Greg Norman off to a hot start!
Greg Norman off to a hot start!
The somewhat uninspired play in the first couple of events from Brooks isn’t even that different from him of old. He has historically been a guy who only seemed to show up for the majors. 9 PGA tour wins, 5 of which are majors - pretty wild stat.RC, good one lol! But 40 years ago was a great year for Greg despite losing the Masters by one to the come from behind Nicklaus. He was one of my favorites then and throughout much of the 1980s-1990s although I thought Nicklaus’ dramatic coming out of nowhere 1986 Masters win was amazing.

Regarding 2026, thanks for creating this thread! Here are two highlights I mentioned in the 2024 thread:
-Brooks Koepka returned to the PGA Tour from LIV. Does he have much left in the tank? We’ll see!
-Colin Morikawa won at Pebble Beach with a -22. This was his first win since way back in Oct of 2023!
I wish he would do that in a Ryder cup.Wow, Shane Lowry was cruising along with a 3 shot lead with only 3 holes to go at Palm Beach. What does he do? For the first time in his career, he gets double bogey on two holes in a row (both due to horrible tee shots way out in the water) and ends up 2 back tied for 2nd! What a choke! Echavarria ended up winning.
Scottie![]()
Should be fun to watch tomorrow.We’ve got a totally different ballgame, folks, due to a combo of a rather poor Rory round (+1) and several folks coming from well back due to great rounds. This includes ‘26 Players winner Cam Young, who’s now tied with Rory for 1st after having an amazing -7 today!
Scottie as @broken025 mentioned, also had a -7 and is only 4 back. Five others are within 4, including Lowry, who had a rare ace on 6! Reed had been -3 for the day after the first 3 holes, but gave all 3 back to finish at only -6, 5 back.
