  Curiosity about TPC: Sergio Garcia is the active player who has made the cut more times consecutively: 16 

  (TPC 2020 doesn t count, it was suspended...i think)

  Tommy Fleetwood for me this week thanks Judge.

  Jack Nicklaus winning the 1978 edition with 4 rounds in the 70's to win by 1 stroke.

  70 71 73 75 - 289...

  Mike McCullough was the only player in the entire field, who had one round under 70 for the tournament & he finished 14th with 77 75 69 75 - 296.

  Cheers,

  Waz.

  Hi Judge - I’ll go with Jon Rahm for this week please.

  My favourite memory goes all the way back to 1987 when a certain Sandy Lyle flew the flag for Europe and got him attention in the US, 2 years after winning the Open at RSG. He was a favourite of mine growing up and he then went on the next year to claim his green jacket at Augusta. One heck of a ball striker back in the day. 

  Thanks

  Thank you

  Rory McIlroy
  

  hmmmnnn…. Will have to think about that.

  Okay, the 17th hole, enough said, but 1999 Couples hole in 3.  Just love watching this hole.  Fowler in 2015.

  Collin Morikawa for me please at the Players...

  My favourite Players memory is the completely unexpected win in 2002 by Kiwi outsider Craig Perks especially as he played the last three holes on Sunday in three under par to win by a single stroke - and I was staying in Auckland with NZ chums at the time... 

  The 2002 Players Championships produced one of the most surprising winners in the tournaments – and PGA Tour history. An unheralded Craig Perks, ranked 256th in the world rankings, claimed what would be his only career win on the PGA Tour.

  The New Zealander went into the final round in second place, a stroke behind leader Carl Paulson. However, Paulson, who scored 69 in each of the first three rounds, carded 77 in the final round to finish tied for fourth.

  This opened the door for Perks’ unlikely win – although it looked like he would surrender his chance of glory after playing the first 15 holes at three over par. In a surprising end to a surprising tournament, he went onto hit an eagle, a birdie and a par in the last three holes to finish a stroke clear of runner-up Stephen Ames.
