Memo to Justin Thomas: Complaining about having to hole a short putt in match play is never a good look. “Spoiled” and “entitled” and “arrogant” and “petulant” are just some of the words that come to mind 🙄

Things I know about Rory. He’s a brilliant but fallible golfer. He’s great fun to watch play. And, in my experience, he’s a thoroughly decent lad. Shane Lowry is right. Yes,Rory’s play at Pinehurst can legitimately be questioned. But that decent lad needs some kindness right now

Just watched end of the Masters again. If you do, take note of how joe lacava behaves. Only after Tiger shook hands with everyone else on the 18th green does Joe appear in shot. In complete contrast to the despicable/narcissistic Steve Williams back in the day. Well bowled Joe.

Not 100 percent of all that is going on. But one thing is certain….a “great” caddie would not have done what Joe LaCava did on the 18th green. To interfere with play as he did must be the number one sin for any caddie. #justsaying

There is no doubt that what DeChambeau has chosen to do he does very well. But what we saw yesterday could be a turning point. Golf at the top level needs to decide what it wants to be. A one-dimensional slug-fest or the more subtle and nuanced game played by stars of the past.
