Looks like another absolute stunning day out there today.
How is no one on a sports board talking about this?
Unlike those goobers physically at Kiawah who "watched" it thru their phones, we were watching it live on our couch in glorious hdtv. But to your point, it was a great event and worth blowing s Sunday afternoon being dialed in.
Having just worked and spent most of the week at Quail Hollow and Kiawah, the PGA significantly understaffs on the course and has poor quality volunteers. It's no surprise they couldn't protect the players when half the marshalls are snapping pictures instead of watching the crowd when the big names come through.
I left before the end yesterday but I'd imagine some changes will be made before they head to Tulsa next year. With the volunteer fee well above the uniform cost ($250ish if I recall), they can even spin it internally as a profitability boost.
Watched a lot myself. They needed a little more crowd control at the end. Phil and Brooks got eaten up by the crowd. Just a little dangerous.
God what a great time it was out there this weekend. I've never seen a more rowdy crowd. I hope the PGA brings it back in 2030 or whenever the next open slot is.
