How is this guy leading the HSBC so large?

[BaconNEggs]

There are lots of professional athletes who look way worse than Aphibarnrat. 

The thing is, they're way better athletes than you. They're faster, stronger, and more agile. They're called linemen and they play football. 

Don't judge a book by its cover.

You ever check the ratings and the popularity of golf lately?

Yeah, and it has absolutely screw-all to do with Aphibarnrat-- who is one player, one totally unknown to most casual golf fans-- or his physical shape. You won't be able to find one shred of evidence that suggests otherwise.

I have to think that Urkel would not have been a Nicklaus fan in the early days!

Urkel - you'd better get use to seeing Kiradech. As he rose to #29 in the OWRG last week, leading him to withdraw from this weeks event to ensure his invitation to the Masters. I think it is a smart move, but it is kinda sad that he withdrew from an event in his home country to protect his spot.

OP didn't say you can't be good at golf with a gut. He hinted at it being a poor representation of the tour, himself, the sport or whatever, and that all the physical exercise one gets through golf should prevent you from becoming "large". If it doesn't, you are eating too much. The fact he was leading a tournament seems to be coincidental. Doesn't have much to do with golf really. Thread could've been called "Why are people fat?".

 

Not that this makes this thread any better, but I see a lot of replies pointing out that some larger individuals are good at golf.
