Smylee Kaufman tracker

[Krt22]

Today in Hartford:

 

Good news: Birdied last hole to not finish DFL

Bad news: Still shot an 80

 

Is he even a plus handicap any longer?

 

His scoring average is 74.5...most PGA tour courses in tournament conditions are 75+/150ish so yes most likely

[PZero]

Ever since that Natty Lite contract, he has gone down hill.

[Llortamaisey]

Ever since that Natty Lite contract, he has gone down hill.

 

When you get a big contract like that from a well known brand, it comes with expectations. I’m not trying to make excuses for him but he has definitely felt the pressure that comes from the responsibility of being a Natty Light athlete.

[manku]

Looking at shot tracker today on PGAtour website, he is missing both ways...rinsed tee shots on 15 and 17 (left and right).

 

78 for +18 over two days, and DFL.

 

Ugh.

[PZero]

DFL

There's no way Smylie beats a 4 HDCP at Augusta National.

He would need to be invited to play first...

[warrio17]

His stats are woeful... all of them. Feel for the guy. I've made way more money than him this year!

According to PGA tour he's made 201K YTD... If you've made way more I'm impressed.

 

My first thought... Second thought.. are you hiring?

[webber]

More than a slump this guy puts up 80+ almost every time.

[Ping Zings]

He needs a new tee.

How big could his deal be?

[Brass_Bullseye]

Since 1/1 his average score is 75. He’s shot 80 or worse six times.

Maybe he’s trying to get to the friggin Catalina Wine Mixer. Boats and Hos

or an LPGA tour pro and Jones of GRX fame.

Ugh.

 

Everyone misses it both ways.

Finally someone gets the joke!!

[Burt Chance]

Can he get out of the basement of the leaderboard?

Another miss cut

 

I grew up playing junior golf with Smylie (well, we played at our home course a good bit growing up). He was four years younger than me. I think we played up until I was 15 and he was 11. I think I beat him twice.

 

Nice guy. Great family. Married life, injury and high profile friends aren't always a good combo. He was least equipped to handle the "Spring Break" fame. Once he really decides to turn things around, I have no doubt he'll play some good golf.

[tarheelsfan105]

would the (Augusta) round be played under tournament conditions?

[bhazelri33]

79 today. I keep hoping I will check and see a sub 70s round. I hope he figures it out.

[FiveSixAce]

He withdrew after today's 79.

WD for SK

[Creedo77]

Man, what is wrong with this guy

[Ping Zings]

[JaNelson38]

Man, what is wrong with this guy

 

Missed nine putts inside of 10 feet today, with 5 of those being from 6 feet and closer.

 

Guy has made just ONE cut since October. One!

 

Im personally shocked he hasnt just put the clubs in the corner somewhere and taken a bunch of time off to get his head and/or life straight. Its clear he needs it. Hopefully whatever personal demons are eating him up get taken care of, because its clear his focus isnt on his golf game.

Ive heard he has the driver yips

[Sean2]

I can't imagine how frustrated he must be. For us, it would be like a guy who normally shoots in the 70s all of a sudden unable to break 100.

[2much2ask]

Today my wife and I were enjoying a day free of kids at the Greenbrier and unexpectedly saw Smylee in I believe the 13th (par 5) fairway. He had a long iron in hand for what was about a 220 approach shot. We couldn't believe it, he absolutely hit a worm burner about 100 yards dead right and one of the players (not sure who) in the group in front of him had to jump to avoid the ball hitting him.

I've been to a lot of PGA events, and have never seen a skull like this one. You could tell from his body language he was not only embarrassed but looked like he just wanted to go home and hide.

We felt so bad for the guy as he seems like a nice kid who is just steering the ball and who has lost his last vestige of confidence!

Good luck Smylee!

[Krt22]

Could a legit 4hcp who plays on tough courses (72+/135+) beat SK?

[Creedo77]

Can anyone find the tournament where it all went wrong for him?

 

Has to be somewhere in the last 18 months
