Agreed he was sometimes 40+ yds behind Rory that being said. 3 Top 5s in the majors this year says tons about what Butch is doing for his game.
Rickie isn't a short knocker by any means. Rickie is on the right path. Just a little more consistency and a hot putter is all Rickie needs. I didn't think this last year, but I really like what Rickie is doing on the course. I finally believe that he may an elite level pro pretty soon.
