The PGA Championship 2022 – Behind the scene from CaddiePlayer by Hello Birdie

We looked into the data of the players who missed the cut by one shot only. Where and why here we go! 

Phil Mickelson did not defend his PGA Championship title and Tiger Woods regret it but then what about these 9 players who missed the PGA Championship cut by only one shot?

There are many reasons and areas where to make a score, according to Ian Poulter, who missed the cut by one.  the weather was his reason. 8 Players had 8 other reasons to do so.... at the end all we will remember is Justin Thomas and his Caddie Jim (Bones) Mackay!

When Legends are Legends: Brier beats Youngsters and Kingston 57 SwingScore...

Graz, Austria with Stephane Barras

As we say the golf ball doesn't know our age and the score doesn't show how but how many.

Welcome to Austria where the landscape is green and the houses all the other colors. From Salzburg to Graz passing through St Wolfgang by the lake. If you like romance this is where you need to stop over and if you have energy walk up the 3 hours trail to Schafberg highest Austrian's Hotel.

Strange enough walking up the Schafberg trail, which I did, I crossed more seniors that juniors probably because it was a week day. Still seniors these days are in good shape and the LegendsTour can be a good exemple to look up too.

At 59 this is were I get my inspiration from and what Markus Brier (53) and James Kingston (57)  achieved in Austria is something to remember.

First, James Kingston a two times winner on the European Tour playing the Riegler and Partner Legends at Murhof Golf Club Saturday's round reaching 16 greens in regulations among them tree par5's in two for a stunning SwingScore of 57! James playing last group on Sunday to finish runner up to cool caddie less, Euan Mcintosh.   

Golf Club Murhof (Murhof Gruppe) has been fundamental in providing a successful journey in the development of Austrian golf; it is one of the only clubs in the country that has been able to build up an international reputation. 

Then came the Gosser open 30th edition a Alps Tour "Raising Golf Star" event where futur generation are hoping to finish the season top 5 to graduate for the Challenge tour, the door way to the top of golf.

At the Gosser playing at Maria Lankowitz golf club I followed some rockies when in the clubhouse having lunch pumped into Markus Brier with a 66 to congratulate him and as a joke said: "Tomorrow you win to show the jungsters that the seniors are still around" he laugh at me with another 66 and history was made...

"This is probably the most surprising victory that I celebrated in my professional career." Markus Brier

Ryan and Matti, new era from the Desert Swing... from Dubai to St-Moritz a new era of Data.

From Dubai to St-Moritz

I just ended my 2 months Dubai lifestyle with a flight to St-Moritz, Switzerland where I have been appointed by a CaddiePlayer.

I could write a book about all the peoples, the stories I was involve with in Dubai. I never saw Dubai so busy! Expo2020...? Not sure as many decided to make it their permanent home. From celebreties Tour Pros to Cyber Billionaires, Dubai has become the place to be, to live as we say in French "Le monde attire le monde" and Dubai is the King of marketing.

And then there was Covid... the last thing you want to meet!

"Mid-December it was like Dubai was Covid free then by New year eve it's like every one I knew caught it!"

Despite spending Christmas and New Year festive avoiding crowed, Covid did not care, found me and with it my "home alone" 10 days quarantine journey began. It was a interesting challenge that I had to wait 58 years to experiment. Not stepping out for 10 days with no TV limited internet access and YOU AND ONLY YOU to face with. Welcome to Tom Hanks "Kast Away" in 70 square meters flat. 

My Covid good news was the timing, early January its always the best time to reflect.

For me it was about CaddiePlayer & PuttZones, revising lots of data and thanks to the "New Era" of the DPWorld Tour, data have never been so accessible! 

Once I was Covid release, I was ready for the Desert Swing: 4 events > Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, Slync.io Dubai Desert Classic, Ras al Khaimah Championship and Ras al Khaimah Classic.

"To make the experience even more live, I went on to follow two players I believe belongs to the "New Era" of Golf: Ryan Fox and Matti Schmid."

I was not disappointed as they both play to another league. Should we name it the "Power League"? Meaning massive drives, most Pars5 in two and wedges into Pars4. Statistically this leads to more times putting from Zone3 = The Birdie Zone.

Ryan Fox went on to win the Rak al Khaimah Classic (See below PuttZones breakdown, Ryan was the Desert Swing Most Zone3 versus Zone4 (25-21) attempts winners), Matti shall win pretty soon. THE MASTERS is not far away. 

Cheers from St-Moritz - Switzerland, skiing is like putting (Slope, Speed, Control) until next time #IamCaddiePlayer Stephane PuttZones Founder.
