@DanielSong39 great call on both Hadley and Higgo! 3 straight bogeys to finish, not quite a Jean VanDeVald but close!
To be fair it’s unfair to single out Hadley when there were 5 other players who had a great chance to match or better Higgo’s clubhouse score but imploded down the stretch. Maybe it’s just a tough golf course.
With the win, Higgo-mania officially begins! I will be betting on him to win the US Open at any price (probably around 50-1). No price is too high when you’re dealing with a potential superstar.
I got Higgo at 90-1, there has to be value at this price. You don’t have to wait for Datagolf projections this time. DanielSong39 projection says get on him quick before the price goes down.
Unfortunately for Hadley he was just going to shoot the score required to lose. He had no idea where his ball was going down the stretch, his subconscious just knew exactly how many strokes he had to throw away to ensure he lost. In my own non professional golfing life I have experienced this awful feeling. Not sure how you possibly come back from this but I sincerely hope he gets another chance to pull out a win.
