Great stuff. Number 3 amateur in the world. First A winner since Filthy Phil at the Phoenix Open in 1991. Not the prettiest of swings but like a lot of US collegiate golfers, very hard nosed. Proved it at the US Amateur too. Big implosion by Burns.

Yeh, Burns 1 up with 3 to play. Stuffs up the par 5, chokes the infamous 17th and again on 18.

I don’t think he’s winning any majors or TPC’s or such, so get as much cash as you can son. Think he has had some back issues too, so all the more reason to cash in perhaps.
Heh heh heh the American commentators didn’t know what to do with themselves this week with foreigners dominating at Torrey Pines (ordinary course). Impressive win by Pavon.
Schauffele did his usual trick of getting into the top 10 but not winning, and Finau’s putting is as dodgy as Scottie Snuffler’s.

Wasn't it great to see the euros at the top of the leaderboard!
Lots of very impressive talent all over the world
Outstanding field at The Peb this week. What a course. Torrey - ordinary. But the Peb - spectacular.
McIlroy, Snuffler, The Hovercraft, Spieth, Schauffele, Cantlay, Homa, Burns, Aberg, Morikawa, Fleetwood, Thomas, Finau, Cameron Young, Hatton, Matsuyama….and many others.
Awesome field.

Sad, lets hope they sort out a world tour, golf isn't the same without the WUG
Pebble started, great field and good to see a bit of wind.
Only early but Shuffles up to his usual tricks - 1st in GIR/78th in putting
PGA Tour gets $3 billion from SSG. Problem is, nobody, not even the players, knows what this means where the Tour and LIV is concerned. Two tours ? One tour ? And dozens of other questions.
Will say it again for the umpteenth time the last 5 years: Jay Monahan is an absolute screaming dud who should have been dumped by the players 10 years ago. Worst sports administrator ever. Incompetent, untrustworthy. A complete and utter dud.
I haven't been following it much. Googled SSG. Seems complicated, hurts my brain thinking about it.

The PGA Tour has a new $3 billion partner (and it's not the Saudi PIF!). Here are answers to 15 burning questions about the SSG deal.

Ultimately, I just want o continue to see the best players duking it out at the big events. The majors are going to be poorer if the best players aren't competing against each other. But I'm old and have grown up loving the majors and the theatre they create. If we don't get the best fields in the majors I won't have the same enthusiasm for them.
But you cannot blame players for taking obscene amounts of cash to play anywhere.
SSG is a co-op of wealthy sports franchise owners. FSG (who own the Red Sox and Liverpool), and a bunch of other owners of the likes of the Boston Celtics, NY Mets, etc. Steve Cohen who owns the Mets, is worth about $18 billion alone.I haven't been following it much.

They clearly want to privatise the PGA Tour into a for-profit business and are prepared to invest huge amounts to do so and are incentivising players by giving them equity in the business.
But what that means v LIV and how it will work for the game globally, who knows. Especially when the Tour has said it’s open to PIF also investing in the new Tour enterprise. I don’t think they (Tour and LIV) know themselves.
Yeh, ultimately none of those groups/guys have purely altruistic motives for the sport. Someone has to pay for it.
The more sports become manufactured events the less interest I have in them.
At the end of the day - and I’ve said this a few times now - both LIV and the Tour wanna worldwide premium golf tour a la F1 that they can own and profit from. The PGA Tour should have moved in this direction 30 years ago but was too dumb, lazy and American centric to do so.
In that respect, I don’t mind LIV rocking them to their core.
