Who knows why Bryson DeChambeau and caddie Tim Tucker parted ways after three years and eight PGA Tour wins together, including last year’s U.S. Open.
The average career span for tour caddies is about as long as the time modern humans are parted from their mobile phones. Often caddies get fired with little or absolutely no reason other than the old “the chemistry wasn’t right” excuse even though the caddie never once made a mistake. It is the most precarious job in golf.Quite who decided to initiate the break up is a matter for debate. Tucker apparently dumped DeChambeau, while Beefed up Bryson’s manager released a statement to Golfweek saying the parting was “mutually agreed.”
“The only time I talk on a golf course is to my caddie, and only then to complain when he gives me the wrong club.” Seve Ballesteros
Louis de Jager made a NINE in his round today. That he came back and still qualified was mightily impressive. Hear what he had to say here...
"I was playing well today so I just told myslef to carry on and stay positive"
What a day of Final Qualifying... Blog @TheOpen
Well, well, well... what a day we have had. There have been a lot of special moments, too many to sum up in this blog post perhaps, but moments that 12 players will remember for the rest of their lives. Eleven of those 12 will be debutants in two weeks time so Louis >https://www.theopen.com/final-qualifying#fq-blog
*1904 Open Championship at Royal St.George's
Jack White was one of the original members of the PGA, and in 1901 Tom Roberts a founder member of Sunningdale Golf Club persuaded Jack White to become their first professional. It was from there he entered the 1904 Open at Royal St. George's, which that year attracted 144 competitors, and an extra day was required. White completed his final round in 69 with the help of some long putts to finish on 296 - the first time 300 had been broken in a 72-hole Open. White was the champion and received the gold medal and £50 in prize money. White received over 300 letters and telegrams, including one from his former Parish Church Sunday School teacher, the Rev. John Kerr at Dirleton.
NELLY KORDA BECOMES NO 1 with a Putting average of 30..!?
For the first time in her career, Nelly Kordahas reached No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings following her win at the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She becomes the third American to sit atop the Rolex Rankings and surprisingly she did it with a Putting average of 30.
This is quite surprising not so when you consider par5s double eagle on round4 (see above) overall scoring 11 under on the par5s assuming she must have reached most of them in two with two putts!
The SwingScore is a innovative/original data from CaddiePlayer.
Nelly Korda 64,5 SwingScore is outstanding and explain more/better why she reached n.1
“Reaching World No. 1 has always been a goal of mine, I couldn’t have done this without so much support from my family, my caddie, my sponsors and my entire team, not to mention all the fans who support me every week."
I got my Day8 test Negative and Day10 theory quarantine is behind but I am still anxious about the overall situation of variant XYZ...What about you?
Last time I was on Tour as a free traveler/coach was back in 2019 for the Dubai Final Race. Seems an eternity ago... Thanks to CaddiePlayer Solutions as well the Internet I could still be virtually "Connected" to the World of Golf Tour but nothing can be compare to be on site at an life event.
Gladly behind all the Covid hassle restrictions/rules/administratives/bubbles I got my "Elite Sport Exemption" status, successfully completed my online education module on Rapid Antigen/Lateral Flow testing and could be back where I can deliver the best of my abilities (In Trevose Caddie and Coach to CaddiePlayer Legends Tour's Andre Bossert).
Coincidently I made my return at the rebranded LegendsTour part of the European Tour Age over50 events.
It was nice to see again all the Legends (Ian Woosnam and co) I use to cheer/admire whenever they would play The SwissOpen at my home course Crans sur Sierre.
I found the LegendsTour new format Alliance Pro/Am a great concept giving the opportunity to share game/friendship as well getting some preciouse tips. And what great satisfaction you get when you received such wonderful message:
"I cannot tell you how much fun we had. You were the best partner I could have wished for and thank you for giving up so much of your time to make it such a great experience for us."
Thanks to Andre Bossert his playing partner Billy (quoted above)and all others there who contribuated greatly to our back on tour week.
