Luckily for me, one of the ones I forgot about was Webb Simpson at +8500. Put a whopping $.50 on him to make $42.50. lol
It was an entertaining back 9, which was all i was hoping for. Really thought graeme would cause a playoff. Kind of weird how it played out though. After being solid for 63, heck 69 holes, furyk just choked away a forced playoff.
Almost all pga touring pros do. 100 guys made seven figures and 267 guys made six figures, in winnings alone, on tour last year. I've known guys who are scraping by on the lower tours, and that can be a grind.
Good showing, top 10 with a chance to win until that putt from off the green came back at him. I still like the big, lumbering galoot.
I thought McDowell played pretty well. I'm still shocked that Furyk hit that snap hook into the trees and then followed it up by fanning a 4i into the bunker on 17. Very rattled looking play from a guy that doesn't get rattled.
a 4 iron that far below your feet under the most intense heat is a damn tough shot, especially after a couple disasters. People will always talk about the tee shot at 16 and that 4 iron, but his wedges on the last 3 holes were absolutely horrendous. Those are inexcusable.
The over the top job on 18 was by far worse in the grand scheme than the tee ball on 16. I also wonder if being told to speed up didn't mess with his brain a bit. He's historically slow, but getting told to speed up coming off 15 is bad timing if anything else.
The wedges were bad, but getting down in 3 from 222 was a much higher percentage play than up and down with a wedge on 16&18. No one was getting it close on 18.
what? The yacked left wedge on 18 was freaking horrendous. Coming up short on 16 was equally poor. Clanked 4 irons happen a helluva lot more than pros missing two greens with sand wedges.
If 16 played 620 Furyk hits driver and doesn't snap it into oblivion like he did the 3 metal and we may have a Monday playoff.
