Entertaining week of golf. Bit too much of a birdie fest for a major imo. Good for Xander, I don't see any reason to not like the guy. T6 and a 2nd in the majors so far this season for golfer 124 in the world, life changing.
Been playing and watching golf a long time, but I didn't watch this weekends event. What changed about this course (if anything), to have scores this low? Rainy conditions? Tee box placements? Is this scoring avg consistent with previous PGA Champs?
Aside from the soft(er) conditions due to the moisture, reading comments by those smarter than me have indicated it just isn't that hard of a course in today's game. The greens just weren't difficult enough and weren't punitive for the world's best.
Having majors at Valhalla has been a joke with the low winning scores. Bob May shot 18-under there 24 years ago. Hopefully there will be no more big events there now that the PGA no longer owns it.
