fixyurdivot Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 What immediately comes to mind to you looking back at the 2021 season of professional golf. Certainly Tiger's crash is a given for anyone breathing oxygen... and probably for most who don't play or follow the sport. So, moving on to the other stories, which will you remember most? There are lots of storylines to choose from; Ryder Cup win and individual key moments, Speith's return from the ashes, Hideki's win at Augusta, Rahm's putts at Torey Pines, Phil's incredible win at the PGA... and the list goes on. For me it's Xander and Nelly winning the gold. The odds of this were extremely low and, as someone who bleeds red, white & blue, just found that very cool.

sirchunksalot Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I can't say I really watched much pro golf this past year, but there are a couple of things that really stand out in my mind from this year. 1. Phil winning the PGA. Just the fact he was able to hold on and hold off Brooks coming down the stretch. The fact he won at just shy of turning 51 is amazing. 2. The flop shot Jordan Speith hit at the Ryder Cup from that lie. Wow. fixyurdivot, Kenny B and Mtbryant01 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_APH Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Two things really stood out to me thinking back. One Spieth and his resurgence last year. Was a great to see and good for the sport overall i believe. Next up was Morikawa at the Open. After a less then stellar Irish open he came out with just a phenomenal performance. There are other highlights in there for me as it was a fun season and there were of course several disappointments with players like Fowler, Day, Hatten, Fleetwood among others who seemed to have lost a step or just struggled. Hopefully next season they will be back in form. Either way a great season and hopefully a few more first time major winners in 2022.

Mtbryant01 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 For me, I love seeing first timers win on Tour. The grind it takes to get to that point and then seeing that emotion pour out. Just hits a little different. Here’s who I can remember: Joel Dahmen in Punta Cana. KH Lee at the Byron Nelson. Garrick Higgo at the Palmetto. Cam Davis at the Rocket Mortgage. Seamus Power at Barbasol. Erik Van Rooyen at Barracuda. Abe Ancer at St Judes. Talor Gooch at RSM Classic (this season). Out of those Ancer and Higgo I remember the most. Another storyline to me was the resurgence of Stewart Cink. Hadn’t won since 09? And he wins twice! To do it with his son on the bag is awesome. I also can’t leave out Tony Finau. Has been so close to winning the last couple years and finally pulled one out.

Kenny B Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 I'm picking Patty Ice. 4 wins and coming down the stretch to win the FedEX Cup. Patrick Cantley has been heralded as one of the next great players since he come on tour, but until this last year has had only occasional success. Now he's solid, and I expect lots of battles with the usual big names and don't forget Viktor Hovland.
