Fairly spectacular setting this week at Utah. Not so sure about the course. What I am sure about is the continuing idiocy of the PGAT. This week they thought it would be a good idea to issue a sponsor's invite to local champ Jay Don Blake, aged 65. Guessing the criteria was someone from Utah, who used to be a PGA player.

Has hit drives so far at around 280 yards which sounds pretty decent for a 65 year old. Until you realise that the course is over a mile above sea level.

Aw heck. And then they interview JDB and he gets all emotional because he grew up in the area. Now I feel bad. Using a bullseye putter earns him some street cred.

3 spots out of qualifying for Abu Dhabi with two tournaments to go. Something to watch.

Good finish coming up in Utah. McCarty would be a good story if he wins. Only his 3rd PGAT start but he is in hot form.

The wind is blowing in Vegas! It is carnage on the course. No spectators allowed, groups taking over 3 hours to play 9 holes.

Dunno about that. I just saw a 5 putt triple bogey. A first for me.

Great to see Elvis break through in WA. Huge talent (and we don't have a lot of those in our younger ranks).

Decent finish in Las Vegas this morning. JT Poston gave a good illustration of the pressure that comes with a finish. 3 shot lead with 2 to play. Misses his 3'11" put for par. Lead down to 2. Ghim, his pursuer, pours on the pressure by knocking his approach stiff and then making his bird. JT had to sink a 4ft par putt to win, which he did.

Won't go down in the record books as anything special, but the pressure was there.

Am starting to like the Fall Schedule - although I don't think wins should give entry to Augusta, etc. Reckon they would be better if the Top 50 weren't allowed to play in them.
