@CriticallyTouch I very slightly preferred Scavengers Reign to Blue Eyes Samurai, and actually wished it got the win because I think it needed it more

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@KylePorterCBS @DataGolf Els being 60 strokes gained in a major season and winning none of them is a major ouch

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@VernonDelcampo @TrackingCantlay Today I thought was pretty encouraging, when he’s great he’s great off the tee and he has been so mediocre with that all year. Today his tee to green play was actually very good, putts just didn’t fall. Tough course out there, tough to break par when you lose 2 strokes putting

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@TrackingCantlay @VernonDelcampo Still, if he putted today like he did the first 3 days he would have won the tournament. Missed a few from less than 10 feet after being automatic on them all week

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@SpannersReady It may be as simple as they’re trying to avoid having two rookies in the team and don’t have a lot of options for experienced drivers

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@bweiny @NoLayingUp Xander has won more times than Finau and is 4 years younger

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@ryan_7283 @KylePorterCBS There’s always people who will believe that if something doesn’t happen after a certain period of time it just won’t (ie they believe Phil was too much of a choker) but most people assumed it was a matter of time

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@ryan_7283 @KylePorterCBS It was a way bigger deal with Phil because he was winning a lot more otherwise and was a superstar personality. Xander and Cantlay are consistent top 10 players but they aren't thought of as superstars.

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@KylePorterCBS @RickRunGood Ugh sorry I mean just 7 wins, I misread the year on his Hero win

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@KylePorterCBS @RickRunGood Am I missing a joke here? Where is Rahm (7 wins plus a Hero) or

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@BrendanPorath I think as North Americans we have to accept it is okay to have world class events in the middle of the night to truly cover the globe with the sport.

That being said, you'd want to bring those events to places that actually care about golf.

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@SuirAdrian @ProGolfCritic @NoLayingUp @DataGolf It will have this problem. I don't think OWGR is necessarily the best answer for LIV, automatic berths into the majors based on LIV performance is. They just see the OWGR as an easier path as the majors still aren't very LIV-receptive.

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@TEgan53186 @KylePorterCBS I mean there's no point in arguing with you if you discredit all LIV results. He was the best player in fields that included guys who were top 10 when they left as well as recent major winners. It's not unreasonable to think he improved in 2023 over 2022.

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@TEgan53186 @KylePorterCBS He was ranked 35 when he left and had a better season than any LIV golfer, many of whom were ranked higher than him going in. Top 30 is not unreasonable.

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@NoLayingUp @ProGolfCritic @DataGolf I think it's very hard for any variation of Data Golf to make accurate comparisons between the LIV and PGA Tours because they have such little overlap.

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@KylePorterCBS Sorry, 44th in the rankings

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@KylePorterCBS I just have trouble believing DG rankings when it claims every player falls right off the map when they join LIV. Cam Smith was second in the LIV rankings last year, but still had a bad enough year to drop from a top 5 player to out of the rankings?

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@TheShotgunStart @BrendanPorath @AndyTFE Cam Smith should be at least in the Stars category for carrying the Australian representation right now (and I don't think he's less popular than Collin even in the States)

[Other Scott @Coopster2290]

@SpannersReady I'm a proponent of iii) Red Bull is just an outlier and the rest of the grid is closer than it's ever been
