That sloppy double bogey (great description) cost him an outright 2nd place finish and upwards of a million dollars. I can't decide whether the chunk from the fairway, the inexcusable chip to above the hole or the mindless 3 whack was the worst of the bunch. That meltdown from the fairway in and Justin Thomas' miracle bounce across the bridge cost Matt a chance at the W in extra holes.
A major in his future? Lesser players have achieved that, but I think the odds are stacked against him. I see him as having a very lucrative career much like Luke had a decade ago. He'll be an ATM without winning much of anything. A consistent WGR top 20-50 player with all the playing perks that go with it, and lots of top 10s, which BTW is pretty damn awesome/elite. Problem for Matt is that the best have distanced themselves from the field (much like OSU football has done in the BIG) and there are more elite level players joining the tour all the time.
