🏌️ Which was more important for Rory McIlroy at the Masters: finally completing the career Grand Slam or winning his first major championship in 11 years?
🏌️ Justin Rose, who at age 44, got into a playoff with McIlroy at the Masters, was as gracious in defeat as anyone could imagine. Are you now a Rose fan?
🏌️ Bryson DeChambeau found himself briefly in the lead in the final round of the Masters despite hitting his irons poorly all week. Were you surprised how good his short game is?
🏌️ The next major, the PGA Championship next month, is at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, where McIlroy has won three times and has recorded a 61. Like his chances?
🏌️ The RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, is a signature event with a limited field and has more top players in the field than perhaps ever. Is that worth the $20 million price tag the week after the Masters?
🏌️ Rangefinders are allowed to measure distance at the RBC Heritage, an experiment by the PGA Tour. Will their use make any difference in pace of play?
🏌️ Justin Thomas shot 61 in the first round at Harbour Town, which shares the course record. But he missed a four-footer on the last hole for 60. Doesn’t that kind of sum up his last couple of years?
🏌️ Wesley Bryan, a former winner of the RBC Heritage and a golf influencer, was suspended by the Tour for participating in a YouTube video with LIV Golf players. Is the Tour being petty? Exactly what was the harm?
🏌️ Speaking of influencers, Grant Horvat has received a sponsor’s exemption to play in the Tour’s Barracuda Championship in July. He’s still undecided about accepting it. Should he play?
