Ty shot another 2 over today for a total of 7 over, holding up the bottom of the pack. Guess he'll have to wait for next year or get a job in a pro-shop somewhere.

He was in a skills competition about four years ago with a bunch of well known pros and darned if he didn't win it. But I think that was his last shot at glory.
Just goes to show that PGA Tour golf isn't Major League baseball or NBA hoops - the straight to pros route just doesn't work. Heck, even that Tiger guy went to school a few years before saying "Hello, World". I don't know if someone steered that kid wrong or if he just really thought he had it together, but it's been such a struggle for him and he really has little to show for it. Even Justin Rose had a major struggle after that incredible Open Championship showing. He's finally coming into his own. Wie is uber-talented but has yet to win on any tour - it's not that she's not capable, it just hasn't happened. This may be a game for all ages, but maturity seems to breed success in many cases.
In Ty's case when he was 15 he shot 65's, now he's 21 or 22 he shoots 75's. And he's probably puzzled by it all.
The weight of huge expectations at a young age can do that to a person. He's still young...hopefully he can turn it around and become a successful pro sometime.

Its strange how that goes, TY's career fizzled while at the same age Tiger's blossomed. It remains to be seen which path Wie will take.
I haven't given up on Ty he may yet get it sorted out. ( See Justin Rose ).
I've not seen Ty's swing or anything like that but I'd be willing to guess his putting has left him. I mean, the only true difference between a 70's shooter and a 60's shooter is short game, mainly making putts. I'm sure his swing is still sound and very capable of hitting the ball, but if you are not making putts you are going to be a 70's shooter, period.
My friend Lee Williamson is in the finals!!!! I wish I could go caddy for him!!!
That'd be fun. Good luck to your friend. Now that we know he's affiliated with a fellow member, he'll be someone to keep an eye on if he gains his card.

Billy Joe Royal’s one big hit was Down in the Boondocks.
I'm sure Ty's finding that out.
