    Very interesting last day. at the Players. Lots of storylines. Very nice to see Rory bounce back into the top dog chair as opposed to the dog house. Suspect he will be the favorite at the Masters.

    Big John Rahm is certainly right there in terms of talent, but hopefully he will get the knack of composure on the course. Tommy Fleetwood seems to always be in the thick of things; waiting for a breakout win in a Major from him. Well played, but quiet tournament by DJ, and VERY quiet, but well played effort by Justin Rose.

    Sadly, again, but a big story or maybe non-story is the disappearance from the conversation of Jordan Speith, with a missed cut. Ranked 30th now. What a shame.. .

    Anyway, just a hodgepodge of thoughts from an interesting tournament not far from the Masters.

      RM: My thoughts are already north of here in the little town there in Georgia…..THE BEST major in my book, best setting, best decorum, prettiest setting, best TV viewing, best commentary and I look back so very long ago when Fred Ridley won a little local tournament called the Bartow Girls Villa Championship then went on to win the US Amateur and today my old pal Fred is the Chairman of Augusta National!!! Can’t wait.
