I think they have to give it a little chance. You can’t give someone $5 mil for 2 weeks.

But it doesn’t look good.

Rory with a 30 on the back 9 including driving a 400 yard par 4. His best is still the best

Liv needs to kill this Anthony Kim thing with fire.

He’s awful.


He just had his best round out of his 4 competitive rounds so far.
4 birdies & 4 bogeys. 1 double
2nd round in a row with only 26 putts.

He’s 54th in GIR hitting 14/36.
If he can just fix whatever his issue is tee to green, he could actually compete.

Finished with 7 birdies & a 65
T5th best score in round 3

Only 23 putts in round 3. He was the best putter on LIV this weekend with 75 putts total.

Is AK back?

Had a fun filled day at the API yesterday.

Walked in on 6 and saw the video board show “8th shot for Knapp.” Couldn’t find him anywhere, then realized he was still about 400 yards out

Followed Spieth and Rory with Ryan Ruffles for a bit. Really nice guy.

Looked to my left on 18 early in the day and realized I was standing right next to that dude who won the women’s event It took me aback for a second and they caught me just, awkwardly staring at them.

Got stopped by an older gentleman waking up 18 who said “quick, name an Alabama player in the field!” I replied Dunlap and he gave me a ball signed by him. The man walked with their group and kept their official score. I tried to find a kid in Alabama gear to give it to, but with no luck. So, now I have this random Dunlap signed ball

I'm happy AK had a good round, but this line made me chuckle. If he could just figure out 80% of the game, he'd compete.

Yeah, we’re talking about Anthony Kim though not some amateur. He still shot a 65 without hitting very many fairways today

Highlights

6700 yard course. He plays on a 6600 yard course in Macao this week as well

Doral is going to be tough tough for him with his ball speed numbers.

Scottie needs either to move to the broomstick or armlock or go to Brad Faxon and beg him to teach him to putt.

I guess the Spider switch worked

I don't think he'll ever be a great putter, but he's so incredible at most everything else, he's still the best player in the world. He has a shot at winning every week even if he just putts decent.

LIV tournament was pretty solid too. I'm a big Cam Smith fan so I found myself watching that tournament. Ancer almost choked it away but pulled it together in the playoff.

He used to be a very good putter, but really starting around the Masters last year is when the drop off happened.

Putting can just be so mental it’s tough to get it back to where you were if there isn’t some sort of change.
