Golf in these times: ArizonaGolf in these times: Arizona

GILBERT, Ariz. — Parking was at a premium on a seasonably sunny day at Western Skies Golf Club. Whizzing golf carts, hopeful thwacks on the range, the clickety-clack of spikes and the splash of a fountain contributed to the relaxing vibe. Freshly grilled meat and the unmistakable stench of a cigar penetrated the air. Yet, this was anything but business as usual on a Thursday in mid-March. GOLF IN THESE TIMES California: Ben Everill plays historic Rancho Park just before city courses in Los Angeles are shut down Massachusetts: Jim McCabe sees the start of golf season delayed at Presidents Golf Course If the visual of participants of a small private outing sanitizing their steering wheels didn’t serve as enough of an example of this unprecedented time, seeing pro golfers compete at an event on the Outlaw Tour — a four-year-old developmental circuit based in Arizona that shared the course for three days — was also an oddity. After all, other tours, including of course the PGA TOUR, have canceled tournaments. “We discussed it,” said Western Skies Classic tournament director Jesse Burghart, an Arizona native and composed presence for the competitors. “There are a lot of players who still wanted to play in something. We felt like, if the golf courses were open and we took the necessary precautions, it was still OK to go ahead. Ultimately, it’s the player’s decision to tee it up.” So, 56 players competed in the 54-hole tournament on a modified par 70 tipping at just 6,656 yards. Thirty-three survived the 36-hole cut, of which 18 cashed. On this Thursday, the winner would be crowned. Burghart implemented numerous safeguards to eliminate the threat of transference of the COVID-19 virus and other pathogens. Water in a cooler and tees were not made available. It was agreed that no one would shake hands. Some golfers opted to walk to promote social distancing. (Walking will be required for all tournaments in the foreseeable future.) Canada’s Wil Bateman, a lefty who plays the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica (where he’s won once, in 2015) emerged with victory in a three-way playoff with birdie on the first extra hole. In compliance, only fist bumps were shared thereafter. It was an experience that challenged restraint, which isn’t easy for mostly 20-somethings on the Outlaw Tour, but there was no such governor on scoring at Western Skies. Heavy rain that suspended play in Wednesday’s second round left the short course vulnerable for the finale. In addition to a pair of 60s, a 61 and two 62s (including Bateman’s second of the tournament), Jared du Toit made history with a bogey-free 59. The first-ever sub-60 on the Outlaw Tour featured one eagle and nine birdies. “Honestly, I didn’t think about it too much until late,” du Toit said before losing in the playoff that also included 36-hole leader Carson Roberts. “Brandon [Harkins, who shot 60] and I were going back and forth, like all day. He had the upper hand on me for most of it, and I got hot late. All of a sudden, I thought, ‘This is a par 70 and I’m at nine [under] with a couple to play. I got a good chance.’ “I had a good look on 17. I was mad at the time – it didn’t go in – because I would have loved to have been able to par 18, but I got away with my tee shot. It finished close to the cart path. Had 105 yards in and hit a wedge to 6-7 feet and made it.” For du Toit, a 24-year-old native of Calgary, Alberta, who medaled at the PGA TOUR Latinoamérica’s qualifying tournament in Mexico in January, it wasn’t the first time he’s made headlines. At Glen Abbey Golf Club in the 2016 RBC Canadian Open and competing as an amateur, he sat one stroke off Brandt Snedeker’s 54-hole lead before finishing in a four-way tie for ninth. Du Toit’s memorable achievement piggybacked yet another on the mini-tour. The week prior, two-time LPGA major champion Anna Nordqvist became the first female to compete on the Outlaw Tour. Proving her spot in the Moon Valley Classic in playing from the same tees (7,215 yards) as the guys, she co-led when she opened with a bogey-free, 8-under 64. She’d finish T28. (The same week as the Western Skies, Nordqvist prevailed on the Cactus Tour, also at Moon Valley Country Club.) Harkins, a former PGA TOUR member who finished T4 at Western Skies – he also won the Outlaw Tour’s Papago Winter Classic in early December – currently is 11th in points on the Korn Ferry Tour. He lives locally and hopes to play as much as he can but acknowledged that making plans isn’t easy. It’s a reality to which everyone can relate. “We’re in a holding pattern,” he said. “We really don’t quite know [what’s next]. No one really knows. “I’m really good friends with [PGA TOUR member] Joel Dahmen. We were just talking about it last night at dinner. He’s like, ‘Man, I don’t know what to say.’ He doesn’t know what he’s going to do on TOUR. Likewise for me. I guess, just wait to see what happens these next few weeks.” Harkins arguably was the most notable in the field at Western Skies, but other recognizable surnames peppered the tee sheet. They included Thomas Lehman, Eric Hallberg and Sam Triplett, sons of Tom, Gary and Kirk, respectively, winners of a combined 11 PGA TOUR events and 21 tournaments on the PGA TOUR Champions. Both Tom and Gary were on site supporting their boys. Tom also backed the decision to keep playing. “I think it’s a really safe thing to do,” said the senior Lehman. “Golf kind of has a built-in, social-distancing concept. You don’t get inside the other player’s space. You can play a round of golf with people and you don’t get up close and personal.” “I saw a doctor on television saying, ‘Golf is one of the safest things you can do. I would encourage you to do it because sunshine and heat are things that work in our favor with this virus.’ Exercise always does.” The 1996 PGA TOUR Player of the Year, ’96 Open champion and one-time top-ranked golfer in the world plans to play a lot of golf as the industry muscles through the crisis, but he hasn’t lost focus on what matters most – to keep living. “I think it’s a really good time to accomplish a lot of things you’ve always wanted to accomplish, whether personally or professionally or within the family,” Lehman added. “It’s a great time because we’re kind of forced to slow down. “So, that’s one thing I’m really excited about, actually, is having at least eight weeks to be able to accomplish some of these things I’ve always wanted to do but never really had the chance and the time to do it.” Not that succeeding at one’s profession, while still possible, takes a back seat, however. In between FaceTimes with friends and family en route to his vehicle in the still-packed lot, an enthusiastic Bateman expressed what it means still to have the chance to achieve. While his original plan to return home later in April may be modified, and as we all live in uncertainty, no one ever will be able to take away his title at the Western Skies Classic. “Every day, I wake up and I’m able to come to the golf course and play,” he said. “I just feel like it’s just an opportunity. Seems to me that when I’m out there, with all of this stuff going on, it’s a place to just stay calm.” That’s what any tournament director wants to hear. In fact, if early indications are accurate, the Outlaw Tour will be a destination for a number of familiar faces to stay sharp. “I have some friends that play the PGA TOUR and the Korn Ferry Tour that I’ve gotten to know the last few years,” Burghart said. “They’ve reached out to me, asking if we were going to continue to play. So, we will most likely start to see a few of them enter our next few fields.” Coming Thursday: Helen Ross on the PGA TOUR’s two events in North Carolina.

A season unlike any other comes to a thrilling conclusion at the TOUR ChampionshipA season unlike any other comes to a thrilling conclusion at the TOUR Championship

ATLANTA - This week was never guaranteed, which should make us that much more grateful that it is here. Even PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan admitted there were moments he doubted this season would see its completion. "It's been a long road," he said Wednesday at East Lake Golf Club, site of the season-ending TOUR Championship. This season has traversed a tumultuous year in this country's history. Golf can serve as a diversion during such times, or even better, as an inspiration. And the world's best players have done that by producing their best performances in the midst of so much turmoil. We would be remiss, however, if we didn't acknowledge that we've faced issues much bigger than golf this year. Matters of life and death, of justice and morality. A single golf shot cannot change the world, but the TOUR and its players have committed to using their platform for good. On Wednesday, PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan announced that the TOUR will commit $100 million over 10 years toward organizations that benefit racial equity and inclusion efforts. Players from Cameron Champ to Jon Rahm have spoken out against the issues that roil our country. "The truth is the PGA TOUR and many PGA TOUR players do an outstanding job with the platform that we have to help communities all around the country," Rahm said Wednesday. "We play 40-plus weeks a year, and each week we help a community." That impact isn't always felt by people hundreds or thousands of miles from an event, but millions tune in each week to be awed by elite players performing unfathomable feats. We've seen plenty of that this season. Just look at the first two weeks of the FedExCup Playoffs. Dustin Johnson put on arguably the best performance of his Hall of Fame career, breaking a barrier that's never been breached outside the Sentry Tournament of Champions and its unique venue. En route to an 11-shot win at THE NORTHERN TRUST, Johnson became the first person to shoot 30 under in a PGA TOUR event outside of the par-73, Coore-and-Crenshaw designed course at Kapalua. A week later, Johnson holed a 43-footer on the final hole to force a playoff with Rahm at the BMW Championship. How did the Spaniard respond? With a 66-footer for birdie on the first extra hole. It's believed to be the longest putt holed on the final hole of a tournament by the winner since ShotLink started measuring strokes in 2003. We've also seen 23-year-old Collin Morikawa establish himself as a star after suffering heartbreak in the first event back from the season's cessation. He missed a short putt to lose the Charles Schwab Challenge to Daniel Berger but responded with wins at the Workday Charity Open and PGA Championship. Of the 13 events held since the season was halted by the coronavirus pandemic, more than half have been won by a top-10 player in the world. And that doesn't include the two wins from Morikawa, who jumped into the top 10 after his win at the PGA Championship. For the first time in history, the top three in the FedExCup and Official World Golf Ranking mirror each other at East Lake. Johnson, Rahm and Justin Thomas have established themselves as the TOUR's leading trio. But so much still hangs in the balance with just five days remaining in the PGA TOUR season. The FedExCup will be awarded to the player atop the TOUR Championship's leaderboard on Monday evening. But that's not all. The PGA TOUR's Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year awards are up for grabs, as well. Those races are still too close to call. Like the FedExCup, they could come down to the final putt at Atlanta's East Lake Golf Club. The rookie race comes down to Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland. Scheffler could be the second consecutive player to win the Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year and PGA TOUR Rookie of the Year awards in consecutive years. Sungjae Im did it last year. Before him, only one player, Stewart Cink, had accomplished that feat. Scheffler, who's 17th in the FedExCup, finished fourth in both a FedExCup Playoffs event (THE NORTHERN TRUST) and a major (PGA Championship). He also had two third-place finishes this season, and shot a 59. Viktor Hovland, on the other hand, has something Scheffler does not: a win. Hovland's came at the Puerto Rico Open. He also finished third in the Workday Charity Open and ranks 27th in the FedExCup. He probably needs to surpass Scheffler this week to have a chance at taking home top rookie honors. The race for Player of the Year is much more wide open. At least one-fifth of the TOUR Championship field has a chance at the Player of the Year trophy, which is voted on by the players. Justin Thomas leads the TOUR with three wins this season, including the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational. Another five players have won twice this season (strangely, we've seen more multiple winners in this shortened season than we did last season). Any of those two-time winners can lay claim to the Player of the Year Award if they win the FedExCup. Not only would the TOUR Championship be their third win of the year, but it would come with the prize of the FedExCup, which awards season-long excellence. The group of players with two wins includes Johnson, Rahm, who has conquered two of the four hardest courses this season (Muirfield Village, Olympia fields); Webb Simpson, a medium-length driver thriving in an era of long hitters; Brendon Todd, whose comeback from oblivion would undoubtedly garner votes from his peers; and Morikawa, who was beat out by Matthew Wolff for college golf's top awards in 2019 but could be PGA TOUR Player of the Year a year later. Morikawa starts the first round at East Lake five strokes behind Johnson. It's the same position in which McIlroy started before winning last year's TOUR Championship and FedExCup. This is the second year of the TOUR Champioship's staggered start. Johnson, the FedExCup leader, starts at 10 under. Rahm is 8 under. And players farther down the FedExCup standings will start farther behind Johnson. Then, come Monday, the final leaderboard also represents the final FedExCup standings. One scoreboard. One championship. One trophy. The unique format plays mind tricks on the world's best players, disrupting their routines and throwing them out of their comfort zones. Many would consider the two-shot lead an advantage, but it's not that easy. At most tournaments, a player doesn't hold a lead until Thursday night. Johnson has been leading the TOUR Championship since he left Olympia Fields on Sunday night. That wears on a player. "You essentially have the pressure of the FedExCup on your shoulders four days in a row, even though you still need to play really good golf for four rounds," Rahm said. "It’s in your mind. Right? We’re constantly getting reminded, you’re No. 1, you’re No. 2, or your No. 3. I think if you’re behind it almost helps just because you already know where the leader is at." Thomas, who'd won the FedExCup just two years earlier, arrived at last year's TOUR Championship in the pole position of the FedExCup. He couldn't maintain the advantage, though, eventually finishing five behind McIlroy (even with the starting advantage). "It was weird. Nobody in golf can say that they have ever teed up on Thursday with a two-shot lead and leading the entire field, so I (didn't) know how to react, and nobody really would," Thomas said recently. "But I feel like I didn’t handle it as well as I should have." Whoever handles it the best this week can lay claim to being the best player in a PGA TOUR season unlike any other. That's a prize worth fighting for.
