DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) – Muirbox Village the hardest check Carl Pettersson has seen in his best friend for virtually two years, so he laughed when he completed a 2 under 70. Please note that this is the only PGA Tour check you faced in almaximum two years.
“Very much for a retiree, ” said Pettersson.
He only joked when he tied for 38th place, earning his first paycheck ($43,245) due to the Canadian Open three years ago.
He’s not in financial trouble. Pettersson has seen the PGA Tour five times, adding the Memorial in 2006, and has just over $22 million in professional profits. That’s why he himself can retire at four and two with enough love for the game he plays four times a week at home in North Carolina.
“I’ve had enough, ” said Pettersson. ‘I was playing so badly two years ago, it wasn’t fun. I took a resolution that I was looking for to see teenagers grow up: 16 and 13 years old. You play this game, you’d rather be selfish. Seven months a year, once you’re at home, you do activity and play, it’s up to you.
“If my game hadn’t gone south, I’d probably do it again,” he said. “But I took a resolution that I didn’t want to be degency in my forties. And fortunately, I played pretty well where I can also do it. If I hadn’t played well enough, I would.”
He plans to return to a full schedule when he turns 50 and would be eligible for the PGA Tour Champions.
Pettersson’s peak production year in 2006, when it finished 18th on the silver list. His top productive option in a primary in 2012 on Kiawah Island, when he played in the general organization with Rory McIlroy in the PGA Championship. McIlroy surprised everyone to win through eight. Pettersson tied for third.
What contributed to Pettersson’s bad move was the verdict of banning the grounding of his long putter. He made the cut in just four of the four games he played in 2016 when he struggled to get the speaker to replace the only player he had as a professional.
This is what made his appearance at the Memorial so remarkable. It’s the toughest check of the year, the most powerful box of the year. Pettersson only plays at home. He’s not grinding the stove. However, it hardly weighed. He made the cut and then had one of the five playing stations under par on Sunday.
“Can I buy you this?” pranked Carlos Ortiz as he was on his way to the first tee for the general round.
This adequately strengthens Pettersson’s priority score that he is eligible for more than one box event to the contrary. For him, that’s enough.
“Golf is a game of diversity,” he says. “I’m playing wonders now more than I did 3 years ago. I play at home. I don’t practice. I play with the members, the professional assistant. And I do a wonderful variety of navigation.
You don’t miss the regime of betting the tour. But he doesn’t see the players, Pettersson said he didn’t recognize the component of them, caddies and other acquaintances.
“I looked at it that way, ” said Pettersson. “I will never be as wise as I am. Why crush him and be miserable?”
Pettersson is anything still miserable. That hasn’t changed. This was evident through the emblem it had on the invoice of its viewfinder: LdM5.
A sponsor?
“That’s my boat,” he said. “Long way, make 5”.
REBOOT LPGA
The global nature of the LPGA tour and in which the schedule continues for the planned resumption of the closure of the COVID-1nine pandemic has created a dynamic count seen.
According to Golf Channel, the top 8 logical South Koreans are never best friends at next week’s LPGA Drive On Championsend at inverness Club in Toledo. That would probably be the case next week at the Marathon Classic.
Mabig Apple’s South Koreans have triumphed over the pandemic at home. It would make little sense to come to the United States for 2 weeks when the upcoming Ladies Scottish Open and Women’s British Open.
Meanwhile, the logical maximum ratings of five Americans will compete in the LPGA Drive On Championship.
RORY IN NO. 2
It took Rory McIlroy more than four years to return to world number one. He doesn’t think he’s going through to wait that long after Jon Rahm takes over his victory at the Memorial.
McIlroy is No. 1 with seven consecutive maximum logical points, adding a victory last fall on a world champion pass. Since the return of the COVID-1nine pandemic, it has not yet published a maximum of 10 logics and has 3 outdoor finishes, the maximum of 30 logic.
“I haven’t played well enough since closing to hang that place,” McIlroy said after a Sunday 78 to tie 32 days at the Memorial.
Rahm also did not play his best production after the resumption, with one exception: he won on Sunday.
“He deserves it, ” said McIlroy. “He’s been playing good for his best friend for a long time.”
McIlroy takes a week off before going to the FedEx St. Jude Invitational, a world golf championship in which he finished a year ago, to the PGA Championship in Harding Park.
“I’m looking to play better,” McIlroy said. “If I play better and eliminate the giant mistakes I’ve made in the last two weeks, I’ll have a chance. There are enough wise things for me to give them back.”
MUIRFIELD LIMITS
Bryson DeChambeau struggled to accept that his shot was out of range on the 15th hole of Muirbox Village, the golf ball only respected the black fence of an exceptional house. “I know if I can jump the fence and hit it too,” he told a settlement official in desperate control and saved some shots.
It’s not a difficulty more than one party after the Memorial, the vegetables were not ripped off and replaced.
The fence is temporary, and not just on the 15th.
Dublin has an ordinance opposite fences, unless it is a swimming pool, so for years the Memorial has used a pocket mesh fence to prevent owners from spreading on the course during the tournament. That didn’t work, so in 2013, the tournament gained more than 7 miles of black fencing about 6 feet high. Sounds good. Looks like it’s a component of the landscape. It’s not.
Tournament director Dan Sullivan says he’s been installing it for about a month (there are ground sleeves) before the tournament, and 3 weeks to organize it.
