is making hay since winning with his brother. Did well last week with a top 10 finish and has the 54-hole lead this week. I thought he was riding Matt's coat tail but seems that he is pretty good on his own.

That dudes last month has been insane.

If he wins tomorrow it would be a great story.

You were a casual for thinking that. Dude was ranked 7th on DP World Tour (top 10 get a PGA card). He had also won a couple weeks before the Zurich. In his only tour event a couple years ago, he finished 16th in the PGA Championship, including some stints on the leaderboard.

He's legitimately probably a top 10 player in the world right now if you exclude the Rahm 's and Dechambeau's of the world.

He's a very good player. He's always been a good player. The margins are incredibly tight once you are in the top 1000 in the World. All it takes is a couple good rounds and any of these guys can get hot and get on a run.

Hell, there is even a YouTuber doing well at the Myrtle event this week. Ryen Ruffles.

Ruffles was a tour player before, not just some random you tuber.

That's a stretch.

He's playing like a top 50 right now. How bout we let him settle for a bit before we anoint him the next Scotty.

Name the other top 10 golfers on the DP world tour without looking.

Yeah that front 9 and about 3 missed 4 footers at Quail Hollow says otherwise.
