Scottie is the first #1 to also win a Gold? Wow!
Imagine how that cop felt watching his perp take the gold medal and star spangled banner
Scottie is absolutely ridiculous, you think he's out of it, yet somehow he just rocks up, -3 through 3 today was a sign tbh.
Equalled the course record to win it
I used to find the fella boring, but Jesus he's anything but. I absolutely love the guy. His swing shouldn't work according to the experts, but he can do the tango and smash it 300 yards down the fairway at the same time.
Sundays are never boring with him, he can be 7 back and you know he's still got a chance.
Yep. Owns his swing like Hogan did & makes winning look completely casual. Love the guy
I've said it before in here, but a shitload of credit goes to the teaching professionals (assuming he had one or more) who didn't try to correct his swing when he was a junior to mimic a more 'traditional' one.
I’m just getting out of a year of a bloke trying to teach the right sided swing to me because I didn’t know any better. I am a fade player. My natural path is out to in and to hit a draw, especially with a driver is not natural.
I picked up some great fundamentals, but my play is so much better when I decided to just swing my own swing.
Lydia Ko on for Olympic Gold and entry to Hall of Fame!
Who else is contending?
Nobody. She's having a 5 stroke lead with just the back 9 to go.
Nelly, Rose, Celine all very inconsistent about half a dozen shots behind.
That's over then. Thanks!
Only up one shot on the (finished) second placed German now
Damn, wishing I was watching it now.
Crazy how the swings are. -7 on one day and +7 the next! How bizarre!
Congratulations to Lydia. It's the last points she needs to get into HoF. Well deserved.

Lydia now has a bronze from Tokyo 2021, a silver from Rio 2016, and gold from Paris 2024. Solid achievement!
Fowler misses FedEx playoffs. He really has been in the dumps for quite some time. Won't make the Ryder Cup either with this form.
Matsuyama showing some cracks in the armor on the back 9, while Xander and Hovland are holding pretty steady
Rules officials killed Matsuyama game. Since then he's been shaky. Not even a penalty so was a totally pointless exercise from the officials
Yeah, if he wasn’t gonna penalize Matsuyama, I’m not sure why he spoke to him.
Huuuuge bounce back from Hideki.
Amazing approach shot by Matsuyama!
It's Hideki's to lose now. Just a par would do it.
Wild ending 
Olympic Bronze plus a FedEx Cup win.... August has been good for Matsuyama!
The drop rules on tour needs a massive revamp. Not allowed to move the ball out of divots, but blasting the ball into the rocks (like Scottie did) gives you a free drop. Your toe slightly touching a sprinkler head in knee deep rough? Please drop the ball in the fairway. At the very least it should be mandatory to drop the ball in a similar lie/same conditions (rough to rough, FW to FW, etc).
And in Scotties case yesterday, if that area gives reason for a free drop, it should be marked as a red hazard or something like that instead.
Fantastic to see Viktor Hovland back in contention again, finally.
Not only does he get a chance to defend his BMW title, but he's clinched top 30 and a shot at the TOUR C'ship as well.

Hovland on par today with 4 birdies and 0 bogeys 
Just found out today that my new employ's range balls are Pro V1s.
Sweet baby jeezus
Road trip to Cal’s new gig?
Either a pro or a rich beginner.
No, they are the range balls at the golf course at the resort where I just started working. They have 'PRACTICE' on them.
Me & my golf buddies are already saving up for it!
Wow, fancy like!
No shit, right! Never seen this before. This might even prompt me to take up the sport again.
A beginner using a Pro V1 is likely to fare far worse than when using a random Amazon brand. Pro balls are designed for accuracy, spin, ball flight and all that. Even tiny errors tend to be magnified.
Cal ain’t a beginner
Was just speaking generically. Wasn't a reply to Cal.
Btw, the Creators Classic seems a cool fan event.
They also did a similar even for an Open Qualification earlier this Year.
Good that PGA is doing more to get in the Social Media bandwagon.
