  1. Here is another way to look at Gotterup. The...FedEx Cup. FedEx Cup points distribution is more "flat" compared to the Ryder Cup. 2025 FedEx Cup standings - USA-only Scheffler Henley Thomas English Griffin Spaun Bradley McNealy Novak Morikawa Harman Cantlay Burns #14 USA - Gotterup Regardless, should be a fun, pressure-filled ride these next 4 weeks!
  2. A short missed putt on 18 at Oakmont and a missed cut by a stroke at Portrush really hurt Griffin. A game of inches indeed. I am very curious to see how strong the fields will be in Minnesota and Greensboro. Ryder Cup (...and FedEx Cup) are tight.
  3. I may be totally wrong and hope someone can chime in, but I believe Strokes Gained is 100% field dependent. There is no rating/slope-like metric that takes into account course difficulty. So if 3/4 of the LIV field stinks strokes gained becomes "skewed" at the top (IMO).
  4. Griffin not at the Scottish Open is interesting...he has played a lot. I have to think he is qualified. Knapp Time?
  5. There is no perfect system. The majors themselves have a strong say in the methodology. I used to be on the Data Golf bandwagon, however, the Strokes Gained metric is problematic.
  6. Having lived in SA prior to my latest stop in the states...I don't think this "bond" is as strong as people think. The equivalent would be saying that a team comprised of Canadians, US Americans 😉 and Mexicans have a "North American" pride/bond.
