This is the PGA Tour, it’s ALWAYS the caddies fault.
He shoved the shinola out of it.

Closed on Sunday.
I keep throwing money away on this guy.
Interesting putter and grip. But, they work for him.
Just a perfect finishing hole.
"He sure was the most consistent."
Can you explain?
Up until this week, each stop has been loaded with top players, and finishes have come down to the wire a number of times.
This week will be fun as well.
I wish fans were allowed and their off week event is near Reno this week.
I have to say, the venue is working out better than I had anticipated. The senior tour used to light that course up, so I was dubious they could keep the scores sub -30, honestly. Thompson was so solid and consistent. The course/leaderboard provided the grouped scoring that added some drama.
#18 I thought was more interesting given there were no grandstands behind the hole for a backstop/free drop. They had to give it mucho respect, and 157 yd 3rd shot in for many players was telling as to the wind and lack of bailout in how they were playing it.
I’ve never played the course. I’m less than 5 miles from it and now I’d like to try it some day. Looks like they made some good changes, and the course is maturing nicely with the trees. Didn’t realize there was that much water on the course. The land is so flat up there, they had to dig the dirt out to use for fairways, a la Pete Dye, thus all the resulting water hazards.
I hope they leave that 289 yard par 4 alone (is it #16?) It was fine and they were talking about ripping it up. No one has any patience with anything anymore.
Just the conditions alone change a hole day to day. Sheesh.
Overall, the backdrop of the area up there isn’t all that dramatic, and not much course history, etc. Its hard to build an event from the ground up. I kind of like how you feel like you’re out there with them for a round though. Very intimate too, just lacking the electricity an audience can bring. I think they could let limited #s in to view and just mask up/social distance. Outdoor venue like that is about as safe as it gets.
Not enough juice without any majors, it’s been an OK season so far at best.
