Episode notes
Course Setup Made 17 And 18 Decisive
- The Players setup emphasized accuracy with firmer greens and thicker rough, funneling decisive action to 17 and 18.
- Joe House notes right-side rough on 18 made water sometimes the safer option than the rough.
Scheffler's Swing Change Shows Inconsistency
- Scotty Scheffler is in a temporary stasis because his iron swing has shortened and he's not hitting fairways enough for TPC Sawgrass's demands.
- Despite struggles, a 25th-ish finish is still a floor because his overall game remains elite.
Fitzpatrick's Fairway Mastery Almost Won It
- Matt Fitzpatrick won fairway accuracy, hitting roughly 83% of fairways, which fueled his run until 18 undone him.
- Nathan and Joe recalled that missing 18 cost him the title despite dominant accuracy all week.
