I hope stricker gets well soon. I had not heard that he was not doing well and prayers out his way. The older he gets, the more I seem to like him.

Former Masters champion Bob Goalby passed away at age 92.  He won the 1968 Masters after finishing in a tie with Roberto DiVecenzo.  DiVecenzo famously signed an incorrect scorecard that showed he took a 4 on 17, when in fact, he had birdied it.  That gave Goalby a 1-stroke victory in one of the most infamous golf moments of all time.  Goalby had 11 career wins and him and DiVecenzo remained good friends despite that day

That's too bad.  What a way to win....lol.

Zalatoris still not making the big putt.

His putting is a war crime

If he lays up, he has to hit a wedge.  Since he can't hit a wedge to save his life in pressure spots, that was his best option

My guess is he was going for the win. Get on in two and two put would have put him in the lead . He must have had a lot of confidence in his three wood 267 over water.

Rory's 3W carry distance is 280.

Rico's right, guy can't dunk a wedge anymore.

Wow.  I can't even drive the ball 280 unless I have a stiff wind at my back.  I normally can get about 220 with my driver, but I'm just a weak woman.

Ultimately, Rory isn't judged on winning Abu Dhabi or any other event that isn't a major anymore.  It was still jarring to see that shot.  It didn't have a chance.  The miss is right on that hole because you can still make a birdie.  He didn't talk to the media, so he was clearly angry.  Him and Spieth are prime examples of premature crownings in the golf world

[tower912]

No, they are examples of how difficult it is to remain dominant.    They both have already accomplished enough to retire today and have a successful career.

That's a fair assessment as well.  Better way for me to say it is, golf is always looking for the next Tiger when the truth is, that's a nearly impossible bar.

  i wouldn't give up on jordie quite yet

I gave up on Jordan a long time ago. The game has changed a great deal in just a few years and I do not think he stay elite for Ming periods of time.

[Herman Cain]

Had a chance to experience Sawgrass Country Club today.

This is the course the TPC was originally held at until the Stadium course was built . Was a very difficult course with the wind , sand and water everywhere .

Incredible facilities had dinner at the Beach Club.

If you can find a way at to get on, I highly recommend .

  you may be right goose, but ya gotta love the guy all mic'd up.  sounds like a lot of us out on the course, except we can get away with a little more colorful language.

Bryson withdrew from the Bonesaw Invitational this weekend with a wrist injury he says he suffered from a fall on Tuesday.  Looks like he's keeping his head about it, which isn't easy in Saudi Arabia

anyone happen to see this shot by jordie?  a real cliff hanger-he shot a 9 under to put himself back into contention one shot off the lead

Now that's how you win a golf tournament Harold Varner.  Down one on last hole and make a 90 foot eagle putt.  Awesome.
