I’m glad that Rham is on our side for the RC. That 3 from short off the green was awesome.

Looks more and more like a straight shoot out between Rahm and Cantlay this, no one else seems to be able to get in striking distance
If Cantlay can win 2 weeks running then the hat will be doffed, Rahm surely takes all the beating the way hes playing

Koepka withdrawn with what they think is a wrist injury too, hope he wasnt heckled all the way off the course 
What a pitch shot from Hojgaard on the 18th, these brothers ain’t half bad ?
Joaquin Niemann was last out, on his own and decided to have some fun. 1hr 53mins to do his 18. He ran a few fairways, he wanted to beat Kevin Na's previous speed record. Nice to see a bit of character.

'Upon completing his round, PGA Tour officials called Niemann and his caddy over for a word in the scorer’s tent. It sure sounded ominous.
“Listen, as a professional, you have disrespected the game,” they said. “You have disrespected the Tour Championship. This is not how professionals act. … Here’s a fine for $10,000.” '
Before they told them that was a wind up!
+2, not too shabby.

If I heard correctly, the PGA Tour Championship host broadcaster just said they are showing the last 9 holes uninterrupted by commercials.

If the scores were to remain as they are, Rahm would’ve outperformed Cantlay in 14 of their 18 combined starts dating backed to Winged Foot, and two of three Playoff events. Cantlay’s four include Muirfield Village, where he was well behind Rahm only for latter to WD with Covid.

And Cantlay would win the FedEx Cup. Now, I don’t need telling that ‘this is how playoffs work!’ because, well, it isn’t really. But also because that’s kind of my point: applying systems which ‘work’ in other sports doesn’t guarantee they’ll work in this one.

And this system is ***. Truly, I hope Cantlay beats Rahm by two or three shots to help underline that point.

Brilliant from Rahm and Cantlay
How Rahm isnt the tour champ this season I really dont understand (and hopefully theyll rethink this abortion of a finale again now) but hats off to Cantlay how hes played and closed out the last 2 weeks!

Cantlay wins by a shot on -21, Rahm burned the edge 3 or 4 times the last 5 holes, some stunning golf from both at times

Very high quality from both. The nerve of Cantlay in particular has to be admired. Rahm tracked him for 2 rounds and he stood firm.
If you want to create an exciting last tournament that is easy to follow then it hard to beat the current system. You can have a fairer system but the last tournament then becomes just another tournament where the tour champ can be known before teeing off. This system creates a clear and exciting finish to the year.

It's the way throughout sports these days.
In this country both codes of rugby have adopted systems whereby the champions are not necessarily the team that topped the regular season.
And football has the play-offs to determine promotion spots.
It can be said that none of these are fair but they are exciting.
Would the drama last night have been as great if it was already known who was Tour Champion?
