Was T-26th at Derre in the only start in 2019. Was T-10th at Travelers, missed cut at Rocket Mortgage.
I had two Missed Cuts last week with Doc Redman and Sepp Straka. Would have been a lot more upset had I picked DeChambeau (MC) and Hideki (WD). Will be at John Deere Classic for 1st round on Thursday; picking Henley and Harman; looking forward to getting back out and watching some live golf. Will be the first time since I worked Shot Link at the BMW held at Medinah almost two years ago now back in August 2019. Tried watching some of The Match this evening. If we could just listen to the four golfers smack talking to one another (which is pretty good stuff) and get rid of the four announcers it would be soooo much better. I watched four or five holes and turned it off. Couldn’t watch it any longer.
The Match is completely unwatchable and I can only hope this is not the future of golf.
Camera work was terrible and these five-minute commercial/promo breaks drove me to watch other programming.
I like Phil but Bryce is no joy to watch other than him hitting it long. Kind of bored watching Brady and Rogers, sorry agree with you this is not good TV.
Glad to see you back at a tournament, I have not returned to any events and now have not been to a tournament since the 2019 British Open at Portrush. Was going to the Ryder Cup, but my poor wife trying to be nice and surprise me got a beach house for a week, the week of the Ryder Cup. Whoops, will have to watch it from the beach.
Hey Sal – walked all 18 holes today with the Russell Henley (-4), Maverick McGovern (E) and Sepp Straka (-1) group. So great to be out again, ran into several Shot Link friends, John Deere friends and customers on an unusually comfortable cool day in July at Deere Run in Silvis. Poor Sepp – I felt so bad for him; he could have shot a 65 or 64; hoping all round that something would drop for him; I’d have thrown my clubs in the Rock River on #16 if I was him after his perfect shot on the short par 3; here is his day….dropped a 19 foot putt on the par 5 2nd hole to get to -1; lipped out 10 footer on on 3, lipped out 6 footer on 4, a 10 footer on 5, a TWO FOOTER on 6 (UNREAL), 5 footer on 7, 14 footer on 11, 12 footer on 14, FOUR FOOTER on 16, after all that drains a 25 footer on 17, then bogeyed 18 after bad chip shot; Seriously how he finished -1 after that is beyond me. Henley was solid all day hence his 67 (had several opportunities to shoot 3 or 4 shots lower but is in good position for Fri-Sat-Sun); Maverick killed his round on a couple late holes…..but he was the opposite of Sepp because he kept making 2-putt par savers after 2-putt par savers on #1 (15′), #3 (54′), #4 (22′), #5 (43 yds), #6 (42′), #7 (13′), #8 (35′), #9 (47′), #11 (31′), #12 (11′), #13 (37′), #14 (missed 6′ for birdie), #18 (40′), it was his wayward drives into the rough on #15 (double bogey) and #16 (bogey; check the play by play on his 2nd shot….it went just 2″ in thick rough behind the green). As I said, so great to be out walking the course again and feel the ebb and flow of a round from best players in the world.
Glad that you were able to get out.
It’s getting harder and harder to predict anything on the PGA Tour, I would have thought that Straka would have done better.
Since the Masters’ things are a bit different, think that the tour has just become a regular routine that there is no longer good places that they play in.
Glad your weather is good, it’s miserable watching golf in hot and humid weather.
