I like to see 1 or 2 more WGC, that isn’t in the US to take the spot of the FedEx playoffs. Why? The Fedex playoffs are all top fields with the best players on usually really good courses (sans East Lake, which is decent enough). I do agree that moving at least one of the WGCs to an international course would be fun. I'm glad the St. Jude left Firestone (boring course to watch), maybe that one or the Workday can find an international location. But it would have to be someplace in a time zone that works for the US market to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be made if I started out behind the leader by several strokes without even hitting a ball. Plus, I personally think East Lake is extremely bland, as are a lot of the courses that they play.

The Australian Open should have been a WGC years ago. Incredible organically developed history and tradition. World class golf courses. The strength of field year in and year out is among the best in the game worldwide. What's not to love about it? National Open's carry a natural weight to them. They matter to an entire nation. Those that don't rise to the level of a major should be the natural selection for WGC's.

GolfSpy_APH 7,215 Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 Meanwhile back at the Open we have had a interesting day 1 so far. Gotta love that Louis is leading after round one and the story of can he hold on will start with Spieth again showing great golf today. I didn't watch as much as I wanted so far, but I did find the course to be pretty interesting with some wild shapes and true rub of the green kicks... makes me more excited for how the next few days will play out and the real threat of some big names to potentially miss the cut! 4 Quote as of April 15, 2022 SuperSpeed 2020 from 100-112 and climbing!

fixyurdivot 16,659 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Great showing by Finau... I know at least a couple people who are rooting for him . Will today be the reverse of yesterday, with the afternoon players scoring average much lower? Is it inappropriate for me not to root for "Man Bun"? Come on Marcel, let it hang, tuck it under a cap if you must, but celebrate that mane! Bummer about Zalatoris. Way too young to be having back pains. Anyone know if this has been an issue for him in the past? Watching a number of players take violent hacks out of the rough yesterday left me wondering who might end up injured by the end of the event. Rory took what looked like a pitch fork full of hay on one escape... stuff is crazy thick. Two of my FTx crew blew up; Reed and Glover. With Webb in tomorrow, here's hoping at least 3 of my afternoon round players can survive and make the weekend. 3 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Evnroll ER5v Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
