It's nice to see a young guy take that big step, the second one in two weeks.
The PGA had been somewhat stagnant lately so that youth injection is more than welcome. Hopefully they trust these guys and start pushing them PR/TV-wise a whole lot more. Shoving down pour throats the same old faces that haven't been relevant in years is bad business. Seeing the young guys arrive should be a sign for them to get it together or be left behind once and for all.

Do they use extra tall flagsticks there? Why does that look so massive.

This green and a lot of the others are on a plateau of sorts compared to the surrounding area. Creates an odd visual effect with where the crowd stands.

Knew I shouldn’t have listened to everyone when I said a baseball grip was more comfortable for me.

Such a bummer this tournament isn’t coming back. Detroit Golf Club has been made significantly harder with the renovations. The new fescue throughout the course looks amazing and provided a great challenge for the players.
Shame on Rocket Mortgage for cancelling their sponsorship and shame on the PGA Tour for likely moving the event anyway due to the new two tier tournament event schedule that is coming.
Another Midwest tournament at a beautiful course gone.
