KN with the KO

 

Gettin paid. Should crack $30MM here.

 

[mukster]

Go Kev brah!!!

 

Love it when this dude plays well!!

[hybrid25]

I don't think Caddy's should have the power to have someone ejected, leave that up to the PGA officials. Although, there are many many ignorant fans that do deserve to be tossed from the course, especially the Jas that yell right when I golfer swings.

Another point, I used to be an avid Jordan Spieth fan but he is really wearing me out with his lack of mental stability.

[salmon1a]

OK that little girl is damn cute and Kudos for Na on giving the car to his caddie!

[Divot2]

I love Kevin Na and glad he took it home. Also giving that Challenger to his caddie, now that’s awesome!!!

[bladehunter]

Na giving his caddie the car he just won. Told ya. Nice dude.

[Darth Putter]

It's been a mediocre year for Kevin Na before this week, this is only his third top 10 for the year. This is the third win of his PGA Tour career and moves him well inside the cutline of the Top 50 in the OWGR to make the British Open.

[Darth Putter]

Patrick Reed still not in the Top 5, but guess who's back...

 

[TheMoneyShot]

Congrats to Na. His apparel line is still awful though?

You called it well Speeef finished with a bird at 18. Only birdie of the day. LOL

Is WAAC his brand? I agree it’s bad, I just assumed it is some obscure Korean brand with him as an “ambassador”. I liked the SOHI hats he used to wear.

 

[Ronnie Mundt]

Congrats to Na tho, I really like watching him ply because it’s always entertaining. Win or lose the dude isn’t boring. Seems like a really nice dude too.

Ha!

 

Kuchar be like,

 

"Sure buddy you can take it for a spin. Just hit the gas station and fill it up on the way back"

"WAAC shirts run about $105 each for men, with pants coming in around $220." If you can smoke a Cohiba and drink Dom Perignon you can afford to wear this lovely attire :D

[KrazyTrain18]

Na is one of the good guys on tour, glad to see him win again. Colonial is easily one the best tracks on tour and it's great the event will continue on.

I hope so. Golf has a heritage and it should not be forgotten. Long live the Hawk.

The SOHI hat is for Southern Highlands his home course in Vegas. He wore it when he didn't have a club deal. WAAC is a Korean clothing company, it is an acronym for Win At All Costs.

Could be a useful tax dodge for Kuch though, he should take note.

 

[flushem]

Glad to see my local boy won. I used to see him and his caddie practicing at long-gone Empire Lakes.

 

I was touched by his remark when greeted by little daughter, "daddy has won the first place, my little baby" in Korean. Awesome way to celebrate a big win @ Colonial.

I'd say a mediocre year when you easily qualify to make the British Open isn't really all that mediocre. He only had 4 top 10's last year and 1 win as well. Might even be better than his 2014-15 years when he ranked 23 and 25 OWGR. He's a pretty decent player having won 3 times on the PGA tour and 2 more other times worldwide. Also through all these years he's been able to survive and make a ton of money and be ranked pretty comfortably in the top 100 except for a fluke year in 2013. I would say if you would have a way of ranking all the PGA tour players ever, he's probably in the top 10 percent. A lot of guys just don't make it, and most don't get 1 win, much less 3. Poor Finau, widely considered a better golfer, still only has 1 win.

Anyone find it odd how many tourneys there are where the “Pack” is always 3-4 shots behind the leader? Kind of seems framed for the leader.

Just seeing if anyone else finds it a bit odd.

FYI, Na's pre-round winning odd was 50/1. whoever bet on him had nice gain.

[cpeck]

happy for kevin’s win. the best part and made

me like him and his caddie even more was the family values i saw when kevin presses on to go sign the score card and kenny did not hesitate to pick the daughter up and carry her up the stairs etc. it’s a great bond they must have on and off the course.

Not odd when you look at scoring....when someone has 3 great rounds in a row which is uncommon it will usually separate them from the pack.

[cinnepa]

Congrats to Na...really enjoy watching him. At the other end i just hate watching Speith anymore. If its not going good, the brat comes out....not a fan.

> They said Na is already over a hole behind. Can we please put them on the clock and penalize him? Perfect time to do it, but it’ll never happen

 

At least, he isn't holding up the group behind him.> @MIgolfer20 said:

Kuchar will probably sit down with Na in the locker room, and discuss it at the Memorial. " What are you doing, Kevin? Your caddy already had a pretty good week. You deducted the value of the car from the winners share, right?'

[Mike_C]

Congrats to Kevin, I must admit, I was pulling for Tony Finau, but love seeing Na win also, I like to see guys conquer their demons.

I went to the tournament on Friday, followed Tony for about 9 holes and saw a a lot of others. I find it interesting that some of the longest hitters and shortest hitters were near the top, Colonial is that sort of course. But was it just me, I thought I saw a lot of below average putting in general, those greens are bent grass, I would expect these guys to love these greens, but I saw so many really bad reads and some very poor speed control.

[imakaveli]

Well done Kevin, the tournament, the car and the attitude!

Yes - I was aware of all of this.
