Wow - what a tournament!
Of course - we had lots of rain Thursday. That would normally be the story. But not this time.
I don’t care for Bryson. I think he’s very odd. But walking on the sidewalk behind Brooks Koepka just doesn’t seem like the basis of some major feud. But wow - fans were escorted off of the Muirfield grounds by taking all this far too seriously. And so I figured that would be the big story. But no…..
Kevin makes a major trade to pick up Jon Rahm. On Saturday, as Rahm is running away with the tournament, I’m being heckled for my “brilliant” move of dropping Rahm just weeks earlier. My daughter Ashley, my brother, people I don’t even know - everyone giving me crap about Rahm on his way to win the Memorial. I even joked with my brother - who was at the tournament Saturday - that he’d need to do something to get Rahm DQ’d. I heard the news Saturday night and saw the video replay Sunday morning. While a little happy for myself, that’s just terrible news for Rahm. And Kevin. Kevin ended up going backwards with Rahm not finishing and Peppermint Patty and John Holmes not making the cut.
Monica got a nice win in overtime from Cantlay. 16 points for her. And Jim picked up 22 points to move up the leaderboard. But your Commissioner brought home the Major sidebet and 24 points largely thanks to Morikawa’s 2nd place finish and good Sunday rounds by Si Woo Kim and Alex Noren.
Also some news way down in the basement. With Dynomite Walker having a good tournament, Dave has crawled out of the basement, ahead of Al. The Doctor had Cameron Champ miss the cut badly and Kuchar deciding not to come back out on Friday to finish his opening round.
