Hated seeing Kyle make a bogey on the 18th hole and going from a 3rd place finish all alone to finishing in a 3 way tie for 3rd.

He would have competed and placed well in this event . . . Just a gut feeling . . .
You are correct . . . $159K and nearly 100 FedEx Cup Points is nothing to sneeze about!!!

Talking about FedEx points, did anyone hear the b45 minute interview with Peter Kostis about him and Gary McCord getting fired from CBS. I don't have a link (will try and find it), but it is fascinating. Talks about seeing Patrick Reed cheat at least four times, yet couldn't mention it on the broadcast because Frank Chirkinian always told them that they were NOT to be the story, only report the story.
I think Kostis is the best on course commentator .... period!

I delivered pizza (second job) to PK during the Masters a few years ago. I recognized his voice, not his face.
He was embarrassed to be recognized at all. Love to hear him talk about the game he loves. Nothing embarrassing about that.

Best line: “it’s been my experience that players who cheat just believe they’re invisible. They think that if they’re totally cool no one will notice.”
Then he goes on to say “He may not know he’s cheating. I can’t judge intent. All I can do is observe.”
But if a player’s lie is difficult before he places 4 different clubs behind the ball, and then easy afterwards, it’s clearly a benefit, and he clearly didn’t benefit by natural causes. He cheated.
Kostis cites 4 different times Reed cheated. He says on one occasion—he names the tournament, the hole and location, and club used—the ball had to move imperceptibly because when Reed finally got ready to strike the ball he (Kostis) was able to read the label from the tower.
Some of the professionals are no different than your weekend playing partners. Just slicker.

The ball may not have moved but he did tamp down all the grass behind the ball with multiple irons, then used a 3 wood for his actual swing.
