Exactly what you want to hear during the final event of the season
Bernd Wiesberger was not happy with the greens at the DP World Tour Championship on Thursday...
He described them as the 'worst greens we have had on tour in a long time'. He carded a 75 (+3) in round one.

Wow very sad loss for the golf world
Dan Hicks, longtime lead golf play-by-play announcer for NBC Sports, has died following an acute illness. He was 64.
Across three decades, Hicks provided the soundtrack to some of golf’s most memorable moments. The Arizona native joined NBC in 1992 and assumed the network’s lead play-by-play role in 2000, his broadcast style defined by a steady delivery, unmistakable enthusiasm, and ability to capture the significance of a moment.
Hicks anchored weekend coverage of The Players Championship for nearly three decades and was behind the microphone for the evolution of the FedExCup, in addition to several major championships, bringing his composed approach to golf’s biggest stages.
For nearly two decades, Hicks worked alongside renowned analyst Johnny Miller in one of golf television’s defining broadcast partnerships. Hicks provided a measured presence, guiding viewers through the tension and unpredictability of a final round.
After graduating from the University of Arizona, Hicks began his broadcasting career in local radio and television before joining CNN in 1989. He moved to NBC Sports three years later, with assignments including Olympic swimming, alpine skiing and Notre Dame football. Golf, one of his favorite recreational pastimes, became an enduring beat. His voice will always be synonymous with the game.
Hicks is survived by his wife, sports broadcaster Hannah Storm, and their three daughters.
Rest in Peace, Dan Hicks.

That's it. Like I said, slow week. Kris Ventura is sticking with Steve Hale. William Mouw is keeping his dad on. The Korn Ferry grads are sticking with their guys so far (Tommy Morrison with Scott McGuinness, Cole Sherwood with Josh McCray). Always nice to see a little loyalty.
Comp Courses for Fazio Canyons?
TPC San Antonio and Quail Hollow were the two that stood out.
Using those two as seeds, courses like Dunes, Sedgefield, TPC River Highlands, and Royal Birkdale showed up as possible crossover comps.
Here are the top performers on those courses over the last two years 👉

I don't know why I care but the green sizes at Fazio Canyons are either 5,300 (tiny) or 6,700 square feet (average) depending on which agronomy report you open

Austin Smotherman on Fazio Canyons: "First off, every hole out here is framed kind of so cool, it's all standalone, no switch back holes side by side, which kind of make it fun. Fun tee balls I think, kind of get creative and send it over the tree lines a little bit, 30-yard downhill par 4s off the tee kind of stuff"
Jackson Koivun thinking about going low instead "Yeah, it's not the most wide off the tee... Greens are good, they have some slope and have some speed. I think we're going to see a lot of really low numbers, but it can definitely get away from you, too."
