Schauffele, Thomas both cash-in big at the Tour Championship

The 2016-17 PGA Tour season came to an exciting end this weekend in Atlanta. The Tour Championship turned into a battle between Xander Schauffele and Justin Thomas, while the FedEx Cup race was down to the final putt. The Web.Com Tour series reached its penultimate week, and there’s still more! Fall Tour Mash, activate!

Justin Thomas wins more fans and even more cash

He didn’t win this week, but “JT” did what needed to be done at East Lake. Thomas parlayed his Dell Technologies Championship in week 2 of the FedEx Cup series into the overall title. With generational rival Jordan Spieth in hot pursuit, Thomas birdied 2 of his final 3 holes on Sunday to leap into second place in the tournament, hopping over Spieth for the series win in the process. Time to rewrite goals for the 2017-18 season, Mr. PGA Champion and now, Mr. FedEx Cup Champion!

Xander Schauffele…It’s so much fun to say

For fans of consonants everywhere, you get to say “Zander SHAUW-fully” for the next year or so, at a minimum. The young man who first captured our imagination at Erin Hills, won big on Sunday. He did what Paul Casey, the third-round leader, could not do: avoid bogeys. Casey had four of them on his card and dropped to 5th place on day 4. Meanwhile, Schauffele had 3 birdies against 1 bogey, including a closing birdie on the par-5 18th, to capture his second PGA Tour title of 2017.

Schauffele also had to sidestep the 2017 FedEx Cup champion on his way to victory. Justin Thomas closed strong, reaching 11-under, but Schauffele came up with two great shots, a heady lag putt, and shaky lip-in to clinch the title in the end.

Lindheim wins DAP in Web.Com finals series

Chasson Hadley may not have won in Cleveland, but he established a hard-to-overcome lead in the Tour Finals on the Web.Com tour. The honors and trophy in C-Land went to Nichols Lindheim, who secured 2017-18 PGA Tour playing privileges with his win, but Hadley’s playoff loss (Rob Oppenheim also went down in extra holes) bumped him to a $170K series lead over Andrew Landry with only the Tour Championship remaining.

Lindheim did his best to give the DAP away, with bogeys on 17 and 18 on Sunday. Having lost the 2016 event in a playoff, he was keen to make amends. With a fair bomb of a putt on the first extra hole, he did just that. In addition to Oppenheim and the victor, eight other golfers also earned PGA Tour cards for the upcoming season.

Right in the heart.

Langer claims Pebble Beach again on Champions Tour

The name may change, but Langer is king at the event that brings young golfers from The First Tee to the Monterrey Peninsula. Despite challenges from hot Jerry Kelly and even-hotter Scott McCarron, the uber-scorching Langer played steady, birdie-ful golf in California to ink his fourth win of the current campaign.

McCarron uttered a challenge with his opening 63, but Langer was on his heels with a 64 of his own. McCarron faltered in round 2 with a wretched 72, rolling out a carpet to his challengers. He recovered from the funk on Sunday, but could only take third place, 2 strokes behind Kelly. The Minnesotan, twice a recent winner on tour, made a run a Langer with an outward nine of 32. The German champion answered with a 3-birdie stretch of his own on the inward half, and a familiar story was written once again.

GolfWRX Staff

A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 21. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.

As we say every year, there’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18 if you can.

Let’s get to the gifts.

Ghost Golf Qualifier Diamond Polo

We like the new polos that Ghost is offering, as the fabric and fit are so good. These new Qualifier Collection polos breathe well, are lightweight, stretch with your swing, and of course look great. You can wear them on the course, in the office, or just out at a casual event and they will fit right in.

STR8-Strip Grip Tape Remover

If your dad is an equipment aficionado and tinkers with his clubs, this tool works wonders. Removing grip tape has never been easier, just put a little head on the tape and the STR8-Strip peals it right off the shaft without any damage.

Why Golf: Putting Thing

When it comes to practice, it is good to have a purpose. This “Putting Thing” sure does it. We know from personal experience how challenging it can be and how rewarding it is on the practice green. This also provides some competition for your kiddo to see who will unload the dishwasher or do the next chore around the house.

OluKai Lae‘ahi Men’s Breathable Slip-On Shoes

Riding to and from the course in style and comfort is always a good thing. If you’re in a hurry, it’s a nice feature to slide into your shoes and get to the tee time. For the post-game shoe, at your locker or while putting your clubs away in the car. Nice to slide into a shoe that looks good anywhere. Pair that with meeting the family for dinner, no need to change!

A little wellness goes a long way. Keeping loose is a good way to go when it comes to the weekend game or treatment during the week. If there is a little ache or pain, the Theragun is there to help out. Help loosen up the back for a pre-game warm-up or cool-down.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @HuskerFlyer is sharing a Scotty Cameron GOLO with a BGT Stability Tour2 2022 M Edition shaft. While the putter is certainly enviable, the Augusta-inspired shaft is equally noteworthy.
