...And I'm in whole surprise at what number of massive name players missed the cut.
How many information did Brooks set, besides? I understand he set a brand new 36-hollow record (128) and a new file lead for the occasion (7 strokes, the subsequent closest being five strokes back inside the Dark Ages).
And what players are seven strokes back? Jordan Spieth and Adam Scott, who've each struggled with their games of late, are the closest big names. Dustin Johnson is 8 lower back and Justin Rose is nine returned. It's no longer until we go ten returned (-2) that we find a larger number of "the usual suspects."
I at least understand Tiger missing the cut. I realize that, when I've been through a completely stressful period, it is whilst matters eventually appearance up and I can loosen up that I usually get ill. After all the physical issues Tiger has had, capped by using the leap forward at Augusta remaining month, I'm not amazed that he subsequently were given unwell.
As for the relaxation of the field, I can't help however surprise if this isn't an surprising aspect-impact of the new Tour schedule. This is the first 12 months players have needed to address five majors (and at the least as many different big activities) in a four-month duration. And after that, they will have the FedExCup to cope with. Players absolutely haven't figured out how plenty to play with a purpose to be ready for the Big Five without wearing themselves out.
Reps or rest? It's a puzzle that will probably stump the pros for a while yet. But I think that's the most likely explanation for what we're seeing this week, and I don't know how long it's going to take for them to figure it out. In the meantime, this season might offer some opportunities for those pros who would normally only dream of a major.
Unless Brooks has some thing to say about it, this is, He's a greedy fellow!
