Super League Predictions

So, aside from BDC, who's going to the Saudi League? A lot of chatter on this subject recently...

Sneakylong

They were doing some USGA stuff. I heard they had talks with LIV, but nothing came of it. Fox fired Greg Norman before from their broadcast team. Lol

The Saudi’s could spend some of that $600 billion and start their own network. Lol

Spuzz Much better than listening to the PGA talking heads kissing Finau's ass all day long.

He's been playing some pretty good golf as of late, better get used to the accolades.

Sneakylong

darpar

Yeah, Finau is clicking on all gears either now. Good guy. Easy to root for.

Spuzz

darpar He's been playing some pretty good golf as of late

Good for him.
However, when I tune in and it's Tony this and Tony that and nobody else, then find out he's 2 shots back, fuck that.
That was yesterday, and now today, when he ties the leader, his name moves to the top of the scoreboard (a la Tiger)
Fuck that too.
I guess when the field is weak and watered down, they gotta do something.

Final is personable and makes it easy to root for him. 👍

I liked seeing him win last week with his army of kids at the end. 😍

Spuzz

Probably just a marketing strategy the networks have used for years, put the most recognizable
name at the top in a tied situation, hoping to get the casual viewer to stay watching.
Not that everybody knows who Finau is, but I'm not sure I ever heard even of Pendrift til this week.
You're right about Tiger, he was almost always at the top in a tied up leader board, he moved the ratings/viewership.
At one time it seemed like they just went by first to post the lowest score, first to the top of the board.

Sneakylong

sdandrea1

Yup what used to be called a Phil Mickelson moment. Lol. At least he’s the one that sticks out with his wife and kids running out on the green after a victory.

Eguller

Yep. Pulled him self up from not much and works his rear off. Loads of talent doesn’t hurt.

Sneakylong

Eguller

I remember Tony and his brother Gipper on Golf Channels The Big Break back in 2009. Lol

Eguller Man that reflects badly on Mrs Crenshaw.

Sneakylong

DonM

I actually thought just the opposite. The nerve of DeChambeau telling Crenshaw how to putt on the greens at Augusta.🙄

The shot she took at Bryson saying he had zero Masters wins and her husband having two was priceless. And there’s a very good chance he may never have a chance to win one.

Side note. My golf buddy who used to work for Nabisco and was involved with the PGA tournaments they sponsored played golf with Ben Crenshaw and Ben gave him one of his putters signed. Pretty cool.

DonM Read to me as though she had been drinking NTTAWWT

DonM Man that reflects badly on Mrs Crenshaw.

Yeah, I'd have guessed she would take the high road on that one. Not a good look for her. That's more of a Mrs. Patrick Reed move.

Sneakylong

darpar but I'm not sure I ever heard even of Pendrift til this week.

Haha, me either. Had to look at his name a couple times to get it right 'Pendrith'. Anyway, this is what's compelling about the PGA Tour. It's like landing on the moon just to get there. And winning is like hitting the lottery with the exemptions.

Look at a guy like Stewart Cink who's been on Tour for 27 years. And at 49 he's exempt until he's 51. Imagine how many guys he's seen come and go.

So as much as I like Finau, seeing a guy like Pendrith (only 2 professional wins) winning at 31 is a great story in itself. Aren't going to see these type stories on the Exhibition Tour.

rsvman2

Sneakylong My understanding is that Bryson was explaining his particular method of approaching putting at Augusta, not trying to tell Ben how to do it.
Wouldn't surprise me at all lf Ben asked him what he was doing, either. Bryson has a specific method he uses that Ben might have been interested in.

Sneakylong

Love the banter boys, but I’m distracted from my Tito’s and grapefruit juice and watching one hell of a PGA Tour tournament. Lol

Tony and the Canadian Taylor Pendrith will share the lead going into tomorrow’s finale.

Stu1961

darpar 3rd time (maybe more) is the charm. Might be easier (for a change) not having to sell it to sponsors- just have Saudi’s pay

DonM

Stu1961 Me too. Kinda undignified feel to it.

garyt1957

DonM It's always bad when the wife of a pro athlete opens her yap, usually embarrassing her pro husband. We had that hete with Kelly Stafford constantly embarrassing herself and Matt.

Who else could they pimp in this field? Cantlay? Young? Not exactly household names let alone names that get discussed much at the 19th hole.

Spuzz

How about the guy leading it?
Up and comer? They're gonna need some before the whole tour is the Over The Hill Gang
😉

garyt1957

rsvman2 And that's why Ben himself never said anything about it, that and he's too much of a gentleman. His wife, not so much

Sneakylong

rsvman2

Could be. But just as easily could've been that Ben said to Julie something like 'can you believe the nerve of him showing me how to putt Augusta greens?' And she ran with it. Plus I'm not a fan of Bryson so I'm going to default against him. lol

Better look if the wife defends her husband than Ben saying something.
Anyway, the only guy on LIV I like is the Boobster (Bubba). He's a likeable half a whack job character. lol
