PGA coverage just mentioned how it took 2:50 to play 9 holes… both commentators stopped themselves saying “they even have…” I’ll finish that sentence for you. “They even have rangefinders”… it’s not the gun people it’s the people themselves! Wake up!
The Americas Tour has played the first two events without a full field.
The first one was 6 short. This one is also currently 6 short.
There were Monday Qs for both but they didn’t expand the amount of spots available despite the field being short.
It makes no sense that if the players are competitive in the Monday (as an example Fred Biondi, who was an All-American and made pga tour cuts this season) missed at the first Monday) that they wouldn’t expand the spots available.
Some of the Mondays are in remote places and there aren’t competitive scores, so I understand not expanding in those cases.
But it’s the Double-A equivalent, why would they limit playing opportunities and not fill the field.
In 2024 Danny Walker watched from outside the ropes as friends and fellow @UVAMensGolf teammates played @THEPLAYERS.
One year later the @PGATOUR rookie plays the weekend after getting in the field as a last-minute alternate.
