Top 5 Moments
#1 The Repeat
Obvious one here. Playing stellar all weekend and being able to withstand the pressure of the hottest golfer in the world right now, Jon Rahm, chasing you down. Waste Management should look into a sponsorship of Mr. Scheffler
#2 Rickie Fowler's Hole-In-One
Always electric to have one. If you didn’t see, you should. If only this was at #16……

He’s Back! Confirmed by the GOAT himself. Tiger will be playing in the weeks Gensis Invitational. Golf is better with Tiger
Pick Results for the Waste Management:
Top 20 Finish:
Seamus Power +360
Hayden Buckley +600
Seamus Finishing T20, we hit our first pick of the year! With surviving the cut by 1 stroke to finishing T20. Well done Mr. Power
Hayden Buckley finishing at T29, Buckley didn’t quite reach Top 20. At +600 he was worth the risk in this tournament
Viktor didn’t have his best this weekend. A bit of a rollercoaster with a bogey, bogey, bogey, birdie, bogey, birdie run in the middle of his second round. Unfortunately, that was his theme for this tournament.
JT with a solo 4th finish. After carding even par in round one, JT, finished off the tournament with 3 solid rounds of golf. Nice Pick Jonah
Swindle of the Week:
2+ Holes in one +200
Thank you Rickie Fowler. One is better than none, hopefully that bar tab wasn’t too expensive…. Quite a shame too, I think all of Golf fans wanted to see another Hole-In-One at Hole 16 this year. I sure did
