Just want to ensure you're privy to a couple of tendencies from Monday.
First, Jason Day's thumb continues to be a hassle. He has withdrawn from the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week and will possibly shut it down completely until the Masters. As I apprehend it, he has been able to hit short sport pictures -- putts, chips, pitches -- however when he got to Bay Hill and attempted to hit complete shots, he couldn't do it. In fact, he stated he turned into extremely frustrated due to the fact he become flinching before he ever hit the ball -- he knew it changed into going to harm, despite having it nicely-wrapped.
You can examine Golfweek's declaration here for extra information. Although Jason has had the thumb checked out and that they say there's no harm -- so rest have to be sufficient to heal it -- this isn't suitable information so close to Augusta. He is surely one of the favorites there if he can play.
The other announcement -- which is going to be made official today -- is that Julie Inkster will be the 2015 US Solheim Cup captain in Germany. And she's already announced that Pat Hurst will be her assistant captain (at least, her first one). Golf Digest has noted that this isn't all that dissimilar from the PGA picking Tom Watson for this year's Ryder Cup captain, since Julie's 53 and has a lot of Solheim Cup experience -- including her recent stint as a playing assistant.
You can get in addition info from these articles at espn.Cross.Com and usatoday.Com. This announcement will probably be acquired by means of the LPGA players a lot the same manner Watson's changed into obtained by way of the PGA Tour gamers -- with ecstatic applause.
