When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD
Steve Elling posts his annual breadown of the best play of those who made all four major championship cuts.I suppose I was incorrect to suggest this would only shine a light on the Official World Golf Ranking. Looks like the women's Rolex Rankings will be scrutinized based on how it will add to the struggle to fill out the Olympic field.
This is from a reader who was curious about the Olympics and the proposed 60 player fields.
Using the current eligibility format as proposed by the IGF, you can go down the top 500 names on the women's Rolex Rankings (as of Aug. 13, the date of the IOC announcement) and not have enough players to get a 60-player field. You only get 58.
Of the top 100 players, only 26 get in.
Currently, only the top two from a country can get in. They'll probably need to take the top three eligible players to avoid digging into the AJGA Tour to round out the women's field.
You may recall that before the PGA I suggested that we would find out this year whether the clever, low rough setup at Southern Hills was an abberation or whether the less nuanced, high-rough hackout nonsense seen at Oak Hill and Oakland Hills was more typical of the modern PGA Championship.
