Just catching up on some recent events that don't require full posts but approximately which I even have an opinion.
First of all, in case you have not heard (and I recognise you're all involved), Billy Horschel's little female Skylar Lillian arrived at eight:48pm Tuesday night time. Billy tweeted that she's 20 inches and six pounds 6 oz. Here's the photograph he tweeted:
Looks like every is properly and appropriate within the Horschel household.
I've additionally been asked my thoughts about the Ryder Cup system for deciding on gamers. It's been a big challenge of discussion this week for the reason that Billy gained the remaining FedExCup activities after the closing date for the Captain's Choices. The assumption is that Tom Watson would have desired somebody like Billy at the US group... And I can not say that I disagree. (I doubt he'd have enough electricity to play even though. Babies are quite stressful, in particular in their first few months.)
However, my primary beef with the manner is that the 2 groups are chosen at special times. While waiting later might make it much more likely to get "hot" gamers with the Captain's Choices, it bothers extra that the Euro team sets their automatic picks a full three weeks after the US group. I assume each groups have to be set on the identical time. It's no longer like they need to coordinate 88 nations just like the Sochi Olympics did!
In short, so long as both facets pick their groups at the same time, I'm ok with the modern-day timing.
Tiger's press convention for the newly-renamed Hero World Challenge (Hero Motocorp in India being the brand new sponsor) drew a variety of interest when Tiger mentioned that he hadn't swung a golf membership since the PGA and failed to plan to before the stop of this month or early October, and also that he wasn't even considering a brand new instructor yet. I suppose this suggests that Tiger is beginning to recognize that he wishes to approach the rest of his career as a individual in place of a superhero, and I additionally suppose that offers him the exceptional danger of returning to form quick. He definitely regarded in precise spirits, which can't hurt his possibilities.
Hmmm, did I leave out something? Oh yes, I did want to touch upon how well Michelle Wie performed as a way to win the Rolex Annika Major Award notwithstanding being injured. Inbee Park performed in all five events (38, T43, 4th, 1st, T10 for seventy six points) as opposed to Michelle efficiently playing simplest 2 activities (second, 1st, MC, DNP, WD for 84 factors) and yet Michelle nevertheless beat her by 8 points. (You can read the LPGA wrap-up right here.) In case you marvel where the point totals come from, they're the equal factors offered for the Rolex POY award. I desire it does not take Michelle too long to get returned in shape when she in the end heals up.
Finally, this week subsequently saw a shake-up in my Ruthless Golf World Rankings (the RGWR in the sidebar) and I desired to provide an explanation for why it now appears the manner it does. The Top3 are the yr's main winners--Rory with 2 majors and a few different events global, Martin with 1 major and the TPC (as strong a discipline), and Bubba with the Masters and an additional win (plus his play picked up for the duration of the Playoffs). Those three must be pretty obvious selections.
Then comes Billy Horschel with that torrid 3-occasion streak on the stop of the season (the Tour Championship and a different occasion, plus a 2d, is better than what maximum of the other players have achieved within the last few months), and ultimately Adam Scott. Adam had that run of Australian majors late closing year, a win at Colonial, and he was OWGR #1 for four weeks in May and has been #2 the rest of the time for the reason that 2013 Barclays. But at the same time as he is been playing properly, he's just no longer prevailing as plenty as I expected.
I assume that covers everything.
