OK, now that you have had some time to process the image of Mito Pereira’s horrific swing on the 72nd hole at the PGA Championship and Justin Thomas’ did-that-really-happen comeback, what were your takeaways from the 104th PGA Championship at Southern Hills Country Club?
So, let's see... JT shoots 3 x 67's including the worst part of the draw on Thurs/Friday & then is the only guy under par of the final 10 - 15 players on the course... then, as if that weren't enuff, he owned the playoff... Majors are a tough get even after Pereira's stunning collapse...
As for the course, there will be quibbles w/converging holes but that final stretch, what a great finish... Perry Maxwell, Gil Hanse & then all the great work by Kerry Haigh & crew to bring out the best of a great course... terrific story-book ending was icing on the cake...
Did I miss something on Saturday? I don't recall too much time spent on the conditions - not enough specifics to understand how bad it was. I saw a number of shots being blow significantly but not many comments on what was happening. Would have like to see the comparison's between the 2007 course and the 2022 course during the coverage. Not too much but at least an overlay to show the differences.
Outstanding TV coverage of JT coming from a 7 shot deficit. Overlapping holes were a little confusing but they managed with only 1 bonk on the head. Loved it.
