing is being classy is more important than their skill level. Jason Day is also classy. Tiger... well I don't know.

Ha yeah it was hilarious actually. She got into the U.S. Open because it was in our city and she loved it. She watched the Brittish Open and then this tourney. Then as she was crying she goes "what am I doing? I didn't even care about golf until a few months ago!" Lol.

Jason Day got the trophy of major tourney at last. So happy for him. Congrats, Jason!

Also Spieth rocked as well. He got the world best position now and probably will go better in the future since he's still young.

Rory, seemed to need more time to cheer up. Overall the PGA was quite interested for me than any other tours.

This.

I seem to recall seeing a few replays of Phil demonstrating good sportsmanship during a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup.  I guess Devtron doesn't watch much golf.

The Sunday night after the PGA is always kinda sad because it's basically the end of golf season until really the California swing in February. Yeah, I know there's the Fed Ex Playoffs, Presidents Cup and offseason events, but with football season ramping up, I have a hard time really following it, as do a lot of fans out there. Not the same feel.

But I'm really looking forward to next year. I'm hoping Rory and Jordan can build a rivalry, I'm hoping Tiger can find it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how some of these young guns perform, such as Justin Thomas, Ollie Schneiderjans and Patrick Rodgers, all who I think could break out in a big way next year, along with Koepka and Finau. A lot to look forward to next year.

You will defiantly hear Patrick Rodgers name next year. I'm looking forward to seeing who takes the Fed Ex cup though. I got me some tickets to the BMW!

I'll be intrigued to see how much Rory dedicates himself to getting back to #1.

      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?
