    There was a bit of gagging going on down the stretch from the So Cal boys, but these two are even better together than they are on their own.

    I have to say, if Sam Burns just keeps that tee shot right of water at 16, the lead would have basically vanished at that point.

    Also are we 100% satisfied with how adamant Billy was arguing to get the most favorable ruling possible?
    Fact is he didn’t know. No one knew. A lot of pga tour players would have gone back just to be safe. Sam was quite quiet.

    Then on 17 Sam hit that pitch shot short; and later Cantlay from further away knocked it super close, closing the door. What’s that K word you like to use sometimes?

    Anyhow, this 2 man event once again stood out, especially as we approach golfs dog days of summer events sandwiched between the monthly majors.

    Now no one likes hurricanes; but it’s worth noting this course looked and played it best with significantly less overgrowth from their last bug storm. I still think the course needs a Reno and more color. It just feels like it’s not up to the design standard of Mr Dye courses. Maybe it was a budget thing at the time. But if this is going to be the home of the worlds premier professional 2 man event, I would like to see the Dye Designs company come in and take this place to the next level of what they do.

    The course has has potential; as does this So Cal duo in becoming one of the best tandems ever.

      The rebuilding of the course is ongoing, they did a lot in a short time — a work in progress. Yes, Billy and Sam could have applied the heat but didn’t.

        It is extremely impressive what they have done recovering from the storm.
