The PGA of America has no plans to move next year’s championship out of Charlotte despite the North Carolina law limiting protections for LGBT people.
With the deepest field of any of the majors, predicting a PGA victor is always a challenge, made more so by the difficulties of the schedule and the various obstacles it has presented up to this point.
“When I first came out in 2006, I remember some of the cut lines were plus one and plus two, and now most of the cut lines are under par”. Lockers are in alphabetical order, and it doesn’t matter if they give lessons or make millions in PGA Tour earnings. 97 of the top 100 players in the world will compete and we took the time to break down the numbers in order to figure out the best combination of star talent and strong value options for this week’s fantasy action. Spieth won Hyundai Tournament of Champions at Kapalua in January, and then hoisted the trophy at the Dean & DeLuca Championship at Colonial, an event that is extra special to the Dallas native. “Each week that he played, he was pretty much in contention”. He could lose it this week if things fall right between himself and U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson. Not since 1994 has a club pro finished in the top 30. One chip dropped into the cup on its last turn.
Can the Big Three of Day, Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth – who won five of the six majors heading into this year – avoid getting shut out in the 2016 major-championship season? He earned $17,900 for the week and provided inspiration for the others. “I actually had a big learning curve yesterday where I played a few holes and I was signing so much; I probably shouldn’t have done as much on the course and then waited till after”. When reminded of that, he acts as if you just told him his tee time on Thursday.
Not that anyone is writing off the pair from contending at Baltusrol in New Jersey this week, but their status as underdogs underlines how quickly the sporting landscape can change.
“Every year it was a struggle”, Herman said. “If you can find ways to catch up on sleep, that’s the best way”. Are you good enough to win? “I should be good to go”. Obviously I like what I see.
“Lefty” would be the fourth-oldest major victor with a victory this week at 46 years, one month and 15 days. He’s 88th in the world because he has some game to go along with his supersized personality.
Naturally, Day concluded, “So I’m kind of running on E (empty) right now”. “Oh yeah”, Labritz said. You’ve got to keep putting yourself in position.
Following the dinner, Day’s wife had an allergic reaction and broke out in a severe rash that resulted in a call to the paramedics and a visit to the hospital that kept them there until 2 a.m. ET (0600 GMT) on Wednesday.
No other player in the world is performing at a higher level than D.J. right now and his incredible consistency is the biggest reason why we will lock him in as our second pick. It the last Major of year and everyone wants to close the season with one more good effort at a Major.
