Looks like he will end up t-22 which should get him $170k or so

Saw a story on (ESPN Sports that Kevin Streelman has torn his meniscus and will soon have surgery to repair it. No mention of how he did it (maybe jumping up from his chair when watching one of Cooper Flagg's monster dunks?) or how long he may be away from the tour. Let's hope for a full and speedy recovery.

Anyone have a sense of how long he will be out for? Seems far from ideal for a 46-year old golfer. Hope he is OK, recovers well and can be back out there soon.

See my comment on what John Sterling said about talking about a no hitter/perfect game.
If I can influence an outcome from a bazillion miles away, I want to be paid more too!
Time for the 5th Major, The Players Championship.
Alex 8:02 EDT
Max 12:56 EDT
Now we'll get to see what Alex is made of, this is the toughest field in golf and I hope he continues his strong play. It's his signature event (since he's just been missing qualification for those) with the same points to be won. Except for the winner, but if he wins the points won't matter because he's gonna get a raft of exemptions. These elevated points are important, a top-10 would move him up about 20 spots.
Speaking of signature events, I wonder how the sponsors of the other events are feeling since top golfers are skipping their tournaments. With the elevated points and money, they don't need to show up. Among the golfers who have played nothing else are McIlroy, Morikawa, Cantlay, Hovland, Fleetwood, Scott, and Zalatoris. Scheffler has only played 1 non-signature event, and probably only played there because he won it 2 of the past 3 years and past champions (especially recent) are kinda expected to show up.
I don't think that is good for the Tour.

Not Duke related, but I just saw that Tiger has torn his left Achilles tendon and had surgery to repair it. So much for play the majors this season.

I can relate, sort of. I went through the same. I tore my left Achilles tendon and had surgery to repair it. It's not a lot of fun.
For me though, I was a youngster just out of college. Youngsters heal faster.
He turns 50 at the end of the year. Time to dominate and set records on the Senior Tour.
Great round by Alex, -4 and T1. In the 3rd group out so a lot of golf left today, but only 27 of the morning golfers are under par. The course is playing tough, I think the rough is especially more than you see in regular tournaments.
Here are some current scores of some golfers you'll recognize: Justin Thomas +7, Max Homa +7, Viktor Hovland +8.

I started to post his score and leaderboard position several times this morning but I didn’t want to give you a heart attack.

Max sunk an 11-foot putt for a quadruple bogey on #17 -- two shots in the water. Ended at +2.
How could they not finish? It was a beautiful day and they started at 7:40. The Tour really needs to do something about slow play.
Alex dropped further than I expected, I don't know if the better players had afternoon tee times or the course (conditions) got easier. He's still in very good shape, Max has some work to do. Tomorrow looks to be another beautiful day, expect the cut to be around -1.

Yeah, he's going to have to go at least -5 over his final 14 holes. Doesn't look good.
Oof. I thought he was going to double but he missed a 2'5" putt. He's done, apparently given up on the round.
