Cantlay is 6-2-1 cumulatively in Ryder Cup play since he has been on the team. And he won both of his individual matches in the past two Ryder cups.

Massey's comments on his preseason ratings: "Preseason ratings are based on an extrapolation of recent years' results, tuned to fit historical trends and regression to the mean. A team's future performance is expected to be consistent with the strength of the program, but sometimes there may be...

No.

Early Massey ratings not only used data from the previous year, but also from at least one year before that.

As pointed out, a player can apply for an exception to the five-year rule. The NCAA is more likely to grant an exception if the player is applying for a sixth year due to injuries as opposed to having missed multiple seasons due to transfers, academic problems, etc..

A team actually is allowed one summer trip every four years. You are correct that the last one was in 2023, so there could be another one as early as 2027.

Hopefully, that will be true in another year or two. But this year she will be in practice and learn mode.

In better ball, not sure how anyone wouldn't take Bryson in a heartbeat. The only reason not to take him would be hatred of LIV. (Note: I hate LIV but I wouldn't even have to think to add DeChambeau to the team as my first captain's pick.)

We'll see. A lot of things can happen. Rory McElroy won his fourth major at a much younger age than Scotty (Age 25) and was #1 in the world at a much younger age (Age 22) than Scotty. At that time many were saying things like "Rory will be challenging Tiger and Jacks records". They're not...

He is certainly on pace, but golf is a funny game and it is really hard to sustain that kind of success. For example, Jordan Spieth won his third major by the age of 24. He has now gone eight years without winning another one. Another example is Rory McIlroy. He won four majors by the time he...

I can’t see that it will take any shine at all off the apple. All they will do is say that UConn is one of the top 16 seeds, and we already knew that. They will not say who UConn is playing or where UConn is seeded or even which day UConn is playing on.

This is really not a big deal at all. They are simply going to announce who the top 16 seeds are. Anyone who follows college basketball could’ve guessed almost all of them before the announcement. They are not going to announce anything about who these teams are playing or what number their...

Coaches are allowed to work with the team four hours a week.

Note that summing up all of these averages, when some of the players will have played far less than all of the games, is meaningless. For example, if Gandhi theoretically averaged five points a game, but only played in eight games, then her effect on the teams total would only be about one...
