Great final round by Bryson too, but he got unlucky with the day Rory decided to turn it to 11.

I know it's Arnold freaking Palmer, but I'd like to see a little more golf, and a little less "memories"...

Thank you, you two.  I do know that's how he has his irons, I don't think I would have come up with it without a major hint.

Another week, another great tourney finish. Stenson was very good all week but faded a little at the end and DeChambeau played really well all week; I was already a fan of Bryson because he is so unique, but I got more appreciation for how good he is this week. And then Rory just caught fire finishing 5 under the last 6, long time since we've seen him play at such a high level. Dan Hicks said "Maybe the best finish we've ever seen here at Bay Hill". Hard to argue with that.

-8 last 11. I would think so...

congrats for Rory, ....and Bryson Dechambeau must be doing some right thing (right swing maybe?) to become this far in relatively short time.

Heck of a round from Rory. I was thinking over the last 12 months that he was more or less done. Clearly I forgot that Rory is capable of looking mediocre for weeks/months on end only to turn around out of nowhere and look like the best player on the planet.

He might be the streakiest player ever. His "A" game is as good as anyone who has ever picked up a club, but he seems to lose it for various stretches...then finds it all of a sudden for a few months...loses it again, etc. But his timing is great here. He needs a green jacket for that career Grand Slam. He found a hot putter at just the right time to make a serious run at Augusta.

Man, how much fun was that final round? Had to watch most of it on my phone, unfortunately, because I told a friend I'd help lay out a hardwood floor, but it was still really dope! Tiger looked great, Rory burned the course down, and Bryson did Bryson things. 

I actually really like SLIG, even if I don't necessarily agree with his conclusions. He embraces tech and mechanics, and succeeds. 

No Tiger till the Masters, I'm sure. He and Rory going head to head on the back nine would be a nice way to start off the major season.

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
