Great putt by Blair to force 2nd playoff hole.

Who am I to judge, but that putting stroke is wild.

I think it was the hole before that it was very yippy looking where he missed a 3 footer. He just like picked it straight up and popped it rather than pendulum type look.

Again, no judgement. It was just like oh damn, a true “one of us” moments like that Willy Z clip that makes the rounds every now and then.

Looks like former tiger and Superior Grill spokesman Philip Barbaree Jr. qualified in West Palm

ESPN ticker said Homa and caddie have split. Assuming it happened before tee off

Earlier I said it was cool he carried his own bag and I still think it was, but he should have got someone to carry for him on the last 18. You proved your point. I know these guys obviously walk a lot but as a guy that likes to backpack his own clubs most of the time, backpacking 36 is tough. He admitted afterwards he was very tired. Those shoulders were probably burning and he three putted from 25 feet on 18 that would have gotten him a spot.

I would have just asked someone in the stands if they wanted to carry for me. Told the person he just wanted the same three things out of his caddie that Jack Nicklaus did... 1) Show up, 2) keep up, 3) Shut up. Those last 18 would have been much easier for him.
