Rory showing a rare glimpse of that killer instinct that we've seen maybe once or twice over the past decade. Very interesting development heading into Valhalla...

It seems like this has been one of the least eventful on the course seasons in a long time. There’s only one or two good players who are showing up to win each week. Prior years it was definitely more. We aren’t getting many real shootouts with a lot of the top names. Too many runaways or two man runs, sometimes including a top player against a nobody having a career week.

Yeah. There have been 6 signature events so far. The Sentry was down to the wire, but each one since has been a sleeper... Hideki by 3 at Riviera, a Scottie blowout at API, Scottie pulled away at Heritage, and now this past week. Then the Masters was a sleeper too. At least Sawgrass was nice - but that's a full field. And then there was the shortened event at Pebble... that's certainly not helping things on the 'eventful' scale.

The non-signature events have seen three playoffs, plus that Jaegar win which was nearly a six man playoff. Also the Dunlap amateur win. I think they're feeling the shrunken fields in the signature events. Could use a few more mid-tier guys having heaters and competing. LIV has similar depth problems but having one fewer round for guys to pull away tends to keep them closer.

There are a lot of medical conditions like an aortic dissection that take a few hours to grow and develop.

I remember when the actor John Ritter died of an aortic dissection they said he wasn’t feeling well a lot of the morning and left work.

Every time something happens like this, I think of that

So he was +3 on the tournament on Friday with two holes left in his round, needing to only get to +2 to make the weekend, and withdrew instead of finishing out. Something must've really been wrong at that point.

Very shocking.

What I don’t understand is how it got from he withdrew under unusual circumstances like that to he’s now dead.

Did something seriously go wrong that was unexpected since or were they able to hide a guy who was dealing with a life threatening medical emergency?

I wouldn’t jump to conclusions that it had anything to do with those past issues for him. He’s said it’s behind him. It could’ve reoccurred, but it’d be very presumptive to say that’s the reason.

Check in on your friends and loved ones. If you are struggling, find someone to talk to. Help is always there IF you reach for it. I'm sober a long time and am on medicine for anxiety. This stuff is real.


When the freedom of dying outweighs the pain of living, it's not for me to judge but the loved ones left behind are scarred for life

GET HELP if you need it!!
