    Congrats to Patrick Cantlay for his BMW repeat, the 1st player to do so. When he's in front on Sunday, he never seems to get unnerved.

    Really happy for Patrick Cantlay. Not sure if this is common knowledge, but he had serious problems with stress fractures in his back and had to stop playing for an extended period (2 years?). Then when he did return, he still had problems. Fortunately, he was able to work with someone (don't know who), and they determined the reason for his physical ailments was due to swing mechanics. He had too much torque from the top of his swing moving toward the ball, stressing his lower/mid back as the lower body started to unwind and his upper body stayed behind (or, maybe even continued rotating away from the ball a bit more?).

    I am familiar with this because we had a high school golfer/caddie at my club who went through stress fractures in his back, and learning about Patrick's issues helped him to have patience and eventually get back to playing and carrying bags.

    Anyway, for Patrick to rebuild/modify his swing and get to where he presently is, took a lot of time and effort. Congratulations, Patrick!
