Wells Fargo Championship Wilmington, NC

Here comes DJ. Dude is an absolute beast.

The crowd really appreciated that magic at #7 by the great Phil Mickelson. :)

 

Is Phil amazing? One month shy of his 47th birthday and he is still in the OWGR's top 20.

 

Since the inception of the OWGR (April 1986) no player has logged more weeks in the top 20 than Phil.

Yet he's never been #1. Goes back to the question of whether you'd rather be a Luke Donald to get to #1 for a short time and fall off or never be #1 but have the consistency of someone like Phil.

 

Same goes for Charles Howell III on TOUR. Just two wins but he's usually in the top 100 of the money list every year.

Id rather have that Phil cash.

 

Heard he turned that T-Rex skull into a cool chandelier in the dining room.

Never reaching the #1 spot is certainly a hole in Phil's CV, but I'm sure he values longevity and consistency a little more, as I'm sure most people would.

One thing that I think that might have helped (a HUGE understatement) Phil get to #1 was to have won a US Open. Points for that .... large.

 

Also, he had the Tiger effect, which, admittedly, many others had also, but between Phil's self-imposed implosions at the US Open, Tiger's amazing run...to have stayed in the top 20 for the length of time that he has...I would take that as opposed to #1 any day, any time any where.

 

Too bad that I can't get out to the Wells Fargo today. Guess I'll just have to do with watching it on TV, with no 700 yard hikes to an un-air conditioned bathroom, no crowds in front of my TV, no $9.75 beers.....wait, I guess I don't really have it all that bad!

Is that really a question......Phil's career or Luke's?

no tickets? Or just couldn't make it

[PGArox]

Wow, I guess DJ has been living right ... lately. :)

 

He has turned his life around. :)

Putt, putt, commercial, Nantz diatribe.....ugh

[PGArox]

Eagle Point sure has shined this week. Beautiful course in a beautiful part of the country; immaculately conditioned. They really got a break this week with breezy days and low humidity; perfect golf weather.

[2putttom]

KYMAR to soon for me to call it 4 for 4 ?

[PGArox]

Putt, putt, commercial, Nantz diatribe.....ugh

 

I'm tellin' you, there really is an art to watching golf on TV these days. In addition to the broadcast, you need at least four or five website pages opened, a dose of YouTube, and some Zep or Stones blasting in the background. Feeling no pain. :)

Does Rahm ever hit a shot and not act like some terrible injustice has befallen him?

I heard he once snapped his club in half after a hole-in-one. :)

[PGArox]

Hear that crowd for Phil? He has gone backward today, completely out of contention ... holes an almost meaningless 20 foot birdie and the crowd goes nuts. Great to hear. :)

[PGArox]

Is Amanda Balionis gorgeous, or what? :)

He was imitating Chuck Norris :)

she's got them crazy eyes though. gotta be careful of that.

[NoFancyUsername.]

Rahm just gave a thumbs up...he's happy.

[MtlJeff]

Yeah but he's nowhere near as bad as [insert any player under 30 who is on TV a lot] is!

[Jasonic]

I know it's a dead horse but can someone fire Gary McCord. He is not as funny as he thinks.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Champions tour might be more exciting at the moment

Actually, had complimentary tickets, but don't much care for crowds, and can't see all the action around the course when you're there "live"

 

Was there for the first round, and have a good feel for the course, and what the players are facing.

Sure is, that's why I'm looking at Greg...for some reason lol

[PGArox]

What a fine performance from the beast otherwise known as Dustin Johnson. Misses a month like it's no problem. What a stud.
