Farmers recap

  • P Reed and the rules controversy
  • Tony Finau and a top 5… again
  • Brooks misses 3 cuts in a row

Patrick still wins by 5, so does it matter? The 4 bogeys on the back nine Saturday was plenty of karma...

Do his actions actually warrant a DQ?

  • Kostis said. “I got his clubhead speed up to 129 miles per hour and his ball speed to 193. And he saw some real progress. We spent a lot of time improving his turn, his pivot. He’s using his legs a lot better. But the biggest thing is we saw some physical improvement, which led to a completely different attitude. He’s energized. He’s in a good place mentally. He has confidence in what he is doing.”
  • Why can’t he win on PGA Tour?
