Congrats Will!

Nicely done Will gj

Sick! What a wild playoff. Way to go Will

awesome

What an unreal playoff! So many poor decisions and poor shots by both. I thought it was all over when Will somehow stuck it 'under' the green. Given the decisions that had been made up until that point I really thought he was going to try and play it rather than drop in the drop zone.

Glad he didn't do this

lol, hilarious

Wow, tweets by scatt were not flattering. Even JT chimed in.

Well, just starting out on this forum he did have to deal with ARC and NWC spouting idiocy everywhere. Compared to them tweeting with Hicks and Faxon is child’s play.

lolololololollol, ARC was the worst

sure weren’t. yikes

JT is one of my fav golfers, but for someone who lost sponsors for getting caught using a homophobic slur he's been way to vocal and quick to jump on the social media bully train lately.

I can appreciate that, but it's also very important to realize that they were all taken out of order. The first tweet I posted was intentionally hyperbolic to illustrate it was obviously a joke, I even said "yes this is a joke". Faxon hates me so he constantly tries to defame me (which I obviously don't need help doing and I truly have no idea why JT would chime in aside from he's a No Laying Up hugger.

That said...holy **** did I not think the New York Post would even run a story on it! I do feel bad though as it clearly left a stain on the day for Will.

Ha ty for mentioning the NYP article. It gave a good run down on the situation.

Those tweets remind me of the Negreanu rage videos lol. Probably a tad aggro and not the best look...but you're not beholden to the corporate stooges so f em.

gg willy

Well, what do they say about publicity? It seems obvious to me Will has improved by leaps and bounds with his pressure putting.

IRT to people saying Will "backed in", they don't know anything about competition. People make mistakes, especially judgement errors, in the heat of competition. Straka made a decision and it was probably the wrong one, but that was his problem, not Will's.

Bro, if you think JT is the only tour guy dogging you, you're delusional. Everyone else is just doing it in private.

It's pretty clear you have some kind of personality disorder. You literally tried to make Will's win (his accomplishment btw not yours) all about you. You're like the Lavar Ball of the coaching world. Everyone loathes you, but your so narcissitic you can't see it.

Great interview on The Loop, Scott. Loved the discussion on Will’s lag putting prowess.

Well, a quarter of the Tour asks me questions and leans on me, but I'll assume TurtleTom is more informed. I do have a bit of a disorder and I do all I can to work with it. I'm sure you're perfect. Getting mad at someone you don't know for something that wasn't a big deal is totes norms.

Also, I didn't try to make anything about me, I tried to correct a silly narrative. Now, I did it in an unproductive way, but there was nothing intentional about what I did. I'm sure you'll be fair and consider this and be onboard!

Thanks for the objectivity Porter. It's pretty crazy that I literally documented all of the journey on a site like this for no reason other than to give people a sweat and yet some here are mad. I have my issues, no doubt, but I can't imagine going through life being so mad about such an irrelevant topic like this. Truly makes me wonder about them more than they do about me. I'm obviously flawed, but they've got it all under control!

Thanks Scott for The Loop interview, it was very enlightening to hear your side of the story and the voice behind the words.

You mentioned that Will is 100% from 3 feet, but about 89% from 4 feet, compared to 92% tour average. But since 89% is so high, and 4 footers are infrequent, that it isn't a big deal in the big picture. (I am paraphrasing, so if I got that wrong my apologies)

I agree that looking at a single distance is probably not illuminating, so I analyzed putts made from 4-8 foot range for the top 30 in total strokes gained. My idea is comparing Will to the top players makes more sense than comparing him to guys happy to make cuts.

The table below shows strokes gained (or lost) for 4-8 foot putts per 72 holes for the top 30, in order from best to worst.



Notwithstanding Will's exceptional rate 3 feet and in, he loses a little over half a shot per 72 hole event to the top 30 from the 4-8 foot range. I imagine a lot of this is run good/bad. Rahm is probably a fair example of that.

I'm sure you've already seen something like this, but I thought I'd pass it along.

You nailed it for me. I’d obviously still follow Will because he’s one of the best in the world, but it’s extra cool having followed this story for so long, so thanks for that.

Hopefully you’ll post and let us tag along on your Korn Ferry journey.

Lol

Listening to interview now. How many new 2p2'ers we gonna get in the golf forum?

Ship, If he tried to chip it off the rocks what's the probability he makes a 4 vs it kicking straight back in the water? After it was over I really wanted him to try it just to see what would happen.
