Cameron Champ wins his first PGA title

[Grantley1988]

A weak field but he’s managed to win on only his 9th PGA start. Star of the future for sure with the swing and easy power he has.
I’m off to the bookies to back him on a major whilst the odds are high!
Looking forward to watching him bomb it past Rory & co on tour this year.

Averages 30 yards longer than DJ off the tee!

Just watched his last round highlights, the other topic is doing him a disservice going on about his driving, his putting on the back 9 was fantastic.

Just watched the US Golf and he fires another low round 62 to get himself out in the final group with Kuch tomorrow. Such an athletic swing and with all his distance currently only 2nd in driving distance.... I'd need a driver and wedge at least to get level with one of his drives..

Some people are just monsters. I played in an invitational where there was a longest drive competition at one hole. I stepped up and hit my Sunday best.

I was only 130 yards behind the marker!!!

Some people are just animals, as well as bloody good golfers!!!

Champ is definitely creating a storm at the moment and it bodes well for him going forward although I'm sure he'll soon find out there are some places where bombing it isn't always the smart play. He's got playing rights thanks to the won so he'll be around and learn his trade but I'm not sure I see major potential in his game although any player on any given week has to have a chance

He went to pieces yesterday. I should know. I had Christmas sorted if he didn’t 😥

And that's to be expected. A lot of hype around him in the last few weeks and he's done well to be in contention so close to a recent win. I wonder if he simply ran out of energy mentally. Definitely not so good in comparison to the golf he has been playing. Might do him some good. What is it they say about learning more from the defeats?

All fair points. But I had the money spent already 😂

But whose your money on this week...

I had a little punt on champ as well so his last round blow was disappointing. But I think he will contend a few more.

How many times have I done that with Fulham in control and a bet to come in. Cash already mentally in the pocket and spent only for them to do what they normally do and cock it up. He had a chance but never really got it going yesterday did he?

I don’t get how you can say he doesn’t have major potential? Every single player that bombs it has major potential.

On the tight courses it means he can hit less club off the tee and still be able to reach with short irons where as others have to hit driver.

 

[garyinderry]

I havnt seen much of him but excited to see how he progresses.

I did see him duff an 8iron from 235 onto the green. Hahaha crazy.

 

[scratchauthority]

If he can hit that far and keep up his accuracy and consistency too then he's got to be a contender going forward for sure!

 

[Wolf]

He's at it again - 5 through 13 holes and 1 off the lead.

If he can keep this up the kids going to have a huge year
