Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

He should petition to play with a golf cart (it's probably the only way he'll ever win another golf tournament), but it seems he has too much pride to ever do it.

Wasnt there someone who got a cart with the help of ADA?

Tiger may qualify.

Yes, there was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casey_Martin

I suspect Tiger would qualify given the state of his leg and I suspect the Tour would gladly let him do it. Still don't think he does it.

Tiger won't ever win another golf tournament, get over it.

Ok, but that wasn't the discussion.

He won the US open a few years ago. Isn't that a 10 year exemption?

Sounding like bitter school girls.

It’s going to e okay Schmo. You can still blow the LIV boys. One of these days those guys might win a tournament that end after 54 holes. That was simply an epic collapse from the Kupkake’s drive on 1. No other way to look at it.

Amazing how 72 holes became too much in such a short time.

When he's old enough he's going to play the Champions tour where golf carts are allowed.

Phil did pretty well in his final 18 holes of the 72.

Looked to me like Koepka just got nervous because he hadn't been in that spot in four years and wasn't able to play his best as a result.

Probably. I think he's suggested in the past he wasn't going to play that tour, but I bet he will occasionally.

Agreed.

I think he’s still mentally shaken. He talked about it on the series Full Swing. When he was on, he knew he wasn’t going to let a miss hit end his round. It’s tough to keep that edge when other guys are climbing the mountain and you get a nagging injury. Then you try to compensate for that and injure something else.

Phil did finish strong but I'm glad he didn't win. He had the fans on his side when he won the PGA at Kiawa but now not so much now.

The Master's website listed he withdrew due to a flareup of Plantar fasciitis. So doesn't seem it was due to the leg injuries if that was correct.
