2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill

[3jacker]

Hatton's temper has gotten him there, he should roll with it. Folks that are put off by it can stuff it, their reaction is their problem.

I like his antics, they add to the entertainment value of the product. He doesn't destroy the golf course a la Sergio, or whine/blame everything and everybody else a la Bubba.

It was a great finish, I enjoy a dramatic battle either between players or between the players and the course/conditions coming down the stretch. Anyone who prefers to watch a birdie barrage can have that too. I like all types of golf, as long as it's a battle. And this certainly was.

The wind and rough and hard/fast greens cannot be overstated. I was out there on Sat and was really getting a kick out of the discussions these guys were having and the shots they were hitting. No. 2, the long par 3, was really interesting. Never seen it played with a lay-up before in all my years attending this tournament. Most guys did just that (either intentionally or unintentionally).

The most consistent player is probably Rory. He's up there every week. Im has had a good couple of weeks for sure, but he's a long way to go to be considered the best player on tour.

No doubt Rory should be doing even better, though. Some of his mistakes are really odd.

As for Hatton, he's known for the temperament. He's actually got a LOT better. There was a time when he'd throw his clubs all round the course! He gets down on himself too easily , but seems like a decent chap. I was very pleased for him.

 

[Jay28]

Hmm, don;t know about that. Biggest in terms of money and points I suppose, but if I could pick a tournament that he has won it would be the Alfred Dunhill Links.

[3jacker]

Dude, cmon. Write this one off.

[Darth Putter]

Winning at Bay Hill is like winning the BMW PGA, maybe even a little better.

Winning the Dunhill Links is about the same as winning the Texas Open or the Mayakoba, except you get a lot less money.

[stingerfade]

Except you play kingsbarns, carnoustie and the old course in one tournament. To be able to win on those three classics is better than bay hill and the Mayakoba combined.

[Darth Putter]

If the where is all that matters, then is the Pebble Beach Invitational better than the Dubai World Championship?

He said, “Boy hidee” yesterday. Heath Barkley references are welcome!

[gvogel]

i wonder if Rory would like to have the driver back in the bag, the one that he used last year to win the Players, the Canadian Open and the Tour Championship?

[tiderider]

yeah, i get tired of hearing pros say "a par 3 doesn't need to be long to be interesting" ... no, it doesn't, but there's also nothing wrong with a very long, very hard par 3 that requires you to play to a spot and then make a very good putt or chip to set up a par putt ...

[OBbogey5]

Can we figure out a solid nickname for Im

 

He’s going to play in six thousand more tournaments and I keep thinking it’s a misspelled “I’m”. Thank you

[iBanesto]

Im's name in Korean is 임성재.

We can type 임성재 when referring to him to make it easier for everyone.

[gripz]

WRX be like “why isn’t he playing blueprints wayyy toooo much offset and can’t stand THICKKKKKK top line on those i210s”

[stingerfade]

Last week people wanted him to speak English. Now his last name is too confusing (2 letters haha). How about respect him for who he is and let him be himself.

Blame Tiger.

None of these Yahoo's were around prior to 1996.

Ya! If it wasn't for Tiger, those same 50,000 drunken frat boys that show up for events now yelling "bababooey" and "mashed potatoes" would all be just like

 

 

[stingerfade]

If it wasn’t for tiger there’s be 49,999 less frat boys there to begin with!
