He's a truly excellent striker of the ball. You wonder how he would have done over the past 10 months if there were crowds and putting gets a little more tense with so many people watching. But getting 4 wins at his age, so quickly, is beyond impressive. He seems like a legit dude, too. He will be a guy I root for.Moriwaka seems like a really good guy and a pretty interesting person as well. And a phenomenal golfer. Easy guy to root for.
Absolutely. Now that he seems to have gotten a grip on his putting, look out. I mean, look out already - having made so many consecutive cuts to start his career, plus already has one major championship under his belt.

Except he actually has a Major too.He's a stud. 4 wins in 41 pro starts. He's basically had Fowler's career in 1.5 years on tour.
True, but I give Rick the Players as a major.Except he actually has a Major too.
It's not. Don't get me wrong, it's a quality event, but no one cares much about a Players wins unless they're desperately trying to cobble together a tour resume without a major win. The folks in the marketing department love you though.True, but I give Rick the Players as a major.
Golfers are measured against their peers by total majors won. That's basically it. For the guys who haven't won a major at least the Players isn't empty calories like the John Deere Classic or whatever. It's definitely something but it's not much next to an actual major.It's the deepest field they'll have all year on any tour. Biggest purse. Winner perks are identical to the actual majors, with the exception of world ranking points which is slightly lower (80 vs 100) than the 4 majors for no reason other than to protect the sanctity of the 4 majors. The Hall of Fame counts the Players as a major for entrance.
It's only been around since the mid70's so it doesn't have the historical weight of the 4 majors but everything else about it says it's a major. You could probably argue that it's harder to win a Players than a PGA and maybe even a Masters as a professional.
Hah, he wishes he was involved! He's not the only AWS guy on SoSH thoughIs flawless going to be commentating.
I think the deepest field matters. The field is the 144 best players in the world. Winning against that group is a heck of an accomplishment, a much greater achievement than winning a regular tour event or even a WGC. Historically, the winners are a the best players in the world.Golfers are measured against their peers by total majors won. That's basically it. For the guys who haven't won a major at least the Players isn't empty calories like the John Deere Classic or whatever. It's definitely something but it's not much next to an actual major.
And who cares about the deepest field? The Masters is arguably the best major in part because it tries to avoid allowing mediocrities into the field.
Not anymore!!Hah, he wishes he was involved! He's not the only AWS guy on SoSH though
The PGA is the Cornell of majors?I agree the PGA is a weaker major. Pretty much everyone would prefer to win the Masters, US Open, or British Open, unless maybe they've only won the PGA. The designation matters though.
More like Princeton.The PGA is the Cornell of majors?
He is absolutely stupid enough to try. But I agree that he won't do it unless the conditions are so perfect that he's almost trapped (by his own words) into doing so.Apparently Bryson has talked about possibly trying to drive 6 if the wind conditions were just right. Word is, the wind conditions are ideal for trying. Even Day and Fowler were talking about it. Let's see if he has the stones.
(he won't do it)
By like 30 yards. He got cut off but he was looking into the camera saying if he gets more wind tomorrow..Fucking Wyndham Clark Walmarted him.
Saw this take on twitter somewhere, but I think it's right.If he's out of it on Sunday and the wind works, I bet he'll give it a go.
They will have a hell of a time getting tomorrow in. It's supposed to rain most of the day. 78% rain chance.Hatton closes with 4 birdies in his lat 5 holes for the old 77-67 to make the cut. Remember kids. when you're feeling glum, pop up a thumb.
Great weekend ahead. Stacked leaderboard and some weather rolling in. Always fun when the wind blows at Bay Hill.
Never tell me the odds.They will have a hell of a time getting tomorrow in. It's supposed to rain most of the day. 78% rain chance.
Haha perfect. You've been keeping that in the back pocket you little cheeky monkeyHatton closes with 4 birdies in his lat 5 holes for the old 77-67 to make the cut. Remember kids. when you're feeling glum, pop up a thumb.
Announcers taking about how this is an impossible hole to get close on and Spieth promptly jars it. Almost felt like it was inevitable.Hole in 1 for Spieth on 2. He's -3 for the round, after two holes, -8 overall.
