I don't know anything about her personally.

Her reputation isn’t very good inside the golf world

Okay.  I had no idea.  Maybe she'll join LIV in some capacity.

She’d be on the first thing smoking if she could

My boy Nick Hardy finishes T8 at the Travelers. Almost 500,000 won in the last two weeks!

I love it, Tony. He played so well in the U.S. Open. I didn't see the Travelers, but congrats to him!

Based on anything other than her playing that round with Trump?

Yes.  Her dealings outside the ropes with tournament officials and volunteers has been poor. 

Professional American golfers are like 99% MAGA, men or women.  It is what it is.

Gotcha, I hadn't remembered seeing anything, just that she was usually a pretty graceful/classy player in defeat.

She LOVES the Pat Perez ball mark maneuver, a half-inch is a half-inch.

In her defense, she’s so bad at putting, unless she marks it in the cup, I’m not sure it matters

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

This was quite the par putt.

Given that it was a major, given that the misses cost her the title, given the length of the putts, and give the incredibly large margin she managed to miss them by ... has there ever been a worse pressure-putting performance than Thompson put on yesterday?

He and I aren't on speaking terms.

That two footer wasn't good to put it mildly.  The only thing I can compare it to in sports is a shanked punt or a FG kicker  being 50 feet left on an extra point to win a playoff game.

Doug Sanders?

Lol showing my age . Correction noted

Figured as much.  Couldn’t remember a Doug Ford folly like Doug Sanders at the Open. 

[Spaniel with a Short Tail]

Recognize this one?

[tower912]

Hoch?  As in....

Greg is such a slut.

A combined two career Tour wins between the three of them.

In the meantime, didn't think it was possible for DeChambeau to make himself any less likeable, and yet here we are.

I’m fascinated by the argument these guys are trotting out there about “spending more time with the family” and “setting their schedule”.

1. I understand the appeal of more time away from “work” and with the family/friends.  I don’t understand competitors complaining about having to hone their craft, however.  Matthew Wolff complaining about spending time with his coach to prep for tournaments?  That’s a personal choice and the ones that want to be great practice a lot.

2. As a member of the tour, they’re required to play 15 events.  No one is making them play more unless they signed deals with sponsors and then that is a you problem, not a tour problem.  In 2 years, LIV will be 14 events across the globe.  Supposedly, these guys want to play the majors, too.  That’s 18 weeks with more severe travel. 

3. The PGA Tour schedule was a bloated mess and guys didn’t like coming aboard in January behind the playoff chase. Basically, a lot of them felt it necessary to play in the fall.  That’s a fair and valid criticism.  Yet, the top players still had priority access to any tournament they wanted. 

Basically, this isn’t a valid talking point and makes them look less as competitors IMO.
