If the Ryder Cup was tomorrow, Griffin would be in the team. But I suspect he's just on a hot few weeks and it won't last. But Bradley is starting to cause himself some issues, if he qualifies, surely he plays and then someone else has to captain.
The Europe team is looking like it will be very similar to 2 years ago. You might just swap one Hojgaard for another (would anyone know?). The US is a bit of a mess, big names just not firing, although Homa finding some form again would be handy for them.

Ryan Fox with 2 PGA wins in about a month!! Amazing. Bob Charles is the only other Kiwi to have won more than once on the tour.
His father Grant was a great rugby player , but Ryan has surpassed him.

I think I'd call it one and a half wins given the first was a secondary event with the top players all participating in a signature event. But he's further evidence of how the top performers on the DP World Tour (Detry, Pavon, Bobby Mac etc) can go out and win on the PGA if given the chance which they now have.
He's really struggling with his driver. I guess we'll see if the weekend off (which you fancy he kind of always wanted) has helped him find anything for Oakmont.

Good for you. Fox will consider it two wins. The PGA will consider it two wins. History will consider it two wins. But you do you.

I feel fairly certain I know which one Fox will value more. Although, whether either of those 2 match Wentworth I'm not sure. Nothing against him, very popular player amongst his peers. But this win provides far more opportunities (like Masters, Tournament of Champions, Signature Event entries) going forward.

18 handicappers can easily shoot high 90's on a bad day on their own course, I honestly think that 150 is more the right number here (and that's assuming they have spectators/ball spotters to find their balls in the rough). Even the greens are just ****ing stupid.
Generally, when it gets like this, length is key off the tee. If you're going to end up in the thick stuff, more chance of making par with a wedge in your hand than a 7 iron. It's either that or someone puts on a ball striking clinic, and we all know who is most likely to do that. I don't think 11-4 is a bad price tbh.
DJ won it here last time at -4 and only 4 broke par, I'm wondering if anyone will this time.
