It's not like he went there because he loves the longhorns. It was bc of coaches and teammates. And not like Justin Leonard where it's constant reminders of being a sip. Scottie is easy to root for.

Now that Scottie's putter has ejected him from the tournament feel like it's Rose or Schauffeles to take. Indifferent to either player so hopefully it's an exciting finish.

Just please don't be a dude named Thriston…

Lawrence looks solid. See if he can hold it together for 9 more holes.

And Billy leaking oil now.

Burns catching a train out of Troon. Spectacular flameout by that dude

I can't look at Horschel without thinking his hat says Libido on it

He can be a quirky dude at times which I imagine can turn some people off. He's one guy I tend to root for. He's run the gamet in life between his wife's alcoholism and the extended struggles with his game. His been atop of the golf world and almost to the bottom again.

But by all accounts he's a genuinely good dude and father and I can't imagine how hard he's had to work not only in his home life, but to find his form again. He may not win the Fedex cup again, but this is two tournaments now he's had a chance to win this year.

Wow...Billy's shot out of that grass.

Edit: I'm rooting for Xander to close it out though.

I think Xander's bag weighs more than his caddie

Does Rose have a deal with Puma? Sporting Nike and Millar while his caddie is wearing a Puma hat. I guess he let his caddie cut his own deal

Really wanted Justin to win this. But love love love watching a guy just go GET it.

Agree with all that but I don't think he can win with that stuff he does with the putter. So awkward

Assuming Xander closes this out, you take his season over Scheffler right? 2 majors is always better than 1 and a bunch of regular tournaments IMO.

Man it's really close. First player to back to back the Players and some BDE events in there for Scottie. I think I'd take the Majors though.

Also, Valhalla felt like anything but a major compared to the other three this year and Scottie was arrested which tarnished it some.

Masters and Players with four other wins vs. PGA and the Open?

Personally, I'd take Scottie's.

Going to be a fun final stretch for POY

The Masters makes it a tougher choice than it probably should be, but I take the multiple majors. As dominant as Scottie has been the past few years, Xander now has just as many majors. That's what gets remembered

I think you take the two majors.

Fantastic performance. Well deserved.

Glad Xander has that "can't close" stink off of him. He's a great player. Balled out on Sunday to win both.

Different players in different places. Xander has been a top 20 machine known for fading in the majors on Sunday. Got to believe what the last couple of months have done for his confidence is much bigger for him than Scottie. Not to mention how it's set him up for the playoffs.

Very well deserved for Xander. When you're on top of your game you gotta cash in and he absolutely did it this season.

Scottie would be 3/4 the way to a career grand slam if he had Xander's year. I think he'd take it too

Xander doesn't have to travel far to go to Paris for a chance to win his second gold medal.

The Masters and US Open have traditionally been the 2 he plays the best so a real chance for the career slam in the coming years for Xander.

Barring the PGA fiasco and the fact he can't putt, Scottie wins the GS. I don't think it's very ever seen someone who hits the ball that well who just can't do anything on the greens.
Bunk Moreland
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Big question will be can Scottie sustain that elite all round game, and if he can't how long does he have it.

Spieth was all but anointed 8 GS's years back. Could move it left and right, putt better than anyone, etc. Hell Rory too but sub putting for driving.

I think Scottie's game is going to be around for awhile. I think the putter is what it is though and going to be the only thing that dictates how many majors he wins. He was number one tee to green at Pinehurst and dead last in putting.

Billy and Rosey gotta be wondering what kind of train just hit them. They both met the challenge on Sunday to win a major and got fleeced. Xander was that good.

If Justin Rose wore this i would swear he has 2 daughters in Mays and was a '96 grad from the school of architecture. $2mm in his retirement accounts and talks with his friends about retiring when he hits 50. Life is good for Rosey in an alternate universe.

He looks like every Aggie dad I've ever known.
