More than 40 years ago, a majority of PGA Tour fields were filled by “rabbits” who had to Monday qualify from week to week. With only 100 exempt spots on Tour now, it’s interesting to note it was just 60 back then…

Folks - let them think this. I’ve spent 25 years doing campaigns - when you think like this after a loss like last night, you are doomed to lose again.
