Patrick Reed Falls on Day 4 #dpworldtour

Patrick Reed still is winless despite so many quality starts and events in the past few years. what will his career look like long term?

what is happening guys we’re back in here talking this week about this weekend’s golf tournaments mainly in particularly the uh the DP World Tour and the Asian tour I haven’t looked too much into the uh into the PGA event and really just kind of looked through everything that goes on with it because it was kind of a just a more mainstream uh event you know obviously this is the part of the Year where a lot of the biger events are happening over in the DP World Tour aka the Scottish coming up pretty soon and then of course we have the Open Championship itself in a few weeks and this is kind of where that time of the year where a lot of the good stuff goes to the Europeans and I love that because at least they at least they get a time to shine in the sunlight you know and if you look over this week man we had the BMW International and that was a pretty cool event of itself you know uh obviously congrats for you and Ferguson for winning um and you know obviously also really cool to see David David Mitch mitchelly getting a chance uh to getting up in there at standings Mitchell Lucy if you don’t know was somebody who was on the australasia T for a while the PGA Australia and kind of won himself if you get high enough in their order of Merit you gain a DP World Tour membership for a year and so he’s taking the most of it and actually making it work getting himself some opportunities to be able to stay on that tour longer uh which you know that’s really cool to see also there was a live golfer in the ranks of the of that BMW Champion International open um which is of course Patrick Reed Patrick Reed was out there he actually beat former Liv golf player burned vburger by one shot in the end sadly you know Patrick Reed is somebody whom puts together so many good events and if you look over his his history of playing in these uh more bigger uh European events he has a a very solid history of good finishes uh you know very much especially in the in the uh in the uh uh Middle Eastern swing of the events that the DP World Tour does and then also of course in you know events like this the BMW the Scottish he he has a good history of playing well in these events parly because people always forget that Patrick Reed has been somebody who the majority of his career has played an insane amount of events every single every single year you know he took a huge nose dive in the amount of events that he plays in when he joined live golf but is still doing his best to still get the Reps that he’s used to now Patrick Reed of course shot a 7 3 one overp par in the final round of the event sadly really torpedoing his chances uh to obviously you know have any chance of winning he was going into the final round a few shots back was definitely in the in the Striking contingency if he put together a good round didn’t have that sadly we have to keep asking the question when will be the next chance that Patrick Reed does pick up a win you know Patrick Reed and Sergio Garcia are two guys that are on the live golf circuit now Patrick Reed in theory has a much longer career left than Sergio Garcia Sergio Garcia’s about 10 years older than Patrick Reed um and so we’ve seen Sergio Garcia now lose three playoffs uh during his time on live golf itself and you keep wondering man when is the homie going to get his opportunity to finally breakr and be a winner again even if not just in live golf just a winner in general because sadly in the in the golf world are so weird we can have a player be a an all-time great somebody whom we respect and understand as being a legend of the game and ultimately if they are not a winner we look at them as moot or a failure or strange or deranged or weird something like a Mike Weir player somebody whom we know has his moments but hey you don’t got winds in the wind column and I say that about Mike we obviously a master Champion obviously a hero of mine because he was you know really the first left-handed player to win a a a real major as a true Lefty uh I have to say it like that because there are players that have been left-handed but play right-handed and there’s Phil Nicholson who’s right-handed but plays left-handed cheater kidding uh but you know it’s one of those where I don’t really look at him as a true left-handed player because he’s not a left-handed person who plays left-handed he’s a right-handed person who chose to play left-handed so he try he chose to give himself a handicap um but anyway uh so yeah players like Mike we are examples of guys who are definitely legendary golfers but because they had a lot less wins than you would expect somebody of their stature to have they don’t exactly get the same type of level of respect that say I don’t know a padrick Harrington does who has 40 plus professional wins in his career and is still growing them on the champions tour these are things we have to look at and so Patrick Reed is kind of in that camp right now of somebody whom has so many great finishes and so many good rounds but isn’t getting the wins so when do you think Patrick Reeds going to finally break through with this he’s he’s at he’s at a pretty critical age in his career he’s in his he’s in his early mid-30s emerging mid-30s as I like to call it uh if you look at Patrick Reed well there we go you look at Patrick Reed I mean the dude is 33 and I like to say this is early this is still early you know young 30s at the very end of his young 30s it turns 34 so I guess you can say mid-30s he’s in his mid-30s at this point so he’s uh you know had nine professional wins in his career all of them being you know co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour hasn’t had a professional win since 2021 and this is kind of a concerning thing for him because you wonder what when his next time of shine is the reason why I say that is because I’ve noticed this over the over the life of profession of watching Golf and studying Golf and even in my uh time chronicling golf if you guys don’t know this I have actually done stuff like this where I’ve gone back through and looked at DP World Tour wins by the by a nation by nationality uh of the player all the way back through history done it with the PGA Tour also I’ve done it with the champions tour also and I’ve and in doing that you do see you know whose name keeps popping up over and over again and I can tell you this that with professional golf a lot of the larger name or larger Legacy players have really two periods of dominance in their life that is in their 20s uh and their 40s their early 40s and I’ve noticed that there’s there’s two periods of of golf life where a lot of the big Nam players have their their moments of impact or their dominance streaks and that is in their 20s all the way through about 31 almost and then in their early 40s and I say early 40s it’s like 38 through 46 is kind of that range where you see a player kind of return to emergence if you will um we a prime example of a guy who had the dominant success in in their 20s is a guy but really hasn’t done anything since uh is a guy like Jordan spe for instance somebody who was amazing and really has just kind of fallen off uh or JT you know somebody whom you know about a year or so ago all of a sudden you know doesn’t look quite like himself anymore and I see a lot of this happening with golfers uh where they have they do so well in their 20s and then kind of just fall off and I I don’t even say fall off they just stop winning uh you can still be a great player but you’re just not winning and an example of this why why I believe this happens is when they’re younger they a have a very uncomplicated family life and B uh they don’t have the sponsorship requirements that are getting in the way of golf those are kind of the two big things that I would say uh play into into it and you know also health I mean let’s be real let’s be real um you throw 10 years of wear and tear on a body that changes things and then all of a sudden we see a lot of players getting a second win around like their 40s and their 40s window is kind of the early 40s early 40s is where you see a kind of a reemergence of a lot of players uh where they were decent but then all of a sudden just became alive again a prime example of that is Kenny Perry Kenny Perry is somebody whom I think is is the prototypical example of of that type of reemergence mer uh Kenny Perry if you remember him you know he was kind of a nobody for a long time on the PGA tour and I say it like that man that’s mean to say but you know 27 professional wins all time 10 of those being of course on the champions tour so 17 wins prior to that 14 PGA Tour events so you look at him remember he’s he’s 63 right now all right 63 right now so let’s go back 20 years let’s go back to two back uh to we go back to the year 2000 we’re just going to make it 2000 just to make it nice and easy the year 2000 he’s 39 years old and this kind of fits into that window that I was talking about we go back to him when he’s when he’s 30 when he’s 39 boom he only won three events on the PGA tour prior to hitting his 39th birthday and then boom when and then that past here he’s actually over 40 years old at this point so 39 he’s he’s he’s 40 right here actually too and so boom he has 11 PGA Tour wins and two more PGA Tour and even a major title playoff losses Post 40 this is a pro typical example of somebody who catches their second win at the later portion of their career I’ve always wondered why does this happen for some players and I think part of it has to do with the fact that by the time they reach that late 30s early 40 window they’ve they’ve kind of mastered their routine they and also they’re they’re less in inclined to play with their dick and when I say play with your dick this is an issue that happens to a lot of male golfers That You Don’t See as often on the female tours is we it’s so easy to get influenced by your playing Partners to try to be the big the the big dog the big Champion the guy who hits the ball just a little bit farther just a little bit farther and we can do that so easily and I hate that about this we’re just such easily distracted motivated and pushed guys but when you get a little bit older all of a sudden you realize hey that ain’t me and it just gets a whole lot easier to be able to play that game and that’s one of the things that I do appreciate about you know certain golfers and and certain players in general you know you see that 48-year-old dude at your local Clubhouse who yeah he’s not going to hit the ball as good as the 27y old Club Champion but he’s going to compete with him because he’s not going to make the mistakes the other guys are going to make and that’s something that I think happened with Kenny Perry for example another guy who comes to mind when you think of when I think of this type of uh type of reemergence in your late career and his emergence is a little bit more different cuz he was actually in in the in the mid-30s by the time that he actually had his emergence but still lasted well into his 40s is is someone like Jim furck Jim furck was was kind of just somebody though of course if you look at his career he was winning throughout his career so kind of a longterm winning but really didn’t become the guy on tour or a guy on tour until his mid to late 30s but that’s just two examples there are plenty of other players out there that are like that so like back to the original point we have the early emergence players the players in their 20s that win a lot because of just less life distractions good healthy bodies great athleticism etc etc or they just also and also they can just emerge on the PGA tour or a professional golf tour at a time where the competition level just has a gap examples and then of course we have the late 30 m the the 40s golfer that all of the sudden just has an emergence of of of the right stuff at the right time a Kenny Perry type so Patrick Reed being where he’s at right now is kind of in that awkward Gap he’s in that awkward Gap where he’s 33 right now and yes there are gol plenty of golfers throughout history who won in their 20s and then won their whole way through uh but even players like Tiger Woods had a gap in their career where you know and gaps happen due to injury injuries due to uh you know problems due to uh wives being terrible people kidding but not um there are gaps that happen for all players what and how long and what type of golfer long term Will Patrick Reed be will he be a player that was only effective in his 20s will he be a player that wins throughout or will he be a player that we’re not going to see much more victories from him if any at all until his late 30s window pops until his 40 year old window pops what do you guys think about that on to the next bigger bigger topic we’ve kind of taken a little bit more time I’ve been very happy with the DP World Tour so far this year it has been one of the more balanced years as far as you know and one thing I’ve liked in general you look over the past few years it’s been very balanced on the nationality of winners uh you can’t see it on your screen right here because the screen only shows to 2020 but if you look at the 2024 window uh you see that right now uh the USA is at 4 we have uh South Africa at 5 of course BEC partially because of the long uh stretch of events that are pretty much uh South Africa only and you know mostly only South Africans play there in those events we see three wins this year for Japanese players which has been insane to see I mean Japan is somebody that you know their first Victory on the tour uh was was you know they had a they had a player win back in 83 but they never had anything you know again until 2016 and then they’ve had three this year on the DP World Tour which is insane to think about Sweden of course is picking up two and there’s been a a a very good Collective of of different nationalities winning on the tour so far it’s been really cool to see happy for seeing the DP World Tour be the world tour in a lot of ways I I do hope to see other nationalities pick up wins and new nationalities emerge uh so far in the history of the DP World Tour there have only been uh 37 different nationalities pick up a victory on on the DP World Tour so still a lot of work to do technically 38 actually 38 because um I because because of my inability to easily recognize the flag differences between Australia and New Zealand when they’re in the Wikipedia tiny little bubbles they look almost exactly the same you got to really look closely um it’s very hard to tell I end up in a lot of these things putting New Zealand inside of Australia so I always forget that that New Zealand and Australia are different I just mark them together because it makes it less stressful on my eyes so been 38 Nations went on the DP World Tour in history um hopefully that continues to emerge and the the world tour becomes more of the World Tour um same with the PGA of course the PGA is kind of not even fun to map because it’s basically just the US tour in a lot of ways moving moving on to the to the Asian Tour event the international series event in Morocco this is another one of the Live co-sanctioned Events John Catlin and uh Ben Campbell John Catlin was in like Flynn the entire week pretty much in complete control ended up having a mediocre uh one under round on the final day uh whereas Ben Campbell had a two under round and ended up getting him sniped in the playoff sniped in the playoff and and you know John Catlin is somebody I didn’t think very much about going into this year and even when he started winning I didn’t really look on him and even when he started doing well in live golf whenever he’s been in live golf he’s played two events in place of Charles how II done great in both those events considering who he is and what he’s doing for that team he’s done effing great very much the the Andy ogal tree of this season and the big question that I have to ask though is I always wonder like why have I overlooked guy this guy is not a a journeyman he’s not even he’s somebody who honestly should be on like a bigger tour at this point permanently not just the Asian tour you look at him he’s got 13 professional wins at this point in his career he’s he’s in his mid-30s and he’s catching his second win in a lot of way he’s somebody who in all honesty should have already been up but I think Co the whole covid situation kind of screwed him uh he was on the Asian tour originally picked up three wins in the 2018 season uh then picked up another win in 2019 and you know then ended up on the European tour where he picked up a slew of wins at the end of the covid time zones where you know during those times it was a little funky uh you definitely just a lot of weirdness going on picked up three European tours then it looked like something happened and he was and he was just found himself off and and lost his status on the European tour back on the Asian tour but he’s an Asian Tour player with a lot of with a lot of good uh Good Vibes and recognition and this does happen sometimes where where a player just gets booted off the off the European tour goes back to the Asian tour still becomes a dominant Force out there this has happened with jazz jatai this has happened with uh with kiresh appy barnrat this has happened with a lot of these players uh Sun Bay Moon uh or Bays Moon Sun Bay Moon you know what I’m talking about this happens uh players just kind of go up to that go up to the big the European tour because of whatever reason don’t make it out on there for long term end up back on the Asian tour and it could just be cost of travel CU that alone can kill you the the Asian the European tours cost of travel versus the Asian tours cost of travel because you got to understand like if you’re playing in Thailand it’s a whole lot easier for you to afford the travel and lodging and everything in Thailand than it is in the Swiss Alps it’s just a fact and then so you look at him he’s already won twice this year on the on the European sorry on the Asian tour this year and then also picked up uh of course lost in the playoff at the international series Morocco he’s definitely in a good situation to get himself onto the uh live tour this next season but don’t sleep on Ben Campbell Ben Campbell the New Zealander he’s been picking up some interesting wins of course end of the season last year the Hong Kong open he picked up a one-hot win over Cameron Smith huge Victory right there then of course picks up eight win re just recently against John Catlin who is kind of the rising de facto uh Andy Ogle tree of the season on the Asian tour and and picks up a a win on him versus a playoff this is huge this guy is kind of coming up from nowhere picking up key wins over key players we need to keep an eye on Ben Campbell Ben Campbell versus John Catlin for the uh the international series automatic entry slot into live next season this will be the fight to watch for for the rest of the year on the Asian tour stay tuned for it it looks pretty awesome and of course also certain live golfers had key uh key performances showing off that they still got it that they still are developing their game and playing good golf overall Caleb Sarat Eugenio kakara uh janiro Kazuma of course and then we look down a little bit we did see Pat Perez have a bad last day he found himself actually at 10 under par shot a one over in the final round still finish in the top 10 so I appreciate seeing that for Pat Perez he gets some slack some whack and some crack but for him to actually play well is always something I like to see out of him uh we do see believe it or not live veterans uh out there people who have been on lib but fallen out the sewan Kim of sewan Kims shot at 67 in the final round barely made the cut and then ended up you know in the in the top 25 good job for you seean uh we do see of course Scott Vincent who is you know him and his brother uh Kieran are in a weird spot right now him Kieran and Brandon Grace are all three players that I think you’re going to see them playing more and more Asian tour events at the End by the throughout this year Brandon Grace Kieran Vincent Scott Vincent mainly because they all know that they’re in a spot where they could easily fall off of Live And they probably want to get the feel of what the Asian tour feels like and of course just win as much money as possible while they still can these guys are still playing good golf but they’re falling out with the live golf crowd they’re definitely struggling hopefully they can figure out you know live golf is a tough Gambit that doesn’t always work out so we want to keep things you know we want to keep things in the house and doing well anyway guys what do you think how do you think the rest of the year goes and as always keep striping it
