Kenny B Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 The course set up pretty well for The long hitters who kept it straight this week, a couple of them did, but DJ was better with his short irons this week, and made the putts. It was always going to be difficult for Harman with the wind, and he had issues with his putter in the 3rd and 4th rounds, which is the strong part of his game, he 3 putted a bunch of times, and had some really poor chips as well. There is no doubt the smallish Lefty can play, but DJ found the groove and is really tough to keep up with when he does that. Those Kapalua greens can do that to you... trust me!! “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony@CIC Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 This win will set him up for the rest of the year - hopefully his back injury earlier last year doesn't come back.

MDGolfHacker Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Being a lefty I am rooting a bit for Harmon - but DJ is tough to beat. Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy I think all us Lefties were rooting for Harmon! Of course DJ was firing on all cylinder and then some so he just steamrolled everyone there. It will be interesting to see if he can keep up his game throughout the year and especially in the majors. MDGolfHacker TSssWhat's In This Lefty's Bag?

Inline 6 is still a good engine, and will last a long time. The V-12 will win some races, but has the higher chance of exploding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cksurfdude Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah DJ clearly commands the "WOW!" factor out there, but I'm pretty impressed with Harman's technique and ball striking abilities. Plus in addition to being paired with DJ he also had Rahm-Bo and Rickie-Boy breathing down his neck .. seemed he handled that all well enough. Agree he may be one to watch this season.

Kor.A.Door Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Those Kapalua greens can do that to you... trust me!! I play on those same Bermuda greens, and they can get really really fast in summer. I recently played at Dormie club, and those greens are slick and undulated. Slow into the grain, and slick as snot down grain. Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
