While GolfChannel.com’s Rex Hoggard notes the inability of Bryson DeChambeau to have convinced caucus goers he was worthy of adding context to the council’s prime area of concern—slow play—I’m struck by the departure of Matt Kuchar.

The veteran, who takes his bronze medal around the world in a sock, was said to have added many wonderful thoughts and concerns for the less-privileged on Tour. He was beloved by his Council peers and will be missed. Or not.

For Immediate Release, the 2020 Slow Play Policy Advisory Council and players who have shown an ability to use their brain for other thoughts besides those revolving around golf, I mean PAC:
