*Race was there...RaceBannon said:I did not see Fitz holding on at 6 under. Good effort good job. He won the US Am there in 1913 if you didn't hear
Overnight rain and no wind reduced the carnage but the big names still didn't get it done
Schleffler on Saturday after the eagle at 8 or Sunday with 4 birdies in the first 6 should have been able to put the hammer down. Tiger would have
Scottie is good but not great. Does anyone in this generation get over 4 majors? -
Rory will get another one, but that’s probably it for him. He had a head start, not sure anyone else gets past there though. No one that comes to mind at least. There are more than enough Gary Woodland, Shane Lowry, Molinari types on the tour that can get hot for a week and steal one and no one is surprised when they win. Just no one had a major pre assigned to them. Fitzy falls into that type, though he probably has more staying power than those others. 20 years ago no one thought that Sergio, Rose or Adam Scott would only have one each.RaceBannon said:I did not see Fitz holding on at 6 under.

Rory needs a new caddie too. Having your yes man childhood buddy on the bag that no one else would hire is not what he needs. He needs an ass kicker back there. Go throw some money at Greller and he can can win a few more.

Now don’t screw this up by playing it at shitty TPC courses and doing straight stroke play. Limit crowd sizes and go play at cool places and something different in format and I’ll watch.RaceBannon said:

If Bryson and Brooks got 150 million they were smart to take it because both are breaking down faster than Tiger did
Tiger was generally healthy from 97 to 08 but still had two or three knee surgeries before he won the US Open on a broken leg. He's been hurt or recovering pretty much ever since. But the 14 majors kept him in the 100 million dollar club a yea whether he played or not
That's not happening for Brooksie or Bryson.
Golf pros tend to have a short shelf life when they aren't juicing and hitting the weights like an NFL player.
LIV at the moment is the Champions Tour for 40 year olds. Even play 54 holes. Even the gals play a lot more 72 hole events
The PGA Tour is responding as needed. The middle class may suffer but ain't that America for you and me -
Ghengis Khan was also an irrational threat.

Jay Haas is 68 years old and shot a 67 at the Senior US Open

Champions Tour for 40 somethings and the broken down -

Greg Norman not welcome at the Champions Dinner this week. I, for one, fucking love it. I will be the first to admit I’m extremely against LIV for all the reasons Race has laid out, the absolute splintering and watering down of pro golf sucks (as it does in CFB btw). I get how “soft” this will be seen by anyone that doesn’t care about the sport or watching it and following it week in and week out. But, I just like that the one thing LIV golfers have more of now, money, doesn’t mean shit some days of the week or weeks of the year. In fact, there are downsides to unlimited money-seeking behavior, including the unmeasurable cost to one’s legacy. Greg Norman will never run out of money to count, but he’s running short on friends and respect. Lot of people don’t seem to think this matters anymore, I find that sad. While the LIV bootlickers will undoubtedly say, “Who cares, Greg Norman is rich now and it’s just a dinner, lol.” I will take happiness in knowing there is no place more important for GN to be next week, and he won’t be there because of the bullshit he started.
