Jake Knapp Water Punishment reminded us why this event is excellent

Classic recognition has been in importance over the years. Always so little, but still faded. There are four tournaments at this pace in Florida and ranks fourth for many people. Okay okay to say so.

It was once Honda Classic – the automotive manufacturer sponsored the event for more than 40 years, but they continued When things began to become weird in Pro Golf in the last seasons. The event once to attract Tiger Woods and Rory Mcilroy and Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson – Jupiter’s crew – but none of those boys have played since 2022. Pro-member seminole And some tgl at night. Koepka and Johnson are in Singapore.)

But the classic cognitive pushes mainly for those who are not on the scope of the next week’s signature event, or who are not in good condition, or who are not in great condition in the world rankings. It is a place to remove it for more before anywhere else, but most importantly, it is a place to see if you have any mettle. This is what PGA National remembers us constantly, and did so once again this week. It was not just Sunday when players had to stroll through the bear trap in their typons. It was the week as a whole.

In a supervised golf course with softened conditions, the best modern players – built mainly from the numbers to be repeated robots – will take this course. Jake KNAPP was our aggressive boss, Filming a 59 with a closing meeting – The way you would prefer to shoot 59 if you were a Tour Pro. He led him extremely, which is Jake Knapp Golf. He is not known for his short game, his determined or iron game. He is Average PGA Tour In many points, but above the average distance and very below average in accuracy. But in the days when he IS correct? Care. That was Thursday.

Fifty -nine are quite rare that they still feel special, though their lore is, like the event, fading as well. A 59 is quite special that if it comes to the opening round, all the eyes of the tournament are closed on you now. There were 15 59, but only five have led to victory. Do not fill too much in snack and break the entity.

KNAPP would never pull that round twice. He has not been made to bloom in this golf course. He is made to bloom in large, wide courses without water everywhere. You can ignore those risks for 18 happy holes, but eventually they will greet you. As you answer says a lot. KNAPP made a couple on Friday when he met those risks for the first time, but otherwise kept his ball dry all weekends. He withdrew Sunday with superiority and appeared in cruise control, up to a stroke when he found the 11th road.

But on Sunday back nine in the National PGA can feel a little like the walls slowly being integrated from the inside. Misss tend to arise other losses.

So when KNAPP mistreats his wedge to 11, leaving him green, partially immersed in the water, we must give him credit for the recovery exam with a shoe. Even if he has not had much practice with this blow, every player on the field has imagined how they will have to play it. We have seen Bill Haas and Henrik Svenson do it, creating the highlights of the PGA Tour games for the years ahead.

But KNAPP made an emphasis on negative variety.
