    How can you complain about that tee shot 
    Great shot.   I just think it shouldn’t be so close to the last few holes.  To me there is an element of luck on a driveable par 4 with a shot of that distance.

    Morikawa is awesome though.  Glad he won.

    In all fairness, outside of 17, he didn’t have to putt

    This is a very bad loss for DJ’s career 
    Hard to find others that have his talent, but for whatever reason he can’t consistently close the deal. 

    We may be witnessing a star in the making. Kid seems legit. Good for him!

    That’s what I meant to add. I thought he took some job but I haven’t seen him that I can remember

    I got to Whistling Straits on Sat for the first time.  Carried my own bag for 36.  What a day!  Some strong Ireland vibes.

    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Awesome!   Are you playing any other courses around there?  Looking into a buddies trip there next July.

    36 carrying your own bag.  I would have begged for a push cart.  How did you shoot?

    Awesome! Course looks great and love the wild sheep. Definitely going to get there sometime and play both WS and Blackwolf Run. It’s a sin that I haven’t made it there considering how close it is. Could you have gotten a caddie or did you just prefer to carry your own bag? Must have been an awesome experience.

    They have a ton of caddies.  Usually they are mandatory on the Straits course, but not this year due to covid.  I played the Irish course first, then got the replay rate for the Straits course, which saved substantial cash.  The Bull at Pinehurst Farms is another great course in the area that I would recommend, designed by Jack Nicklaus, very close to Blackwolf Run.
    I've seen quite a few Pearl Jam shows.

    Caught some of the US Amateur last night from Bandon Dunes.  Holy shit that place is beautiful....definitely a bucket list trip at some point.  Looking forward to watching that the next few days.

    This Am is awesome. My only complaint is that with the short window of coverage, we are seeing a lot of the same holes.
