Goddamn. With the start Scotty had and the way he did it again today was pretty amazing to me. I haven't enjoyed watching a player this much since Tiger's glory days.

Same.

Hes just so damn consistent. Cold blooded. Seems to never get rattled.

Its different from Tiger. People were so intimidated by Tiger it was like he had already won the tournament before it started.

With Scotty it's almost like... if he is in the lead after the second round you better start doing something special because he is going to cruise on to victory if you don't.

Definitely a joy to watch.

He has to be pleased with the job he did today.

The $3,420,000 is nice too.  

You're not the board darling you think you are.

Scottie is something.  Other players choke, lose focus, etc.  He just goes out there and plays.

I saw the interview with Bryson.

He was all “I have to work on this. I learned blah blah blah.”

It would have been great if he said “ Well, the three of us tied at -6 might have had a chance if we weren’t playing against a freakin terminator.”

“ I want Scottie tested. For PEDs. For  Blood doping. Amphetamine. Marijuana. AIDS. Covid. Measles. Shit, I want to see if magnets stick to him. He’s a robot I tell ya!”

Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!

Watch him play Grant Horvat.

Can I Beat Scottie Scheffler if I Start 5 Under Par?


Horvat's a little twerp but Scottie's digs on him as they played were funny as hell.  I'd get along Scottie.

Shame to see Rahm fall apart and my man Max.......going 73-64-76-77

A lot of players had an okay payday

1st: $3,420,000 (Scottie Scheffler)

T2: $1,418,667 each (Bryson DeChambeau, Harris English, Davis Riley)

T5: $694,700 each (J.T. Poston, Jhonattan Vegas, Taylor Pendrith)

T8: $454,781 each (Joaquin Niemann, Ben Griffin, Denny McCarthy, Ryan Gerard, Joe Highsmith, Matt Fitzpatrick, Keegan Bradley, Jon Rahm, Si Woo Kim)

The top 32 finishers received six-figure payouts, and all 74 players who made the cut earned at least $23,420. Players who missed the cut but turned in a 36-hole score received $4,000 each.

I wonder how much the top players earned from sponsors?

I find it hilarious that Scotty is a Taylormade guy but games a Titleist

And where is the golden boy Rory?  

Sure makes a guy pause, winning the Masters with an illegal driver, 50th place with a legal club.  I am sure Chamblee will be all over that

Scottie's driver got popped this weekend too, he talked about it at the press conference.

His wedges?  He also has a Srixon in the bag.

Common.  He’s probably playing the 2019 pro v1 as well.  A lot of them do.  Being one brand from driver to ball is fairly rare.

Even with his win, he makes a fraction of other pro athletes.  Brock Purdy just inked a deal with the 49ers for more than that every month for the next 5 years guaranteed and he’s only the 7th best QB.

Don’t get me wrong I’d trade places with Scotty today for that $$ but a lot of expenses come out of that check.  Heck his caddy gets 10% off the top, taxes are another ~50%.  Then the agent, the assistant, coach, travel on and on.

I would guess endorsements pay him more than he makes on the course in a year.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
