“I don’t need to win… But I really want to”. As I sat there in shock about what I had just seen, his words from his interview at the start of the week struck me. And as he walked behind the green he shared an amazing moment with his kids, which many contrasted with his embrace with his Dad Earl. Tiger said the putt didn’t move the way his past experience led him to believe. So amazing!įinally, there was his reaction after making his putt on the rebuilt 18th green. If there wasn’t already enough drama, Tiger almost makes a hole-in-one on the 16th hole with Michael Phelps watching behind him. Of course, it was shocking when Brooks, Tony Finau and others in contention for the lead rinsed their tee shots into Raes Creek on the 12th hole “Golden Bell”. The second 9 on Sunday was such a special 9 holes. I don’t think I will ever forget that moment when you realized that Tiger might actually win his 15th major. And then he responded as only Rickie can #savage! But then Rickie Fowler took a penalty for a bad drop.
I’m not sure I would have believed you.īoth Jordan Speith and Bryson spoke out about how absurd the new rule is. If you would have told me before the start of the season that the new rule to drop from knee height, was going to cause such a stir. I think it was really just a crutch for those guys trailing in the putting category. Given that the rule was originally created to help speed up play, I wonder if the governing bodies will reconsider making adjustments to the rule.Īt the end of the day, these guys on tour are already such incredible putters that it likely wouldn’t have an effect. Not to be outdone Golf Digest released their own independent study that showed the opposite. MyGolfSpy released their findings from an experiment that showed that leaving the pin in would help you make more putts. And guys like Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka say they would always pull it.Īnd then science came into the conversation. You had players like Bryson DeChambeau and Adam Scott say they would use the pin to their advantage.
Would leaving the pin in for a putt help the pros make more putts? Of all the rule changes this was probably the biggest. Not sure if you heard but the rules of golf changed this year… and it produced some really great storylines. And what a season it was! Let’s take a look back. Having hoisted the final trophy the 2018-2019 PGA season has come to a close. With the final putt by Rory McIlroy, we have only the second repeat FedEx Cup Champion.
