Sounds like he should’ve putted better.
This was not about putting better, it was about seeing the man.
But yes, the day before, nothing was going down for Cam. On Sunday, they went in for him and not for Rory. Putting is not Rory’s forte’ and this was a putter’s course (huge greens, undulations off and on the green). His game is driver and approaches. They did not work for him to the extent needed. That’s golf.
Looking at both Rory and Cam on YouTube – they don’t take a lot of time over the ball which is great, they don’t take practice strokes (I know that for Cam, not sure on Rory but I don’t think he does), but Cam just looks a little more relaxed with the putter, or he did on Sunday. I mean, it’s tough to see, but it takes only a little to be thrown off, at this high level.
more like the butt boy for the PGA tour and certainly not from the moral high ground. Rooting for Smith big time.
Surely everyone is entitled their opinion but for the record Rory speaks certainly from the moral high ground against the Saudi exhibition tour – whether or not one likes him. Smith is a definitely a worthy champion- no one wins in one year both the Open and Players without extensive skill (even beyond his mastery of putting) but he may be bolting soon.
Rory in 2014 (IIRC) literally stated "is all about me" when he left the European tour.
How do you figure? The 3 time winner of the Dubai open and pocket stuffer with Chicom exhibition money hardly seems the type to be occupying the moral high ground. To each his own I guess.
far different from taking up life changing up front money for exhibition golf but to each his own.
All golf is exhibition golf.
But did the driver contest winner get selected? .. Asking because I miraculously chose Cam Smith to win, but I know there were others too. But I’m not familiar if the giveaway gets posted in this thread & I missed it, or how that happens.
.. again, trying not to be a prick for asking about this, because giving away prizes for contests like this is amazing thing that THP does, and by no means it is something they have to do. Very thankful that they do stuff like this!
Not yet. But coming very soon.
Not entirely valid. No world points for the Saudi backed tour = exhibition. PGA and DP get earned points = non exhibition but it is fun to argue with those backing Norman’s $$$ up front and with the $ everyone in filed cashes out tour no badly they play in the exhibition.
I thought source of the money was a problem? Evidently not if you can gauge your outrage based on volume.
No it is absolutely valid and I’m not backing anybody. There isn’t a guy on the PGA Tour that isn’t paid annually for appearing there. Be it in sponsorship, tee up money or anything else. There are tournaments that don’t have a cut and everybody gets paid.
I understand not liking where the money comes from, or Norman or anything else, but pretending these great player’s aren’t competing is nonsense.
Please send GolferGal a PM with your full name and shipping address as well as which of the two driver heads you would like.
@smellysell Hey, you won! Congrats man!
Totally disagree and as a player who back in the day played in state senior opens and the national tournament of Panamá (Panasonic in early 90s) we had to on merit qualify- the LIV is instead a handpicked, bonus up front, no cut, shortened to 54 holes etc. no world points, weak field “tourney” that is simply not on plane with even weak PGA events in depth or quality of play and is certainly at best not true championship golf. It may one day evolve and become a real championship level tour down the line. but right now is primarily an exhibition tour – based on level and type of play. The PGA tour as noted does have a few no cut events but those slots are solely earned on past earned performance / not drawn in by substantial up front money.
it seems like many on the cite are seemingly pulling for the Saudi tour and that is certainly your right. But please explain why? How does it benefit golf to have this sports washing tour going on?
Check out the Charles Barkley link in the LIV thread.
Plain and simple the weeks the LIV plays against the PGAT schedule they have the better field and improving constantly, as well as show more golf shots hands down in a entertaining fashion at a high caliber vs what the tour has provided the previous umpteen years with nothing new to show for it. Sports are for ENTERTAINMENT, I don’t watch to be critiqued and looked down upon from those who claim moral superiority, I can lay my head down and sleep at night with a clean conscious as well as I choose to go throughout my day not judging others based on the subject because to each there own. I am for one however tired of being chastised for wanting to have a release from everyday chaos without being labeled a sympathizer for murder, bigotry, and oppression. Always seems that those who want to constantly rail against the LIV tour want to be judge, jury and executioner of those who oppose what the believe in seems kinda ironic for those claiming sports washing and the high ground in this case. I hope both tours can succeed and have success as I love golf first and foremost, the more the merrier, hell if they had a executive courses tour I’d be glued to that as well. But the constant show me your worthy of my tolerance is getting to be absolute ********.
Holy crap, I never win anything, thanks @JB and @GolferGal!
I need to do some research on the models honestly, but whichever is more forgiving/higher launching. Going to have to figure out a shaft for it too. Will definitely post up in the review thread once I get in some time with it.
Thanks again!
Check out the review Thread, tons of great THP reviews
E722 it is, so stoked!
Will thanks
That is fine to each his own at the end of day and you make some good points
