I'm just observing the PGA/LIV fracas. It seems to be a choice of one or the other. Make your choice and live with it. No exceptions. None.
Joohyoung ("Tom") Kim 20 year-old golf phenom opened the Wyndham by carding a quad 8 on the first hole of the tournament. He has played the next 35 holes at -13, and he shares the Wyndham lead half-way through round 2. Realize there is a lot of tourney left (unlike LIV events), but wonder what the worst opening hole a PGAT winner has ever had.
Bill Haas misses the cut at the Wyndham. Looks like he will miss out on his card after using his one-time all-time money list exemption. Unfortunate but he should still get some starts next year.
Webb shows as WD after birdieing 17. He was 1 over, so he would have had to eagle 18 to make the cut. Currently projected as 123 on Fed Ex list, so he will be sweating out the weekend play. Injury?
Will closed with 2 eagles and a birdie over the last 6 holes to make the cut at -3…
Long time fan, but Haas has played like crap this season, particularly over the last few tournaments. He is all over the place with his driver recently, and has had knack of finding water. At the Rocket Mortgage, Haas started birdie birdie, and perhaps, he was going to make a push for the top 125 (the LIV defections helped), but after crushing his drive on the first par 5, he chose to lay up as there was a pond near the green. On his third shot, Haas was 105 from from the green, he chunked his wedge into the water, took double, and all momentum was gone. Haas shows glimpses of his past form, but he hasn't put it together for four consecutive rounds for a long time.
I too am a huge Bill fan but agree he hasn’t been the same since the accident. Guys on tour always talked about how much talent he has and not getting the results. I keep hoping he’ll bust out of the slump but it doesn’t look like it. He’s always been good to the Wyndham and Mark will forever give him a spot. His mom and dad were following him on Friday which was nice to see. Bill always contented here but now can make the cut.
Z firing his caddy after the round seems strange. I watched him play 17 and 18 and on each hole was walking 20 yards ahead. I’m not sure who was on the bag today but he did shoot a 66. Bad first round cost him.

Kim seems like a cool guy, so happy to see him cruise to the win. There are some seriously great rookie of the year candidates this year with Young, Kim, Riley, Perreira and Theegala at the top. Not sure I can remember a year with this many great rookies.
