Rocket Mortgage Classic
Scottie is back! Yeah, well, he never left!
There really isn’t much question who the POY is going to be is there? Even if he doesn’t win again this season, I doubt anyone will match six wins. The ride won’t last forever – ask Tiger! So, have fun Scottie and ride the wave while it’s there.
Get ready for another birdie-fest this week. This will not be the “elite field” we been seeing the last few weeks. The winning score here has been over 20 under par for the last four years. Again, this week, I’m going light for two reasons:
- I haven’t been having much luck and just want a break – that’s also why this will be a very lazy article.
- When everyone is scoring this low, it’s damn near impossible to differentiate. On harder courses, you can eliminate some of the field barring a “career week” from a guy playing poorly. On courses like this? These guys ARE ALL THAT GOOD!
