Patrick Cantlay

Recommended Posts

I've been rooting for Patrick Cantlay ever since I came across the article about his best friend and his injury. Just goes to show how determined he is and how good a player he is to come back and play on an exemption. Now with that win, he can get the "employment" worries out of the way and hopefully cruise on to more victories.

 

Before the second shot on the second playoff (which was gutsy and down right remarkable), he had to make a long bogey putt to extend the match with the other two gents!

 

Way to go, Patrick! Can't wait to watch more of this kid.

Only thing, will his back be the second most (in)famous in the golfing world?

 

He has a 2 hour stretching regimen before playing and after playing that would discourage me to live life let alone play golf. Im rooting for him, hes a tremendously skilled player who caught a bad break getting hurt badly. Great come back story last year.

Great to see Cantlay get his first tour win. I photographed him years ago when he shot 60 at the Travelers as an amateur. Cool customer and recently he’s served notice that he will be a strong contender week in and week out, assuming he just stays healthy.

His swing also seems like it won't be putting a lot of unnecessary stress on the back.

So basically he's in the same position I'm in. Watching the U.S. open from home.

 

It's good to know that he's still got it. Remember he has only played 6 pro events since he last won one of the web.com Tour Finals events all the way back in 2013.

 

He has what?

 

Yeah my bad I screwed that up. He has only played 6 times since Aug/Sept of 2013.

 

Yah, that's what I meant..

Any comments Hogans? Cantlay seems to have overcome quite a bit of adversity on and off the course....

His swing is money!!! My favorite on Tour.

 

2hrs of stretching is foolish, I doubt it.

 

Probably a 2hr routine which includes, among other things, lots of mobility and soft tissue work.

 

Hope the guy stays healthy. Love his demeanor, has grit in spades and doesn't seem like he's the type to fear anyone, or any shot, on a Sunday.

Love is attitude. He doesn't throw tantrums, gets $hitfaced, beyotches etc etc. :D Sorry J cough S cough fanboys. :D

It never did really.I believe unless i read wrong he had some genetic spinal anomaly, not scoliosis but something similar. The muscles around the spine were weakened dramatically making him unable to swing. Kudos to him

The golf channel article said that while he was hitting balls in Colonial in 2012, he felt a very sharp pain in his low back, like someone stabbed a knife in his spine. The test results showed a stress fracture at L5. When you look at Tiger or Jason Day, you can pretty much see why they might have back problems. But looking at Cantlay’s swing on youtube prior to 2012, I can’t see how he could actually get a stress fracture. His swing looks so relaxed and effortless. Maybe its genetic who knows. My gut tells me this win is the spark. Jordan and JT better start looking over their shoulders.

I wish PLHR was still around. This would make him very happy. Wherever you are PLHR, I hope you enjoyed the win! :)

 

so true and funny...I'm sure PLHR is living high on the hog this week.

 

Hopefully the first W of many for young Cantlay!

If he can stay healthy, he's going to be a force to be reckoned with out there. Another really good young American.

 

Wouldn't mind seeing him on the Ryder Cup team next year in France...though he does have his work cut out for himself being in 44th place, just over a point behind Fred Couples.

I was catching up on the coverage earlier by streaming it over lunchtime. Thought that the internet had gone down...turns out it was just the PC standing over the putt taking his sweet damn time
