Congrats to Scottie Scheffler, number 1 in the world and about to be, Masters champion! Hookem’!

Good thing he had that big lead in 18 after 4 putting. Other than that he was in complete control yesterday. Not sure but is that his third or fourth victory this year already?

Four so far this year PuckNut! He commented that the putting fiasco on 18 calmed his emotions quite a bit, so it was good for him to be able to hold it together with the family and at Butler Cabin! Good kid!

Another good article on wins and earnings PuckNut. I think he has around $18 million for his career to date.

Tom Hoge has a bit over $11 million in career earnings in comparison.

To lend a bit of reference to these:

“According to a new report from the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce (CEW), adults with a bachelor's degree earn an average of $2.8 million during their careers, $1.2 million more than the median for workers with a high school diploma.”

First round of the PGA Championship is almost in the books, and Tom Hoge is T2 at -4 one back of Rory.

On the 665 yard 5th, Scheffler got to within 10 feet of the hole in 2.
Hit his 2nd 306 yards setting up the short eagle.....
