Why would anyone who isn’t getting millions of dollars from them be pro-LIV? Did the PGA wrong them?
Absolutely! The mental toll it takes to perform at the level these players do for four straight days (add in the weather challenges this weekend too) and it most assuredly is exhausting. Hell, I coach at a high school level and it is exhausting to match up against our closest rivals...I cannot imagine how it would feel to play on this stage.
30 holes today for these guys, too.
It's a massive amount of distance walking, tons and tons and tons of hills, and pressure. These guys are machines and it's impressive as fuck.
Cantlay really dragging this thing out for everyone. Koepka and Hovland have both looked pretty pissed.
No I didn’t mean to imply it was easy just wanted to understand the approximate distance
Very much yes.
At one point, Hovland literally hit a chip on the 13th green while Cantlay was STILL on the fairway walking to the green. That doesn't happen too often. It's probably happened before, but I've never seen it happen.
And there is a picture on Twitter of Brooks and Rahm both staring daggers at the 16th green as Cantlay lined up a putt for 8 minutes, and missed. Arms crossed, angry, grim, pissed.
Me too. Slow play is brutal for everyone.
Cantlay should have been assessed multiple penalties and it's absolutely crazy he wasn't.
Last year, Schefty four putted the 18th green on Sunday and won the Masters. This year, Rahm four putted the 1st hole on Thursday and won the Masters.
The yin and the yang.
The yin and the yang.
Yeah I just think Rahm's superlative performance as opposed to the length of play today deserved to be the punchline.
Like Scheffler last year, Rahm is clearly the best player in the world right now and proved so with a quality victory.
Did Rahm find his tee shot? I got a little confused there because I thought he played the provisional but then the score wouldn’t make sense.
People build up identities around the weirdest shit.
Anywho, good on Rahm... I look forward to watching that messed up swing for the next 20+ years.
Yes, he did. It was basically in the middle, short of the fairway after it bounced back out.
So best LIV guy is a 52yr old who.hasnt finished in the top 30 in any LIV tournaments?
I do sort of wonder if some of these guys miss being in a truly competitive situation.
Koepka said in his post-round interview that he expects to play in the "other three" majors. I know he's a past champion, but does he really think he's going to be in the PGA?
