Last year Chris Kirk won this event as the Tour makes it way to the TPC of Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship. Is he playing well enough to put in your fantasy team this week? We reckon Keegan Bradley is a good shoout, with no worse than a top 16 finish in the event, while Jordan Spieth shot a 62 in his final round in 2013. That Barclays missed cut was only a blip...
Anyone who watched The Barclays will realise Jason Day is playing golf on a different planet to everyone else at the moment. He is absolutely munching his TaylorMade R15 460 driver off the tee, while his Spider proto putter was holing putts for fun, with a 29ft, and 33ft putts made in his final round.
Two time major winner, and GolfPunk legend John Daly was last night rushed to hospital after collapsing on the 18th tee at Deerfield Golf Club. Daly who placed at No.4 in our Top 50 GolfPunks, was playing a small tournament in Jackson, Mississippi when he had breathing difficulties on the last hole.
Jordan Spieth missed the cut this week at The Barclays. It happens. We got so used to Tiger Woods being seemingly infallible when he was World Number One that everyone panics that the end of the world is nigh when the official best player in the world misses the cut. A panic that Jordan will never play a good round again. Yet even the best don’t play the weekend every tournament.
How to hustle the President of America at golf...
We’ve just tracked down The Golf Spiv for the first time since his Major success at Whistling Straights. Having backed winner Jason Day, and place returns on Grace at 80-1, and Koepka at 45-1, he’s still slurring his speech. Unfortunately all his winnings are now The Dog & Duck's August profit margins...
Brandon Grace looks the real deal. Proven winner, he’s just 27, and has 6 European tour wins already. So what else do we know about him? Well apparently he likes a drink…
Brian Gaffney, club proffesional at Quaker Ridge Golf Club, part-time real estate agent, full-time nice guy. With a 71 final round, Gaffney was the best club pro in the field, and is in a tie for 71st place as this is posted.
Anirban Lahiri has been in the mix all week, but we think he has been slightly ignored with all the other drama going on around him, which doesn’t seem quite fair given his achievements this week.
Tony Finau has had an up and down week at The Barclays, but what a way to finish the tournament, finishing at five under, and tied 16th. The big hitting Hawaiian pulverised the ball down 18, hitting a 306 yard drive over the trees and to within 12 ft of the pin. The rest was easy...
Dustin Johnson is really good at golf as he proved at the PGA Championship. Much better than us definitely, and when he's on top form there are very few who can keep up with him around Whistling Straits. We broke his first round down into numbers.
We at GolfPunkHQ have tremendous pleasure in announcing the winners of our massive prize draw.
