Duke Alums on the 2024 PGA and LPGA Tours

So let's see how optimistic you really are. I don't gamble, but I'll make my first pie bet that Kevin is not in the top-125 on August 12. First come, first serve, I'll only take one bet. I feel bad for him, but my assessment of the evidence is that he won't make it. If your assessment is different, make the bet.

The man’s 45 years old. After caddying as a kid he’s traveled the world, playing the game he loves for 20+ years and made greater than 25 million dollars doing it. If you told him as a 15 year old caddy or a 20 year old Duke student that he’d still have his tour card 30/25 years later but be 170 something in the FedEx I’m pretty sure he would have jumped on that. I wouldn’t feel too bad for him.

Yes, a very fruitful and successful career. He can soon decide what he wants to do when he grows up (like the rest of us).

Or, like Bacot, he can go straight to social security having stretched a childhood fling with sport into a decades long career. :)


A query, if golf is your career, what do you do for recreation when you retire?

Complete TPS reports, sleep through Zoom calls and fill out time sheets.🥲

Play golf most days, but eschew practicing eight hours per day.

Boating. People say that you can have only one mistress - golf or boating, as either one dominates your weekend.

And with the money some of these golfers make, they can afford very nice boats.

Play hockey?
 
Kevin had one of the top 3 rounds of the morning going until the last 3 holes. Golf is unforgiving. He'll play the weekend, but go into it around 50th instead of 15th.

Bad ending; hope -1 makes the cut. Long and Greyserman have no chance.
 
Julian Suri is T23 over in Raleigh at the UNC Health Korn Ferry tournament. He starts the day at -1, five strokes off the pace. The course is a Donald Ross gem.
 
Kevin goes +2 and is currently T57. That is projected to keep him at #172 in the FedExCup standings. He HAS to get some top-20s. Max projected to drop to #113, Alex to #126.

They'll all miss the next 3 weeks, bummer for us watching. I don't know if any are trying to go through qualifying for the US Open.

Took me a few, but found out:

Streelman missed qualifying by 1 stroke in Dallas. Long also missed.

Greyserman and Smalley are both trying to qualify tomorrow. Of interest, the Duke GC is one of many host courses and Smalley will be at Duke tomorrow.😀

Thanks! Your google powers are stronger than mine, sensei. Certainly an advantage for Alex, do you know of any website that provides real-time tracking?

Also, do you know if they can qualify tomorrow or if that just gets them to the next round of qualifying?
 
Tomorrow is the final day for qualifying. 36 holes, 84 entrants at Duke. Brutal day. But I can't find how many will qualify, and there are 8 others courses in play tomorrow. I imagine maybe the top 5 or 6 at each course?

Durham forecast: Storms overnight, then cloudy all day in the low 80s, winds under 10 mph. They'll be shooting at the pins.

5 qualifiers and 2 alternates at Duke tomorrow. Numbers depend on size and quality of field. No idea about following scores in real time.
