Scottie vs Rory, NELLY season, hopes Ryder Cup I Cam Young

Check every 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 tweaking us on Twitter @golf_com. This week, we discuss the player’s debate of the year, the victory of Cameron Young, the Nelly Korda season and more.

With FedEx Cup’s Play Finally here, means there are only three events left to influence the race for the year player between the two visible runners first: Rory Mcilroy and Scottie Scheffler. Mcilroy has won three times, which includes players and masters, the latter finishing the Grand Slam career. Scheffler has won four times, highlighted by his main titles PGA and the Open Championship. Who should win?

Josh Schrock, news editor (@Schrock_and_Awe) :: Who should win is Scottie. Equal Rory accepted in the open that he won three times while Scheffler was not in full flight due to a hand injury. But winning players and masters, especially the fashionable he made to win the Grand Slam career, can make the voters give her Rory.

Josh Sens, elderly writer (@Jossens)) Grand Slam career was an epic achievement for Mcilroy, a career accent. We are choosing the best season. Scheffler has not only won the most often this year. He has earned more degrees. The closed issue.

James Colan, editor of features (@Jamescolgan26) :: Golly, I would like if we were to choose Poty only from thanks, but this is a harsh because of how the tournaments structure its ballots and two different stretches of the prevailing game we saw this season. Scottie is clearly the best player in the world, clearly the best resume, but I would not be shocked if Rory won it in a “achievement of life”.

Is there anything that can happen on the play -off that will roll your decision?

Schrock: Zero. The significant golf was wrapped. Forgiveness for sponsors and partners.

Sense: No. If we are voting for the guy who increased his net value.

Colgan: No, but if Mcilroy wins the tour championship, I would not be surprised if the tournament players (AKA, voted voters) disagreed.

Cameron Young Navigated in the Wyntham Championshipwinning with six to look for his first PGA Tour’s career victory. Prior to Sunday, the seven conclusions of Young’s career competitions were mostly from every player without winners in the tournament since 1983. In 2023, Young was ninth in Ryder Cup’s ranking but was not yet selected. Was this victory enough to secure a place for 2025?

Schrock: The victory was good enough to get it in the conversation. He has the length and now has a very stable place to be a weapon in Bethpage, a course where he won the New York State Open. But Wyndham’s profit will not be what puts it in the team. If he does it, it means that Keegan Bradley was already bending that way because of his skills and connection to New York. The way I see it, there are three points for: Young, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns, Mav Mcnealy, Ben Griffin, Brian Harman and Bradley. I can see the argument for receiving young people, but profit in Greensboro should not be the determining factor.

Sense: Statistically, you can probably argue the same way. This victory moves it to the 16th in the Ryder Cup ranking. But if I were a captain, I would choose it, in part because he has put it so well all year and makes the birds in batches, which is great for the game. He is also a New Yorker (who won the open state at Bethpage Black). Give the crowd at home even more reasons to get up.

Colgan: Should not be. Young has five-five in the world game when everything is there, and everything was there in Wyndham, but winning one of the weakest events in the tours from the field strength should not be a Ryder Cup list controller.

There was much to follow Sunday in Wyndham, with players moving or barely lost the first 70 places (and progressing to the play off). Whose player (or narrow call) was more distinguished for you?

Schrock: Davis Thompson with three hit 18th hole to abandon the first 70 places and end at 71 was brutal. Gary Woodland also slipped from the 70th predicted entering the day at 72 with a tough last round. Two intestinal punches late during the day in sedgefield.

Sense: Schrock pulled the words from my keyboard Thompson with three putt. Painful

Colgan: Mark Hubbard will get the titles, but I am impressed by Ben Griffin, who did not need to be on the field but who tried moving a higher slot in the FedEx Cup ranking with a T11. I will be interested in seeing how it helps it over the coming weeks.

Japan Miyu Yamashita exceeded Charley Hull And Mine Katsu to win the AIG Women Open at Royal Porthcawl, claiming the first great title of her career. Further on the manager’s table, bound for the 36th, was Nelly Korda, who won seven times a year ago in 16 starts. Now, with the main LPGA season, it is without a win in 13 starts. What do you give? And which season was the most likely, last year or this year?

Schrock: I think the answer maybe lies in the middle. Both are outer. Cord is a phenomenal player that was hot in the heat last year and removed seven wins. She has played good golf this year, but only a note below her normal level, and there is nothing to tell about it. Is one The disappointing year for Nelly But it is more disappointing for the golf of women who needs her, or someone, to bring LPGA to new heights. Nelly’s year reminded me of a lot of the extent that Rory had since the time Golf was taken during the pandemic until mid -2021 when he finally won at Wells Fargo. Golf has been strong for the better, but not to its standards and it looks worse given how good it can be on the full flight.

Sense: There is no doubt a sense of an existential battle. Not too long ago, she took the rest time, mentioning the burning. As everyone knows, mentors and physics are so difficult to leave. Scottie Scheffler made it clear at his press conference of the pre-open championship championship, which rose closer to the philosopher as a press conference. I would think that Korda would benefit from the adoption of a Scheffler mentality. Who wouldn’t do?

Colgan: I am haunted by part of Korda’s analysis from last April given by no one other than Augusta’s national mayor, Fred Ridley. I’m paraphrazing but the introduction was: She is a great player, but she is not a transformative star for women’s golf. I don’t think there is a bigger disappointment here for the cord, I just think she is a great player who may not be a transformative star. Women’s game can use one of them badly.
