Anyone know what Greg Norman's up to?
'bout 6'0"

That second playoff hole was great drama. Imagine how crazy it would have been with a gallery.
First playoff hole was epic.

Yeah it was. And that final threesome was comprised of guys who are going to win a lot of tournaments. Of course, Thomas already has. All three are solid players with great swings and short games.
Not sure I can think of many tournaments with those kinds of swings in the final group. JT starts up a couple and immediately makes 2 bogeys while Collin and Viktor go to -7 combined in the first 5 holes. Back 9 sees JT goes -5 in a 6 hole stretch with an eagle that looked to have clinched it. Then he trips up the way in and the fireworks really got going. Pretty awesome.
Seemed to me like Justin fell in love with his 3 wood and couldn't get away from it. He'd been crushing driver but got in a lot of trouble laying back while Collin just smoked driver over and over on 18.
Agree on all, except Hovland can't chip and Morikawa is a statistically awful putter. If he becomes even average, he's a top 5 player in the world. So pure.
Tiger had that 1-2 year period where he had the chip yips, though. I thought that would plague him for the rest of his career, but not so much.
PGA has now announced no fans for the remainder of the season (the 2019-2020 season ends in September).
The ratings for PGA events have been killing it since the tour returned. Nice to be the only game in town.
As to Hovland's chipping, that seems like something that stays with you for your career too. I can't think of any bad chippers off the top of my head who later seriously improved in that department. Whereas for folks like Westwood, Mahan, Kaymer and Brittany Lincicome, that has plagued them throughout their careers.
I think it's cool how often Morikawa and Wolff have contended this early in their careers. They seem to be decent guys as well.
Hovland is such a stud. His ball striking is next level. I actually think his scrambling stats are so bad because he can't putt. I followed him closely of late and it's his putting inside 15 feet that is holding him back.
