LOL i don't think phil books early flights home. Flying private as much as he does, my guess is they will do whatever to accommodate him.

The fact nobody asked him about it was surprising.

My guess, she simply doesn't come to events anymore and flying in Saturday night would have added pressure.

All top PGA guys fly private. They all book flights, just depends on if they'll be filled or not. Takes a while for them to come up with a flight plan and all that. Can always cancel the flight.

Lefty up 4 with with 8 to go. Get it done old man!

Love to see a genuinely good person get the win and the spotlight rather than the philandering piece of shit who has been the focus for most of the last twenty years.

Hmm. Perhaps you dont know Phil. He philandered with the best of them for many many years

I've been frustrated for a couple years with having lost a lot of ballstriking (resulting in diminished distance and weaker ball flight).

I added about a quarter turn back (and re-timed hip rotation) over the weekend, and it was all back like magic. 280 off the tee (nearly no roll-out) on the par 5 #2 where I play, and then I flew the green from 215 with a 4 hybrid (really thought when I struck it that I was going to have a reasonable eagle putt).

I'm still not any good (you will note I needed to hit an 8 foot putt to save par on this hole), but it's a much more fun kind of bad.

Fun kind of bad is great. You’re not a complete hack embarrassing yourself, just not consistent but still good enough to make your buddies say nice shot at least 10 times.

I have slowed my drive swings way down. Much more control and not that much distance reduction.

I had a rough time with my wedges and short iron game when I played on Saturday. Shot an underwhelming 83. Had maybe 4 GIRs, and everywhere I missed, I had no green to work with so putts were always long.

The greens where I play are usually lightning fast (11.5 minimum), so when it's wet and they're down around 10 I don't have any idea what to do. So my 9s were 49, 47 and 48.

I cannot stand slow greens. Played at a course I've never played at a few weeks ago and they were around 10 and I'm usually playing at a 12 at the 2 courses I play. I left everything a couple feet short and it was super frustrating the entire round.

Oh my goodness.

That's just not fun. Hybrids, woods and irons all day for them. Would rather hit is shorter and straighter than long and potentially wild.

I played for the first time in 3 years and shot a 90. I hit the ball hard and straight off the tee and was decent from the fairway, but holy god I cannot chip any more.

A 90 after 3 years away. Pretty good.

I'd dust the sticks off for a round with this dookie:

That’s some funny shit

Rahm forced to withdraw due to positive Covid test. I have 3 letters. WTF

[Deleted User 880]

Here is what I don't understand. He was tested BEFORE the round. Obviously they don't have/get quick results of the test/s. Why not?

Very strange. They are tested multple times a week.

Heartbreak city for Rahm.

Vaccinated players are not tested.

ha ha ha ha ha

the dumbfuck didn't get vaccinated. Cost him $2 million. That's what you get for being an idiot.

Talk about karma.

Hopefully this serves as a lesson. I wish this was being more publicized than it is.
