My boy Hayden Buckley opened up the Player’s with an ace on #17 and in that opening round, he was -5 and leading the tournament. Wow! And then he proceeded to miss the cut. That’s not the kind of luck you need to win the Tommy O. However, Scheffler did pull out a win at TPC Sawgrass to help score the Commish 13 points. His win also earned me a hot dog at the turn someday (with lots of mustard and onion) from Big J - thanks to a super secret bet!

As far as breaks go, Big J’s Spieth appeared to be on his way to missing the cut Friday. At +2 and on his last few holes, he hits his tee shot way right on #16. Heading into the water, penalty and a free weekend for Jordan. But no, his ball hits a guy in the knee and bounces back into the fairway, leading to an eagle for Spieth. Those are the kind of breaks you need in the FGL.

B.T.O. had a good week with Homa and Matsuyama finishing Top 10. However, his number 1 guy, Jon Rahm, quit after Friday’s round. Tummy bug. Sorry Dave.

Kevin jumps out of the basement with this tournament. Now that honor is shared by PAK and Monica.

Sunday, I went down to the Cincinnati area for an on-site visit with Team Jaustin. Julian didn’t seem happy with me as I was rooting against his boy Im. Julian spit up all over me. And then he smiled. And so the FGL season begins. And on the way home, Mrs. Commissioner and I found a Ponderosa on the southside of Columbus. Wow - hadn’t been in a Ponderosa for 30 years. The buffet is still ridiculously huge. Kind of felt a little naughty walking out of there!
