Moore Makes History: First To Notch PGA Tour Win In A Castro Cap

And check out the Al Capone shoes too...and the beard is definitely keeping the memory alive of the hat's namesake. Wait, he's still alive. He'll never die.

I of course, did not watch the Wyndham Championship won by Ryan Moore because I'm still under doctor's orders to not watch any telecast featuring Bobby Clampett, who is prone to say things such as, "this is such a frozen rope I'm collecting the icicles."

Okay, so he really did say that Sunday. Reader Rob shared that great moment in announcing history.

And say, it sure speaks volumes about the importance of the final regular season tournament prior to the all important playoffs PLAYOFFS when CBS sends Clampett?

Helen Ross tells us about runner-up Kevin Stadler, and more importantly, the news that Todd Hamilton, Jeff Maggert and Johnny Mathis are in the playoffs. Err....David Mathis.

Here are the updated standings for those of you eager to start crunching the possibilities.

No logos either.

[Jed]

What a sloppy looking player.

[MacDuff]

I thought Logoless was a character from "Lord Of The Rings" until i discovered Ryan Moore.

[Average Golfer]

"Best use so far of the Federal Witness Protection Program"

[Dirk]

I enjoyed it. Unorthodox guy, Unorthodox swing, two clobbered drivers on 18 in the playoff.

[Sir Shanksalot]

Don't hate, guys. Ryan Moore is what this tour needs. Not a bunch of money-hungry, tournament-losing whiners.

[sergio]

agreed sir shanks. Jed - sloppy? are you kidding? dude's swing is a work of art - his shirt is tucked, and just because it isn't branded with ASHWORTH or PUMA or whatever (sidenote - ever try to buy an unlogo'd golf shirt? american apparel perhaps?).

the shoes are cool and the vibe is cooler. the golf world needs more of moore and less of clones like Jason Bohn (sorry Jason - guilt by logo/golf swing today).

and love the shortporch on the cap - not to mention best beard since Frank Nobilo.

[Styles]

Pretty sure Camillo had the El Jefe Maximo hat on when he won last year

[George]

We can only be thankful that Clifford Roberts has been spared the sight of such dubious sartorial choices.

[Steven T.]

Not only Clifford Roberts has been spared the sight of Ryan Moore. How about Herbert Warren Wind or even Ben Hogan?

[RM]

You guys don't know what the hell you're talking about. Moore reminds me of a young Arnold Palmer with that classic, slim cut, no-frills shirt. Sure he adds a bit of en edge with the hat and beard, but there is a foundation of vintage nostalgia to Ryan Moore. Any player on the PGA TOUR® that buys his own clothes is to be celebrated. We need to embrace a player with a unique swing, and he has an understated coolness about him, as opposed to say Ian Poulter, who is cool, but it is always too evident just how hard he is trying to be cool.

[Erik J. Barzeski]

I'm with RM.

[RM]

And speaking of clothes...what's up with Bill Haas' look. Is he wearing his dad's hand-me-downs from the 80's? He 's one of the worst dressed players on tour. Everything is two sizes too big, which seems to be a preferred look on the Champions Tour, but not for a young, sharp kid. He is in serious need of a make-over.

[dimple]

Sergio, shanksalot, RM.... All completely on the money.

I'm not sure why there seems to be such hostility from some of you guys against Moore, maybe it's cause he could clobber your brains out on the golf course wearing clothes you couldn't even fit into, and turn around and steal your wife or girlfriend without breaking a sweat...

[vwgolfer]

I agree with RM.

[David Stamm]

Sloppy dresser. I respect the fact that he buys his own attire, but the guy has no sense of style. He looks like shows up to paint your house.The acid test is the ladies. If I happen to be watching and he's on camera and there is a lady near by and they see him, I quite often hear "Ew, what's up with the clothes?"

[Pete the Luddite]

Add me to the RM school of thought here.

Hell, this guy looks like me...beard, logoless shirt. If only I had the swing and the paycheck!

[Ky Laffoon's Ghost]

Count me in with RM et al. I think Ryan has a great sense of style. Including the beard and the cap. What he lacks is the (sic) sense of fashion illustrated by most of the other players on TOUR. One example: Those bowling shirts that Furyk wears, for a price. As for Poulter, fashionable, yes. But Doug Sanders and Jimmy Demaret had more style in their shoelaces than he has in his entire "line."

Bobby Clampett was on fire yesterday. When he wasn't regaling us with stories of how 'gnarly' the '419 strain of Bermuda' was, he was computing the 'heighth' of things. I was a little vague on why the area code of the Bermuda was relevant, but still, a bang up job.
