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.

    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.

        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.

            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.

            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 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.

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

                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.

                    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.

                        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.

                          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

                            darpar Hard to call a 31 yr. old and "up and comer"

                            Late bloomer?
                            I did pit a ? after my statement.
                            Regardless, whoever is leading should be the story, not the second place or third place guy, in spite of his name.
                            If it was a nobody American, I wonder if this is a different story.
                            This is one reason the LIV tour is better.

                                More like it, seems like a good guy.
                                Didn't they say he used to be in the LD comps too?
