Regardless of his score, and I'm impressed, his presence in the tournament created a lot of positive awareness for the web.com tour.   It was good for golf.

Yeah… People that get upset about sponsor's exemptions should almost always shut up. They're SPONSOR's EXEMPTIONS. They exist to boost publicity. The sponsor is, you know, sponsoring the event, s

Seems to me that sponsor's exemptions fall into one of three categories: 1. Local phenoms 2. Low-handicap celebrities 3. John Daly

I don't know how you could quantify that.  He's good, but there are plenty out there just as good...

Just a few examples from 2 weeks ago.

I see, lots of good players, but aren't those guys in the top 10 retired? Curry's still active, he just signed a 5 year contract, no? I make the distinction because doing both at the same time is harder.

Still plenty of good guys right up there with him.  Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo.

Likely a bunch that we don't even know.  I don't necessarily agree that "doing both is harder".  Like Curry, the vast majority of scratch golfers have a day job.  Most work it more than 6 months out if the year too.... ;-)

This is off topic but I wonder if today's athletes are better at golf than their predecessors. Mardy Fish vs Lendl. Curry vs Jordan. Guessing better instruction.

Also watching a player with minimal logos on clothing and equipment, kind of nice not being subtle-bombarded with corporation marketing.

Hey, Curry shot 74-74 in the first two rounds on a pro track off the pro tees. Good for him! God knows what I would have shot, even back in the day when I could play a little bit!

Nay nay.

Not only is he worse than Rodgers in golf as in football, but he's also, gasp, slow!!
