Dukies on the 2025 PGA and LPGA Tours

Tee times in Phoenix, MST:

Max 8:59
Alex 1:28
Kevin 1:28

Yep, Alex and Kevin playing together.

Alex in 9th place of the AON Swing 5, about 30 points behind 5th place. Kevin would need a standalone 3rd-place finish this weekend to have a chance of playing Riviera.

Re Max, I know he's one of ours, but I'd call this out if it were any other golfer. How does he withdraw after a bad round on Saturday citing a hand injury, and be ready to compete on Thursday? Because he's not resting, to be ready these guys have to be swinging a club virtually every day. It's a bad look...if he plays well he was BSing on Saturday, if he plays poorly then he took a spot that should have gone to an alternate. Shades of Rodney Dangerfield.

BTW, the WM Open is the most highly-attended golf tournament in the world, pulling in over 700,000 spectators. Wow. "The Greatest Show on Grass" has the loudest hole in golf: #16, check out the picture if you don't know:

A friend of mine who is mid-late 40s does a guys trip there every year from the east coast - he has two kids, one in college. I think on Friday they get to the 16th before dawn and spend the day being drunk and stupid. He is a Duke fan so I will tell him to cheer extra loud for our guys.
