All of Big J’s guys made the cut. That’s what it takes to win a Tommy O. And I don’t like it!
Jim picked up 17 points at Sawgrass largely thanks to Rory’s Monday win. All six of Jim’s guys made the cut pushing him into 2nd place on your FGL leaderboard. (including Justin Thomas who seemed destined to go home early until he tied a course record Friday.)I was moved at the Awards presentation on Monday when Rory mentioned how last year he was busy being a PGA spokesperson in the LIV negotiations; he had marital issues and other distractions. He stopped to thank Manager Jim for providing him with the focus he needed. Unfortunately those comments were made during a commercial break but trust me, they were indeed made.
This tournament amazes me with the number of double bogeys that happen. Any hole could do it. But the worst was Friday for me when Mrs. Commish saw the leaderboard and asked me which of my guys were on it. I ignored her thinking that would give her my answer. But no - she just had to ask again. Kind of ruined the tournament for me!
