Sunday wasn’t kind to the PGA Tour, and Monday wasn’t much better. High winds were forecast for the 11 a.m. Monday start, so the gates were closed for safety reasons to the paying public. With toppled trees on the premises, you can see why.

On a day where nearly the entire field is over par, Brandt Snedeker is 3 under. He keeps doing this. #QuickHits https://t.co/VzuAIWrBt1

Brandt Snedeker was in the catbird’s seat in the clubhouse at 6-under par after a brilliant Round 3. Jimmy Walker had a one stroke lead over Snedeker entering Monday, but that lead quickly disappeared, as the elements got the best of most everyone.

The harsh conditions on Monday allowed Snedeker to watch as his 8th PGA Tour victory fell into his lap. Or maybe watching the event, rather than playing, wasn’t as easy as it seemed.

Well, this is way worse than playing.. Don’t know how players families do this..

U.S. Open one-word preview: Azinger!

It’s rare that the people’s choice comes out ahead, but in the case of Greg Norman’s replacement as lead golf analyst for Fox Sports’ U.S. Open coverage, it has come to pass. The American golfing public signed on to Azinger when he directed the U.S. Ryder Cup team to its only victory in the past seven matches, utilizing a unique and successful “Pod” approach to his lineups. Now, he will again be their darling in June at Oakmont Country Club. “Zinger” will also be in the tower for the Women’s Open, Senior Open, U.S. Amateur and the 2017 Walker Cup.

Curtis Thompson appeared to be in control of the season-opening Panama Claro championship on the Web.com Tour, sitting at 10-under after two rounds. The young Floridian opened the door with a 2-over weekend, and Ryan Armour stepped through with 65-64 over the final 36 holes. Armour earned a three-stroke win over Kyle Thompson, despite closing with a bogey on the final green. Armour’s charge was fueled by third and fourth-round eagles on the No. 4, a par-5.

Grace defends at Qatar Masters

Scotland’s Paul Lawrie was gunning for his third Qatar Masters title, while South Africa’s Brandon Grace sought to defend his 2014 victory in Doha. Things went sour early for Lawrie, while Grace played brilliantly with one of only four Saturday rounds in the 60s. With his win, Grace became the first man to successfully repeat as champion at the Doha Golf club. His final-round 69 included four birdies and one bogey, leaving him two strokes clear of runner-up Rafael Cabrera-Bello of Spain.

Song sings Singapore Open tune

He’s no giant slayer, but Song Younghan might be mistaken for one. The Korean golfer played his final seven holes at the Singapore Open in par numbers to edge Jordan Spieth by a stroke. Song drilled a long par putt on the 16th hole to steady his nerves, then closed the door on Spieth with solid strikes down the stretch. As the seflie-session after the round suggests, Spieth was gracious in defeat. Of course, he did pocket a $1.2 million appearance fee, so it was a win-win endeavor for young Spieth.

Hyo-Joo Kim made the birdies flow on Sunday in the Bahamas. The young Korean recorded eight chirps against one bogey in Round 4 to dispatch perennial runner-up Stacy Lewis and countrywoman Sei Young Kim by two. Lewis used to be money when the heat was on, but lately, the Arkansas alumna can’t find a way to win. After claiming three titles in 2014, Lewis finished in second spot six times last season, and has another near-miss to start the new year.

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

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.
