What's Haas struggling with these days?
PTSD? Who knows? I’m sure that car accident really rattled him. He’s lucky to be alive.

^^^^^^
Indeed, had the rib injury and then a weird sternum issue (wasn't a bone contusion but maybe a tendon to muscle where the pec meets the bone?) that set him back as well. Unfortunately for Sneds, what makes him a great putter (short pop-stroke tempo) is also what generally makes him an erratic driver. If he could slow that transition down a bit with a longer back-swing, he might keep it in the short-grass enough to win a major. Thinking the "old man" run at the Claret Jug in his 39-41 years might be his best bet.
I only saw Simpson’s tee shot on 18. It looked to be out of bounds right and he then hit a provisional way left in trouble. So I assume if he made bogey he had to find the first in bounds?
Ed Hardin's column today:
Sedgefield Country Club was a golf course resurrected from near death in April, but it was transformed into a pristine challenge for some of the best golfers in the world playing the last tournament of the regular season.
I assume the "near death" comment refers to the course condtion and not some internal issues at the club; what's the story?

Brandt Snedeker with wire to wire win. Doesn't happen often on the PGA tour.
The tournament was rigged. Pretty easy to win when the stupid Wyndham Wizard keeps making your ball go in the hole.
These statements also seem to be a bit inaccurate. This was a weak field where -21 under won the tourney and the course gave up a 59. Calling it a challenge is a bit of hyperbole.
I'm assuming you've never played the course before with that assessment? It is a very challenging course when set up under tour conditions. Sure, it is not as long as some of the tracks the USGA or PGA like to offer up for their majors, but it is plenty tough. Just because someone shoots a 59 or is 20 shots under par for the week doesn't mean the course isn't tough. It just means these guys play a different game from the rest of us.
Read my post again. I said it wasn't a challenge for the best golfers in the world (which was true). Of course it would be more difficult for me or an average golfer. One of the weakest fields of the year ate it up. The best golfers in the world weren't even there.
