That's right, you can reach me @mummmbles so not the most original headline on a cold, clearing Monday in December, but we are as always still talking about golf.
* Tiger leads it off, and as I posted in my last missive, let's give the guy a few months of tournament play before we make judgement, he did shoot +4 76 on Sunday and he finished 15th in the 17 man field. Most importantly for the game, and leading up to the Masters in April is the fact he is healthy and back playing. He is at 898 in the world, and says he wants to play a full schedule starting in 2017 and his comeback will become the story of the year.
Henrik Stenson summed it up best. “Give him three or four tournaments, maybe six tournaments, maybe around the Masters. It’s easy to overanalyze a very limited amount of golf.”
* Hideki Matsuyama continued his sensational play winning yet again, this time he blew a big lead but hung on to win by 2 shots 73 -18 over Henrik Stenson who closed with 68 -16. It was his 4th win in his last 5 events, the last time he beat Henrik was by 7 shots at the WGC in China. He is ranked #6 in the world heading into 2017.

* Congratulations to young Jennifer Na, who finished 5 rounds at the LPGA Q school T8 at -8 (70-74-69-67-72). With that she earned one of the first 20 spots and joins Brooke Henderson, Maude Aimee LeBlanc and Alena Sharp with full status in 2017. Na is from Calgary.
