This swing had me the most encouraged. He attacked it and didn’t even flinch after. The game needs some work but he absolutely looks healthy.
Yeah, all I’m focusing on is his health. He’s just gotten back and has changed his swing, his ball and his equipment. His putting looks great, he’s hitting it long and he’s not chunking chips anymore. Everything else will come back with time. Driver has always been his worst club and that’s a tough course for that.
Morgan Hoffmann had been diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. Heartbreaking.

Bubba could be the most popular golfer in golf if he wasn't such a douche. He has all the ingredients - long hitter, homemade swing and can be a bit quirky.
Instead I hate him.

He has to be the most hateable player of his generation. Jason Day tries hard to edge into that conversation but he’s a bajillion miles away in terms of hateability.
Uh, Patrick Reed?
I understand a lot of people get tired of Day’s theatrics, but he’s not a complete douche bag, at least imho.
Yeah, I get why people get frustrated with Day’s game, but he seems to be a fairly nice guy. (Said no one ever about Patrick Reed.)
Meanwhile, if you could combine Tony Finau’s tee-to-green game with Aaron Baddeley’s putting you’d have the number 1 player in the world.

Yeah but he is on a course he likes. I don’t see it happening, not enough holes left for someone to chase him down. The chance for him to blow up was 12 and 13 and he saved par at both. He should pick up a birdie on 17. Don’t see him bogeying the other 3 holes.
Other people were dropping shots left and right and he just made pars. He didn't make zero mistakes, just the fewest especially on the back 9.
To be fair, I napped a bit on the front and then basketball took away like 30 mins of him on the front too.
I should have clarified the back 9 in my comment.
7 of his 10 wins at 3 courses. When he finds a course he likes and is comfortable at, he can be unbeatable.
Was fun watching Bubba today. I know he's a jerk but he's a hell of a player when he's on.
Cantlay is obviously a good player but damn that fidgeting...I have to imagine in tight spots thats not an ideal routine. Of course Sergio is a fidgeter and he played that amazing final round last year so what do I know.

The guaranteed income is very enticing. I don't blame them one bit.
I don’t blame them either, but ball seems more intimate than club, or at least irons. Most companies will fine tune the clubs to your specs way more than for a general consumer and even build stuff you and I can’t buy. Balls are balls, there’s only so much they can do. It seems kind of foolish to take a little more to play a new ball than the one you know and win with. That being said, like anything, I guess you grab it where and when you can, but there’s a balance, I think, when you get to that level of control.
I'm not passing judgement on it. I'm just shocked by it. There are a lot of endorsement opportunities for these top guys, and I'm surprised that Bubba, of all people, would opt for one with a different ball.
