This is a .6 handicap. I’d shoot 120! Lol

The more I watch this the more I am impressed. A few things come to mind
1. Getting that read by Hovland was big. I am not sure the putt goes in if he doesn't get that look before
2. The amount of break is insane.
3. I don't think he can make that putt again if he tried. I am not taking anything away from the make, but give him 10 tries and I am not convinced he makes one.

My thoughts exactly! When Hovland hit his approach I said, "OMG, Hovland's going to give him a teach!" As far as the second thing I highlighted, we've heard this forever. "He could hit a bucket of balls and not pull that off" etc. But that doesn't really matter. He did it the first time!

If he's not sponsored, can they?

IDK. I've seen quite a few guys using LAB putters, but I don't see a lot of LAB logos out there indicating a sponsorship deal. I have gotten stuff on my phone from Srixon about JJ Spaun because he is sponsored by them.

I am sitting here watching the replay of the final round since I missed it while out.

If he wasn't sponsored by them ahead of time they most likely had to negotiate with him to use his image and promote it. Tons of golfers use Odyssey putters but if they aren't paid to use them you won't see Odyssey promote their wins because they can't or don't use their image

Respect for fellow competitor and winner.
Especially when your close …

They used a stock image from the USGA it would appear. Makes sense though. Just curious why they wouldn’t have something queued up about the winning putter.

Literally watched a man find out he just lost two million dollars and his reaction is a smile and clapping for the guy who did it to him. Really is incredible.
