You guys are nuts

Oh. Harold Varner the 593rd ranked golfer in the world? Got it. You just made my point for me.

Damn, he's fallen that far? I played him in a pool like only 3-4 years ago.

Guess LIV killed his PGA stats like it did Abraham Ancer, another guy I really thought would be a Majors fixture.

And where is he?

Oh, that’s right. They flew him to Dubai.

Oh, that’s right. They flew him to Dubai.

And if he ever got any better, he’d suddenly “take pain meds” and “drive really poorly”.

He knows that - that’s why he’s good, but not too good.

Their friends’ grandson was on the Korn Ferry tour, (won his PGA card), and was driving balls. Everyone there looked pretty good to me, but the difference between him and them was a million miles. I cannot imagine him suffering through a round with you muni course monkeys.

I don't know why this kid and his dad play with me either. The mobility and power is insane. Drives it 300 yards down the pipe like it's nothing. I don't think he ever chips the ball because his approach shots are money. There's just levels to this stuff.

I coached him in basketball. Smart kid, humble, and super respectful. I yelled at him once for helping THE OTHER TEAM off the floor instead of getting back on defense.

Hell of a Sunday. 5 guys all right there. Could have a 3 or 4 way playoff

Rory putting it away, unless he collapses like Rose has been.

Some poor shot-making right now. Tiger in his Prime would wipe the floor with these guys - including Rory & Scottie.

I just texted this goobers dad to ask what his actual handicap is. "Ranges from +5 to +7 on competitions courses but it doesn't matter to keep one any more." I suck at sports.

Also, congrats to Rory. Back to back master's is as good as it gets. Gonna be top-10 all time before he retires.

If Scottie can get over the weekday yips he's going to win a lot this year. -6 and -5 on consecutive days in some damn good golf

 

[Fishy]

I've analyzed the first two days and I think Rory might win.

You guys don't know golf like I do.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Pretty boring final round.

One more putt by Scottie to get to -12 and it would have been a much better final hour.

Tiger in his prime was a level better than anyone who ever touched a golf club. This isn't saying much.

Looks like someone is starting to connect the dots like me and Deep did.

I looked the kid up.

First year on the PGA Tour, I believe.

Nine tournaments, five missed cuts, a top-25 finish somewhere and some finishes in the 40s-60s range. Like $110k in earnings.

So he basically sucks compared to the aliens that played at Augusta this week.

I will admit wife and I love Rory. We loved Tiger and Phil way back when but Rory is our guy now. So when I said after day 3 that Rory lost it I am sleeping in the extra bedroom and when I said Rory seems off on the front 9 today I got no dinner. Thank you Rory for restoring my marriage!

Obviously the PGA pros are next level. What blows my mind is when they're "in trouble in the trees-off the fairway" .Like Rory on 18 or Rose. How they see windows or shapes to hit their shots and get close and/or put their shots on the green. Scheffler did it multiple times today. Unbelievable talent

Unless you are like me and have to practice that shot multiple times on a daily basis. I could run a clinic on where you should hit I just can't do it myself - such is golf

I have come to embrace "scrambling" and being creative on my second shots. Something I'm familiar with.

I'm actually better at those shots then off the fairway 😂

I am going to be recommending counseling here.

I've had eagles, and they're great on the scorecard. But there's a ton of luck in those.

But, having a shot 165 yards from the pin with a lie at the edge of some woods amidst leaves and pine needles requiring a 25 degree bend around the edge of the woods to reach the green and hitting a perfect hooded 4-iron hook to reach the green... that's the shot I replay in my head most often.

I could never duplicate it.

Good buddy’s dad has a golfing buddy that plays regularly with Ricky Fowler. My buddy’s dad is a -10 and his friend is scratch. Says the difference between the two of them is miles less than the difference between scratch and Fowler. And this is 2020’s Fowler.
