Lipsky is having a breakout year on the PGA tour. Tied for the lead in New Orleans with an 11 under par 61 in round one. He has been making cuts throughout the season. Star in the making?

How are "team" members in New Orleans chosen? Self-selected, or randomly drawn, or what? I really don't know. Agree that it would be great for two ex-Cats to be together, but I don't see evidence that it can be done.
Best Ball format with two man teams. (Ie those are not one person scores)
Self-selected. That’s why there’s been things like Brooks Koepka playing with his brother in past years, or a PGA player playing with a friend from the Korn Ferry tour.
Thanks, didn't realize that. So, Patrick Cantlay didn't shoot 59 by himself. He had help from Xander.
Indeed. Ryan Palmer has received a lot of press this week for his ability to select partners (last three have been Jordan Speith, Jon Rahm -- with whom he won, and this week Scottie Scheffler. He apparently recruited Scottie by photoshopping his picture onto the winning photo taken of himself and Rahm from 2 years ago.
After three rounds, Lipsky in third and Wu in eighth. Looking good.
Wu and his partner, Justin Lower, had just an awful back 9 putting. They showed Wu's chip to 4 feet on 18 for a birdie, but Lower missed to remain -22 .
Finishes:
Lipsky-Rai -23, t-4th, Lipsky now 97th in FedEx list.
Wu-Lower -22, t-10th, Wu now 158th in FedEx.
Both in the field, Luke Donald as well, next week in Mexico.

I watched it! Bad putting Still top ten for both!
I believe it was a 7-under 64, but the point still stands. That was the best second shot I've seen into 18, had a good look at eagle. Currently projected to move up to 75th in the FedEx standings.
I watched the tournament and was surprised at how athletic and young these guys were! They all hit it 325 with their drives and were able to hit long irons 240 easy! New game when any par five under 560 is easily reachable in 2 shots! You can’t make the course long enough for these guys!
Golf has evolved in the past 30 years. The improved properties of the ball and clubs have made many courses obsolete for the elite player. The Trackman monitor and others allow players to achieve maximum swing and ball mechanics. If you multiply your swing speed by 2.7, you can determine your maximum driving distance(example 100mph x 2.7=270 yards) Most of us will be disappointed by the numbers we can generate. Relying on golf for a retirement activity can be very frustrating. Moving to more forward tees is antithetical to the male persona. My club put in “Silver Tees” between the white and red tees but they are not used because the members have named them the “transgender tees” as they are between the men‘s and women’s tees.
Impossible to stop a 135 mile an hour serve! Just like a routine 325 yard drive gives a wedge to many greens! Who can compete? Scottie Scheffler is a beast like the rest of em!
Lipsky in contention for another top ten finish after firing two straight 66s at this week's tour stop.
