was played at the site of the Andy Williams San Diego Open this year due to climate change. I missed Rivera, a classic course that shows you don't need 7800 yards to present a challenge. Torrey needs 7800 yards to present a challenge but the scenery is second to none. Well maybe the Bing Crosby Clambake
What was the deal with celebrity sponsored tournaments? Bob Hope Desert Classic. Sammy Davis Jr Hartford Open. Danny Thomas Memphis Open
Anyway Ludwig Aberg pronounced O berg, finally won a big event after the golf announcers have slobbered all over him for two years. I don't care if someone has a great swing or a great putting stroke. I care if they win. Ludwig made a late charge to goose Maverick out of the Top Gun slot
Patrick Rodgers won 11 times in college and was compared to Tiger at Stanford. Now ZERO for 287. However getting 287 starts and staying on tour ten years isn't as easy as it looks. And he's won over 17 million dollars while not winning
Guys like that are the backbone of the tour and why the rugged capitalists on tour embraced socialism to protect the vast middle. It's why LIV had a way in by taking the top guys and distorting the pay scale
If you enjoy the competition of the final round yesterday is shows why we need the top guys all playing. It's just better. Bryson, Brookise, Rahm and a few others would really fill out these fields
Word is that its is close
Next week the tour goes to Mexico instead of Doral and I still have a problem with that

Agree on the fields. I watched yesterday, but it’s just better when all the top guys are playing. The majors are about the only tournaments worth watching anymore, which is unfortunate. There are a lot of tournaments I used to really enjoy watching, but it’s just not the same without all the LIV guys. They need to get this merger done ASAP, the product is going to be watered down until they do. Diluted fields combined with top guys only playing 15-20 events a year is killing my interest.
By the way Aberg wasn't a factor until the last 5 holes. McIlroy and Scheffler played together and Scottie made a run. Maverick MacNeely was 10 under through 12 and leading
It was a lot more than Ludwig
