A reputation is almost never changed by a single act, and this will very likely be the same.  My only direct experience with Kevin Na came while I was a marshal at the 2014 US Open at Pinehurst.  Na hit a ball way left on the par-3 sixth hole, where I was on the ropes.  Facing a difficult pitch off the sand path, under the branches of a small tree, over a steep-faced bunker, he pretty quickly assessed the situation and hit an amazing shot into the sliver of grass above the bunker, bumping the ball onto the green.  He was not only quick and decisive, but he and his caddie thanked me and some of the spectators for helping take down and replace the ropes.  I was pretty impressed all the way around.  

He's made a nice (and improbable) comeback from full-swing yips. It's not surprising that he played just fine at that pace. He said he did his full routine on each shot (but possibly backed off less), though he ran in between each shot and between holes.

Watching him run in at the end of the round was really great and fun to watch. Good for him.

Agree completely

Carry on my wayward drive

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
