If he doesn't catch fire in one of these next few tournaments, I genuinely don't know what his future looks like...

---

Probably sales... like most of the former college golfers I have met.

DNF in US Open qualifying...

Injury? He finished +1 after the morning so was very much in the mix

P will be making his debut on the KFT this week. Grant Horvat is actually playing in the tourney too.

Interesting take. Johnny is 24.

By age 24, Spieth had 3 majors, 5 other top 5 finishes and 11 PGAT wins.

I'll go on record that Johnny won't accomplish any of that for his career.

---

Cool, how many has Spieth won lately? Jordan went straight to the PGA Tour after only 1-2 years at Texas, Johnny played 4 years at Baylor, went to the PGA Americas Tour and won it. He is currently leading the Korn Ferry Tour and is fully exempt. He will 100% get his card and be in Tour full time next year, so we'll see. He's one of the longest hitters out there and has the mental stability to withstand the riggers of the weekly grind. Will he win more than Spieth? I think he will, but that's my opinion. I'm around this game every day and I see a ton of these young players, he's special and he has the "it factor".


On a side note, the Aggies have a kid coming next year named Shiv Parmar, he will be a 4 year starter, his little brother Aadi is coming right behind him, two years later. Aadi is even better than Shiv and Shiv is a 5*, if golf had that type of ranking.

The guy to watch is Johnny Keefer. He's a BU grad and is a Bryan Gathright student here at River Crossing CC in Spring Branch, Tx.

Kid will win more tourneys and Majors than Spieth ever thought about winning.

---

Dang, there is a name I have not heard in a while. He taught my brother to be a pretty good golfer when Bryan was a La Cantera. If memory serves me correctly, Joe Caruoso was assisting Bryan in giving lessons back then.

Many years ago, but he was a damn good teacher and looks like he still is!

I have an elite 17 year old who's been with Bryan for the past 4 years. lf anyone in the SA area wants to spend the money for themselves or their child, it gets no better than Bryan. He's coached Notah Begay, Jimmy Walker, Mac Meisner, Mitchell Meisner, Johnny Keefer and many more. PGA Tour Magazine Top 20 All-Time and hands down the best Jr coach on the planet. He's at River Crossing CC in Spring Branch, north of San Antonio.

Sam's first great opening round in a while! The leader went -11 but is only one back of 2nd

Go Sam

Even round today. Currently T16 going into the weekend with imagers still in the course.

Went +2 over his next 3 rounds... Argh

On the bright side, Bronson is playing well and has a good shot at top 10

T14 at the moment

Sam is having a great weekend. Currently T10.

On fire today. Man if he didn't have the +3 over the last few holes Thursday, could be leading.

Yeah, yesterday and today have been great. Thursday was great too except for the last 2 holes.

Just an bad stretch on back 9... Finished -1 for day

Does anybody know if he's trying to change his swing or something? I don't understand his regression from last year.

Or maybe golf is just that effing hard.

When he decides to crash it's usually more than one hole.

Golf is hard

KFT is for bombers

Memorial Health Championship

2nd clean card of the week!
Friday -6 with no bogeys.
Today -7 with no bogeys.
All 4 rounds under par.

Good job Sam!

By far his best outing of the year. He had two stretches where he let it get away from him or he could have had a top 5.

WD after rd 1 this week. Hope it is nothing serious.

Any truth to the rumor he showed up to first hole without a caddie and had to use some dude out of the crowd for a hole? Him and his regular guy got in to a fight. This is all from the SGS podcast.

"P could go out there and hit balls for hours and for Sam any more than 30 minutes he was done" I'm paraphrasing but Kortan and P said that in a TexAgs interview a month or two back.

Unfortunately his future isn't looking too bright right now and I'm not sure what he will do after this year.

Another MC. Won't have full status next year likely. I wonder if he grinds it out or hangs it up.

Sam playing great so far. -5 for the day through 11. Unfortunately with the bad start and cutting the cards down from 30 to 20, he'd still be on the outside looking in if he were to get a win this weekend

Now leading at -11. -7 through 14

Couple good rounds back to back... 67/65.

Long way to go, but winning this tournament would have him in the mix for a top 20 slot. Finishing 2nd puts him in the mix for retaining his status.

Really hoping he somehow completes this thing over the weekend. Amazing performance so far.

To retain his spot on the korn ferry tour, what does he have to rank at the end of the season?

This was last year. Struggled to find anything on this year but only top 20 get a card this year.

Top 75 retain status. He's 81 now.

*81 holding the current result. He is far back without it.

I believe he is 133rd (not counting this tournament in which he could still fall way back). Finishing the season outside of the top 100 without even conditional status is going to be a tough way to try to make a living next year.
