Van Rooyen at 50/1.

Hmmm. I might put $1K on the bearded man in his kid's pajama bottoms for that kinda payout...

Hell, I live here in FL and agree with that. Most of our courses all look the same.

Bay Hill looks different to me because I'm usually there in person. But yep, mostly flat, water, a few palms. Kinda boring.

What that course needs is more water. Just go ahead and do 18 island greens and get it over with.

 

And after perusing the satellite images the more I think what it would really be suited for is jet boat races in the lakes and canals. Frankly I am disappointed a bit that the canals are not all interconnected and you can't get out to the waterway to get out to the ocean proper from the course and housing.

Not the worst either. I agree it was not exactly epic, the holes down the stretch at chatachuwhatever gives no room for drama, but good guys up there and I quite enjoyed it. Not as much as our western, rich, neighbours enjoyed the Puerto Rico event but it was ok.

that said, PGA national is certainly a course that can produce drama. Its normally what I see as the start of the most interesting part of the US tour. The field is not as strong as with earlier schedules but good enough, with Koepka and a strong international participation. Van Rooyen has been going stronger and stronger and seems to become the next top south afrrican. But those pants aint pretty.

True, but I think they are interesting and a good warm up for Augusta. The Honda is windy and the bear trap is fun too watch. Bay hill is iconic. Copperhead no comment never seem to watch that one, and the Players is a great one I like that it is earlier in the year now.

I'm seriously considering wearing a pair to my Sunday skins game. I think it could give me an advantage over the competition. Anything to mess with their minds.

Flushem didn't give us the over/under on the number of times the words "Bear Trap" will be used this week. I think it's 612.

 

OWGR update

SoF 267 with first place points of 46

That is down slightly from last year's 298/48

 

Rory will stay #1 even if Brooks wins

 

 

The Monday qualifier field had

12 players with at least 1 PGA Tour win and 23 total wins

41 total Korn Ferry Tour wins

5612 career starts

and career earnings of over $200,000,000

Eh...the API is doing just fine....the Honda and Valspar are suffering. As for the Florida swing - the API and TPC seems to be the strongest fields.
