A win this week would not be underserved the way I see and would also be interesting in kicking off even more louder discussion on how hes dont it and whether its good for golf or not because its not, and so action might get started to deal with it. But for the minute, fair play to the lad because what he has done to get himself there, while the single length clubs thing is a sideshow, he is still class.

A 2nd place finish might just give him enough points to cling on inside the 125 without another big performance - but he'd be very tight.

For this reason, there may be far less of a scramble as players who would typically be on the cut line may decide to sit out instead of having to fight for their card. (a bit of an optimistic view, I doubt it will play out that way)

Bubbaclaus wrote: » He is so far behind in ranking points, he probably does. As an example, he could win a major and the Players tomorrow and would still fall just short of getting number 1. If that is what 2 massive wins would do, then it just shows how far away he is from it without winning. My point stands anyway that he is a good bit away from getting to #1. Webb Simpson is another story. I could see him being #1 later this month. Never thought I'd be saying that.
