Was anyone else thrown off by the original shot of Homas ball on 10 during the playoff? The first tv shot that ball looked a lot closer to the tree to me. Obviously it was the camera angle but I'm just trying to confirm I wasnt the only one who thought that.

Yup. And I thought it was on the other side of the tree so that he’d have to turn a club upside down and hit it lefty.

Yeah the camera angle was pretty deceptive as to where the green and flagstick were positioned. Either way though, to get it on the green from there was very impressive. He definitely benefited though from the pin being at the front otherwise he'd have had no play even remotely close to the pin unless he went left handed.

I thought it was tight to the tree.

Speaking of Sirius... I'm so bummed.  Our 2018 Expedition MAX has Sirius XM and I had channel 92 PGA Tour Radio during the intro (freebie) period and most of last year under my first annual subscription.  Living in MT, satellite radio is "the bomb".   I often listened on drives to from Bozeman, Butte and Dillon.  I renewed my subscription in late October and just realized recently that channel 92 no longer exists and that PGA Tour is now on 208... which my radio can't get  .

Any chance you have access to the app with your subscription? I have SiriusXM in my 2016 Ram and use the app on my phone in my car to play it through the radio. If you don’t have cell access it doesn’t work, but I’m able to get stations with the app that my truck radio doesn’t get.

Just a thought.

Bill, I have Sirius/XM radio in my 2014 Charger.  I don't remember PGA Tour Radio being on channel 92, maybe it was IDK; I only remember 208.  However, after the 1 year subscription I lost many of the upper channels.  I called and renewed my subscription because AM/FM sucks around here.  I found out that I can "upgrade" to get the higher channels including 208.  There are still more channels I can't get that I can listen to from my web browser.  I also added my wife's subscription when we bought her SUV in 2018, and I think I got a discount.

We get it. You don’t think any American should play overseas. Your point was made in last weeks thread so drop the sold out comments.  
 
Nice win by Max. Gets him in to the WGC next week. Part of the reason I was willing to trade him was he wasn’t in the field. Lol. Seems like a great guy. 
 
Tough loss for Finau. 

It’s not that we think Americans shouldn’t play overseas, it’s that we don’t think they should go to an oppressive country that doesn’t allow basic human rights for a pay day...

I've never said Americans should never play overseas. There are appropriate times and places. The Saudi Arabia tournament was neither. 
 
I’m happy Homa won!

amen! Preach!

This is what confuses me. The first customer agent said yes, it's channel 92 and it's part of your "select package".  They do a "refresh" (twice)... and no dice.  Then a second agent says it's not 92 but 208, there was a channel line-up change mid 2020, and 208 is only available on the "all access" package.  So they offer at no charge to upgrade my subscription to the "all access".  Then when I call a third time after that refresh and still no success, they tell me that my particular radio may or may not be able to tune to 208 .  The odd thing is that the logo on the radio says Sirius XM.

And that opinion was made in last weeks thread. It isn’t that hard to understand. No point in bringing it up in this thread as well. 

[tchat07 1,471]

For those in the media who question whether Finau will ever close one out for a win. The dude had the best round by 2 strokes on Sunday and had the 2nd best round on a brutal Saturday. I wouldn't call that an inability to close.

I think it's that we want him to win as badly as he wants to. As I said earlier, my heart just sank when he missed that putt.

And he and I both thought it was relevant for this thread. Who are you to tell @twyatt700 what he can and can't comment on a thread? If you don't think it is relevant than don't read it.

Except he was chasing, not closing. It's one thing to make a run when you are behind. That doesn't tell us anything as to whether he can play great golf to close out a tournament when he is the one with the lead going into Sunday.

You and him can comment just stop beating a dead horse. Your original comment in the att thread was DJ and others sold out the US by playing in SA and skipping the ATT. So leave it in the ATT thread.  There is no point in commenting  in this thread about it as we all know what your opinion is.

Let's keep conversation here to the Genesis Invitational!  

I like Homa's choice in putter.  i had already spoken to our rep about my order!

Sorry CG2 sometimes I care too much it’s one of my greatest weaknesses
And yes what was his putter? If he figures out his putting he’s going to be on the leaderboard more often. They guy is so silky with his irons!

Too bad the slant neck he plays is tour only or it would be my neck putter. 

[ncwoz 1,733]

As much as I was (and will continue to be!) rooting for Tony to break through, Homa's probably one of my other favorite guys so it was a win win for this fan.

Anyone else watching feel like Riviera could/should be a Major site? My course history knowledge is nothing impressive, and I just assumed with Riviera's history it has been a semi-regular spot to host some majors. The 'ole Wikipedia tells me it's only hosted 3 majors: the US Open in '48, and the PGA in '83 and '95. I know there's plenty of great courses to choose from, but I'm really surprised Riviera isn't chosen for majors more often.
