Yikes. Same question should be asked of Dahmen… although at least with him it’s mainly the putter.

Dahmen’s accuracy with the driver has dipped as well. That was his biggest strength.

He qualified for the Open with aplomb.
EDIT: No he didn’t, he collapsed after his first round lol.

Another one in the making? Some serious drop on Jazz
He lost 6.7 strokes OTT at Barbasol and over 6 strokes in R1 at Royal Liverpool. That’s some serious problems. So extreme it might be something beyond having bad form in golf.

Seeing Van Rooyen having a bounce back (still some resistance around 200) I thought I change the thread’s name.
I happend to see Kyle Stanley in the entry list for a stage 1 DPWT Q-school event next week. Didn’t realize he’d fallen so hard. He was 24th on the DG ranks in october 2018. Jordan Spieth is no 24 today, playing in the RC next week. No other comparisons made, but kind of hard imagining him in a Q-school event in Denmark, first stage in 2028.

Frittelli somehow resurrected himself, although I’m not convinced he’s fully back. The drips (driver yips) aren’t ever truly vanquished.

Need to follow up on this. This looks like capitulation. But it has to be some sort of injury involved here. Or something personal that’s gone wrong. Jazz Janewattananond Stats | Data Golf

A post on how different skills develop, regress and fluctuate over years would be fascinating. I think many people suspect a young golfer who is good at ball striking has a lot more potential than even one who might be better at the time but relies on chipping and putting. Would be interesting to see what goes first, putting or driving. Which is easier to improve to a top 20 level, which players have seen huge leaps in what categories, etc
Wow. Remember him winning last year but haven’t thought about him in MONTHS. DPWT really have some players who’s quite top of mind for a year or two, but without a post like this I could go a lifetime without seeing their names again

What’s going on with Taylor Montgomery? Since The Players he’s had 2 WDs after an opening round in the 80s, and another WD prior to the start of the PGA Championship. PGA withdrawal is said to be due to injury but didn’t see any detail. He’s also lost a lot of distance off the tee.

He is turned into 2023 Dylan Fritelli, more likely to hit the adjacent fairway then the correct one. Hitting it 15 degrees offline into the trees can be a real distance killer.

Monty somehow playing well this week.

Yeah I was banking on him still being erratic off the tee and picked Jhonattan Vegas to beat him, so sick timing on my end. But Vegas is playing well too.
Good for him though if he has his game back. Would hate to see a generational putter waste his talent.
3/3 on big right misses to start R3 for T Montgomery.
