Holy crap at the two shots on 17!

 

[Zambo]

One of the best tournaments I’ve ever seen. Crazy!

 

[Zambo]

The contrast between Bryson’s tee-to-green play vs Cantlay’s touch on and around the green has been remarkable. Totally different styles duking it out.

If Bryson could learn to pitch and chip better he would be hard to beat.

Cantlay for the Birdie

AND THE WIN!

That was fun to watch! Bryson can blame no one but himself.

Cantlay for the Birdie

Finally hit the damn ball hard enough to get to the cup!

One of the best tournaments of the modern era. Cantlay showed a very hard and focused resolve. As @Zambo said, his putting and short game was unparalleled.

How many times did he Birdie 18. I know he did in regulation.

I think only once during the playoff.

No, he birdied it in regulation which is what closed out the tie to send it to OT

Hmmm. Maybe I could have gained a few yards if hadn't raided the jar at the pro shop and gotten a discount on seconds and whatever had been found by God knows who. Only when the competition got tough did I spring for new Titleists. Why would I spend money on new balls when they would end up in the parking lot. It's great to be long. It's better to be straight.

Not in Hollywood.

I was only referring to the playoff. Of the 4 times he played it, he only birdied it once, to win.

I don't watch much golf, but dad came in for dinner and asked me to tune in just as the playoff started. A lot of steel nerves on display, thoroughly entertaining.

He lost the tourney when he butchered that chip on 17 in regulation. Nobody is good enough at golf to win a bunch of tournaments without being able to chip. Good lord that was a terrible shot.

And Douchchambeau didn’t.

Cantlay & Rahm played a great final pairing! Not that he didn’t have his chances, Rahm has to settle for second place & a paltry $5 million while Cantlay pockets his cool 1st place prize of $15 million.

Rahm couldn’t get a birdie down the stretch when he needed it. Can’t remember the hole #, but when Cantlay flew the green and shorted his pitch, Rahm could’ve tied it up with a bird. Cantlay showed something when he got down for bogie. Their approaches at 18 were outstanding. Today was a great battle and Cantlay leading from wire to wire was pretty amazing.

Cantlay has nutted up the past couple of weekends, well deserved FedEx Champ. Should be a damn entertaining Ryder Cup in a couple of weeks.
US squad automatically qualified:

DJ
Bryson
koepka
JT
Cantlay

+ Strickers possible picks:
Finau
Xander
Speith
English
Reed
Berger
Simpson
Scheffler
Kokrak
Burns
Billy Ho

Out of that group, Finau, Xander, Spieth and that dwag Engilish are probably locks. That leaves two more captains picks out of that group.

Euro Squad automatically qualified:
Rahm
Fleetwood
Hatton
Rory
Hovland
Casey
Fitzpatrick

Lowry

The rest of Paddy's picks will come from a group of brits, irish, germs, guidos, frenchies...

Yep, that was #17. There should’ve been a 2 shot swing there & them tied going into 18.
