It looks like Kevin Na has decided he is never going to win a major.

I always followed his career because he played in an AJGA event that I played in at Ironhorse in Leawood when we were kids. Of course I had no business really being there but he tore it up.

Hope he can be the king of that tour. He seems like a cool dude.

You could watch him in almost any tournament and deduce that. Guy is a headcase.

He's a professional golfer who plays golf to make money (and that is particularly all that he's after at this stage of his career). Seems like playing the biggest money events he can is the prudent choice on his part to me.

Except he was right. The PGA confirmed the official was wrong.

Korn Ferry Tour is at Blue Hills Country Club this week in Kansas City.

Then the week after the PGA Championship is in Tulsa. Good time to be a midwest golf fan and a chance to attend something.

For Christmas, my Family got me tickets to the PGA Tournament in Tulsa next week. It's an easy trip from my home in Wichita. I've been to a Ryder Cup, Master's and a US Open, but never the PGA Champ - so I'm looking forward to it.

I had member level passes next week to Southern Hills and I had to give them up because of a work trip.:deevee:

One of the all time chokes by Mito Pereira there on 18. JT or Zalatoris to win now.

Surprised that they aren't talking more about DUI Woods.

That is a big overstatement.

****in chilean mother****er gonna cost me 2k.

I bet a friend 2 to 1 for 1k that I get the field and he gets JT, Scheffler, Woods, and a player of his choosing (DJ).

Go go willie z

Doubling 18 to lose on a slice drive like that isn’t Jean Van De Valde but it’s as bad as anything we’ve seen in a major in a long time.

what a shot to hit the green

****!

Never much of a fan of Thomas but he hung in there let the field come back to him then won it in the playoff.

He’d been underperforming in these majors for years since he won his first. Honestly didn’t play great this week either but he’s too good a golfer to only have one of these.

Hate Thomas. What a back door major. Those are so pathetic. Els did that to Scott at the 2011 British

Pereira missed the putt on 17 and that was all she wrote.

U must have missed #18

With a 2 shot lead, I bet he doesn’t use driver on 18.

That was the worst swing I’ve seen since I had my son film my swing.

That was pathetic.

Lol, like there’s a bad way to win a major. Dude shot 32 on the back 9, 67 total.

He made the plays when everyone else choked.

The 74 on Saturday for jt was tough but 3 67s on that track is playing. It’s a big golf course.

I’m still chafed from walking it Wednesday and Thursday. Tough track

This ^

It sounds like the PGA has a big issue.

Good

There will be a lot more players than just that playing these events soon enough. Is the PGA Tour going to suspend them all?

Clearly a conspiracy to get Tiger more major wins...

Just catching up on this PGA vs LIV.
Sounds like a hostile takeover.
Money always/usually wins in these sort of circumstances.

LIV doesn't appear to be going anywhere any time soon and the players will, by and large, follow the money. It's a profession after all.

I get that the PGA Tour wants to maintain its same standing its had for decades now, but that may not be reality anymore. Restricting many of the best players in the world from playing on your tour may not have the effect they hope it will.

Damn, I know the US Open has the toughest conditions but holy shit these greens are brutal.

Guys missing 2-4 ft putts all over the place.

Also pretty cool to see about 10-15 of the top 20 brand new names on tour.

Just let Tirico do the play by play.

Somebody explain this to me. I saw plenty of putts from the green with the flag still in the hole. I thought it was supposed to be pulled out when putting in the green.

It doesn't have to be. Most players do, though.

Great finish there. Gutted for Zalatoris coming so close again.

The rule was changed a few years ago. Before Covid.

PGA thought it would make the game more attractive to people. Less stuffy.

Covid also allowed many course to do a no touch pin.

Personally, I think it messes with the air. On slow putts, it can add pressure between the ball and the pin. Stopping the ball from going in. At least that is what happens when I play.

Good tournament but I really prefer Americans to win the US Open. Zalatoris with chances to win the last two majors but he couldn't pull it off. Before he cut his hair, he reminded me of me when I was young and skinny. I was prettier though.

Laugh..."FOLLOW THE MONEY" Yes KU knows how this works for the last decade. Pay and Win.

Thank god Scheffler didn't win. That dude is a plague for golf. One of the most boring dudes alive. Also apparently hes 25. Mofo looks 41.

Of course they do. Spending pays off. It's gonna pay off for the LIV Tour too as they amass better and better fields.

I was rooting against him and I wasn't even quite sure why.

Who is your college hoops team?

I hate KU as much as the next guy, but let's not turn this into a Mizzou/KU pissing match. Mmmmkay?

LMAO. Fair enough.

Tiger struggling at the The Open today. Started off with a double on #1 after putting his chip into the water. Picked up a birdies on #10 & #11 to get back to +4, but then dropped one on #12.

Leader at -8 right now.

Just dropped another on #13 to put him at +6.

St Andrews is one of the most overrated and ugliest courses in the world. No elevation change. No trees. Not even green. Whole course is basically flat. Holes run up on each other. Garbage.

It should be easy then...:rolleyes:

Its like a child created the architecture of the course. Tee boxes literally right next to greens. They just threw greens and edges of fairways by shit cuz they didnt know what else to do back then. Just a horrible horrible course. I'd rather play the local muni.

Really though, I love St. Andrews. It seems like it should be an easy course, but it's anything but. It's #1 on my list of courses I wish I could play.

Birthplace of golf. The best golfers ever, have played it from way back in the 15th century. I think it will be alright without your green fee..

Just because its old doesn't make it good.

nothing man made was done perfectly the first time

I played the nicklaus copy in Florida it’s definitely tricky for an amateur.

Yea it would be an easy course to copy because its a barren wasteland, flat, and you dont have to water it

Not a fan of British courses outside of very few exceptions. These courses are too easy for modern golfers.

Also, they look like shiite on TV and don't even take advantage of the beautiful seaside. Too few British courses utilize holes along the coast like you'd have at Pebble Beach or Pacific Dunes. Yet all the British Open courses are along the coast. Total waste.

If I could play any course there, it would be Royal Dornoch or Turnberry Ailsa. Maybe even Carnoustie for the challenge. St. Andrews has four or five unique holes but the rest are pretty bland.

They should play the British Open at Bandon Dunes or Whistling Straights haha

Homa misses a 50+ foot eagle on 18 by a couple inches.

Willie doesn't care about st. Andrew's because the equipment and the altheticism has overcome the game.

Back in the 50's - 70's they didn't have the clubs, balls, etc that they do now.

The course hasn't changed much, the equipment has. Booming drives 350 compared to back then. The hazards are still there tho. When they can drive over bunkers it makes a major difference.

Greens these days are made for said equipment and the ability to control the ball. Spin. The old days didn't.

So yes, st Andrew's isn't what it was back in the day, compared to what golf is now.

It's still historic and cherished to watch for me.

I will add, a driving rain and 30 mph wind that we aren't seeing that sometimes we do aren't a factor for this open.

St. Andrews used to be 11 holes out and 11 holes back in and some of the holes shared a green. But originally it was 22 holes. It is one of the greatest golf courses on the planet. And it's a park on Sundays except during The Open.

If an unbiased person who had never heard of the history or any prestige brainwashed into them played say St Andrews and another links style course like Bandon Dunes. They would think Bandon Dunes is 20 times better. Just because something is old, doesn't make it better. Its a complete farce this shithole serves a major championship.

You might be right. St. Andrews is imbued with greatness. It is the birthplace of the game. It is a hooligans game played by gentleman Thus, we pay homage.

This goat ranch course is no place for a major.

These guys are lighting this place up.

16 under in the 3rd round for a major?

So many guys -10 or less

Too easy

It's always been like this at St. Andrews with no wind. Like half the par 4s are drivable.

I wanna go play St Andrews just so I can hit 400 yard drives.

Tiger hit one 412 yards this week lol...and there is not much wind this week.....

Go Rory though. Hope he wins. He deserves more majors. Best player ever if you take out the putter thru wedge.

Shefflers got some funky ass footwork.

Let’s go Rory but I don’t think Hovlands going away.

Fk McElroy

But what do you think of McIlroy?

For real man. It’s just terrible.

Fk him too

It’s the birthplace of golf, you philistines.

Rory gonna give this one away because he can't make a putt
