control each week For the unjustified thoughts of our writers and editors as they break down the hottest themes in this sport, and join in the conversation by tweeting us to us in @golf_com. This week, we break down the hottest players On the eve of the PGA championship, Undervalued PGA Championship lines and if Philadelphia Cricket Club was a tours worthy place.
PGA championshipSecond Major of the year’s men, starts Thursday at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, NC which is the best possible result: Rory Mcilroy winning to catch the first two from the four feet of the Grand Slam season, or Jordan Spieth Profit to complete his career Grand Slam?
Jack Harsh, editor of associate equipment (@Jr_bresany) :: Spieth, just because he winning the Grand Slam career is much more likely than anyone who ever wins a single season. If the master winner is one of the best players of 10 in the world, then he is always a favorite or almost favorite for the other Major (PGA). Spieth has just begun to get his game in order with two Top-5s this season and a 20th-20 string returning in early April that he simply lost the extension this week. He will be part of the PGA Championship conversation every year until he wins or retires – and this year, he is shocked to be a serious factor. As for mcilroy and one -year -old Slam, we can talk about it in Oakmont If he wins PGA.
Seduce sense (@Jossens) :: I agree with Jack. If Mcilroy wins next week, we can start with the Grand Slam Hype season. Spieth would be the best story, especially given how long he has tried to recover his shape. The problem with that story is that it belongs to the “Fantasy” section of the bookstore. It won’t happen. Many other senior boys are playing very well while spieth continues to look for.
Alan Bastable, Executive Editor (@alan_bastable) :: It was a striker to see Spieth lose some of his splendors at the cricket club after playing so well in Nelson. It would have been electric to have it, Rory, Scottie and Bryson The Game for men four largest needles, non-tiger division all rolling in Charlotte at peak or near peak. However, we have seen much more positive than the negatives from Spieth this year. (whisper) Perhaps his hand is finally better. Exciting weeks ahead!
With mcilroy in shape and scottie sccheffler coming out a Record Record in TexasAre you getting the Mcilroy and Scheffler duet to win in Quail Hollow, or in the field?
Hirah: Nah, I will get the field. I think there is only a lot of equality in sports now. Mcilroy definitely did not have his best things in Philadelphia this week, and while Scheffler dominated Houston, it was no great championship in any way.
Sense: But those two boys will rightly be the favorite chances, but the best go to the field. Dechambeau. Schauffle. Thomas. The list goes on by others who can win.
Basic: I am here only for Michael Block Props (he is again in the field, people!). But if we have to meditate on other bets, yes, I would also get the field. In Masters, I would have fortunately got Rory and Scheffler against everyone else, but PGA feels more unknown, even if the tournament is visiting a course that players know well and in which Mcilroy has excelled. That said, if you gave me Rory, Scottie AND Bryson
Whose game are you trending (and who are fading) from the masters?
Hirah: Justin Thomas It has to be one of the hottest players in the game now, after breaking its winning drought and then giving it a real run again in the Truist. Max Homa It has also seemed to find something. He was T12 in Masters and had another good show in Cricket, despite being the last player in the range every day.
As for someone who fades, it can be Collin Morikawa. He was T12 in Masters after scoring two competitors at the beginning of the year, but ended the T54-MC (MC coming to the Zurich team event) and was lit this week after a 63 opening with a 70-72 show on Friday and Saturday. He has been one of the most direct leaders on the tour, but made an interesting driver change this week, as well as testing a damned Mallet in both beginnings after the masters.
sense. Jack pulled the words from my keyboard. Thomas trending; Morikawa no. But this week in Philly also gave us a brief appearance of Cameron Young rising on the board. He is a strict player we have not seen much from late. Perhaps the Truist was a sign and more to come.
Basic: Shane Lowry, his Toughness In the Cricket Club aside, it has been on a heater this year, pretending almost every time he receives it; He has eight Top-20s in 11 Starters. Tommy Lad is also in motion. After a T21 in the Masters, he ended up the 7th in Harbor Town followed by a 4th country end this week in Philly. Ludwig aberg It has been calm since gaining origin in Torrey. At its six beginnings since that time, it has only one Top-20th (7 masses) end and two lost cuts. Of the players who finished Truist, Aberg was dominated by only seven of them.
10 secret Shane Lowry taught me within an hour in the running range
What is another PGA scenario worth monitoring that it is not generating enough buzzing?
Hirah: Not sure this fits the question, but I will use this platform to protect that the major should not be played in regular tournaments. The only exceptions should be for Pebble Beach and Riviera, which are two of the best courses in the world. Quail Hollow, while effective in producing good champions and persuasive leaders, is not a world beater. Why should we play one of the four biggest game events in a course we see every year when diplomat is supposed to offer a different challenge? We have to have something new every year.
Sense: Like him or not, almost every time he has been in a major since he jumped into Liv, Bryson dechambeau It has been an exciting part of the story. Many Scottie, Rory, Spieth and Thomas speak for now. But I’m banking in Bryson saying about it.
Basic: Blockie! Our guy is playing in his fourth direct PGA. This is no small feat.
Wissahickon course in Philadelphia Cricket Club – a high design of the AW Tillinghast Rangut – hosted the Truist Championship (With sepp straka winning by two), which in only 7,100 yards was a more visible to most PGA Tour stops. “These new renovated courses of the old school, the strategy is simply hitting driver everywhere and then understands it from there,” Said mcilroy at the beginning of the week. With the evolution of the golf ball, professional equipment and athletes, the fear is that the Golden Age courses like this will be outdated for the good. So did he help or hurt this week this assumption?
Hirah: Don’t make me wrong, Wissahickon, a course I have played hundreds of times, I showed them well this week and played much more than I expected. But I think Mcilroy said it best this week when he said that difficult conditions on Friday almost made the course play as he wants with older equipment. I have been a supporter of the ball return for a while. Cricket at 7,100 yard is a bear for most players – even the capable membership that the club championship does not play the course completely, as it was this week. Let’s make 7,100 reasonable yards again for PGA Tour. I think the crickets proved that the courses of the Golden Age have not been outdated yet, while at the same time prove the need to return the return.
Sense: I didn’t doubt that the grip-and-rip-it was the strategy this week. But with some exceptions – Sawgrass, maybe Riviera – isn’t it how much all the tournaments for these boys play these days? Bomb and gouge are quite standard. What a course like Philly Cricket lacks distance, it makes up interesting angles and features around the greens. Their observation to face chips and strokes in a delightful course was a reminder that these types of patterns are very worth keeping in rotation. I suspect it would have been even cooler without all grain. We failed to see the course in strong and tougher.
Basic: After Scheffler’s 31st at the TPC Craig Ranch a week ago, Cricket looked like Oakmont. I loved him, and so did the players. More, please!
