Okay, let’s talk about my time dealing with the WM Phoenix Open 2024 cut. Man, what a ride that was. I’ve always been a huge golf fan, and the Phoenix Open is one of those events I never miss. This year, I decided I was going to keep detailed track of everything, especially when it came to the cut.
So, the tournament kicked off, and I started noting down all the players. I mean everyone, from Nick Taylor, who ended up winning, to Rickie Fowler, and a bunch of others like Hodges, Hoffman, Hoge, and so on. You know how it is, getting all excited at the start, hoping your favorite players make it through.
The first two rounds were intense. I was glued to the screen, scribbling down scores, and keeping a running tally in my notebook. After every player finished their first two rounds, that’s when things got real. They cut down the field to the top 65 or so. I was on the edge of my seat, checking and rechecking who made the cut. It’s always a bummer to see some big names miss out, but that’s golf for you.
Once we got to the third and fourth rounds, they changed up the pairings based on the scores. I made sure to write all that down too. I even got to the point where I was trying to predict who would end up where, like Sepp Straka calmly finishing at 25 under to win the American Express title. I even saw Kris Ventura hitting an insane hole-in-one! That was wild.
I kept a complete list of the payouts too. Every single one of the 73 players who made the cut got a spot in my notebook. I remember thinking, “This is going to be a cool record to look back on.”
In the end, I watched Nick Taylor clinch the win. It was awesome to see him get his fourth PGA Tour title. I wrapped up my notes, feeling pretty satisfied with my little project.
It was a lot of work, but hey, when you love something, it doesn’t feel like work, right? This whole experience just made me appreciate the game even more. Plus, I’ve got a killer set of notes to show off now.
Key takeaways from my notes:
- Nick Taylor won. Big moment.
- Top 65 made the cut after the first two rounds.
- Pairings changed for the third and fourth rounds based on scores.
- Detailed payout list for all 73 players.
- Sepp Straka had a good run, and Kris Ventura had an amazing hole-in-one!
The ups and downs:
It was a rollercoaster, really. Some days I was super pumped, other days I was just tired from all the tracking. But seeing it all come together, seeing the final results match up with my notes, that was a great feeling. Plus, I got to watch some amazing golf. That hole-in-one by Ventura? Still can’t get over it.
So yeah, that was my adventure with the WM Phoenix Open 2024 cut. It was a blast, and I can’t wait to do it all over again next year. Maybe I’ll even get better at predicting the outcomes. Who knows?
