Greg's round at the @PCCTourney is underway! Time for Greg to string together several top results and solidify his place in the @SchwabCupFinale!

I just want LIV golf to go away already. It was a failed experiment. Time to “take that dog to the farm”.

Benchmark your putting with this 15-minute combine. Bookmark this so you don't lose it. 🔖🔖🔖🔖🔖 Run this combine often, compare your number to the benchmarks below, and you'll know exactly where your putting stands. How it works: Putt from nine distances. From each one, keep going until you hole out. Count every stroke. Do the whole thing twice for 18 total "holes." The nine distances: 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, and 42 feet. No tape measure needed. Just pace it off (one step = 3 feet). Practice your step against a tape measure a few times first so it's dialed. In steps, that's 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14. Two ways to run it: 1⃣Sequential. Start at 3ft, work back to 42ft, repeat. 2⃣Random (better). Mix the distances up every round. The part most people skip: go through your full routine on every putt, same as you would on the course. If you can, putt to different holes during the combine so you're reading new breaks and speeds. Then add up your total putts across all 18 holes. The benchmarks (total putts over 18 holes): 0 index▶️32.1 putts 5 index▶️33.1 10 index▶️33.9 15 index▶️34.7 20 index▶️35.4 Here's how to read it. Say you want to compare yourself to a 15 index and you took 34 putts. You just gained 0.7 strokes against a 15 index. If you took 35 putts you would have lost 0.3 strokes. One run won't tell you much. The value is doing this on a regular basis. Same test, same distances. Track it. Data from Arccos Golf. (DATALOU15 saves 15% on Arccos.)

Needed just another birdie or two, but still a great week for Greg and Cam. A T3 finish is big, vaulting Greg up the @SchwabCupFinale standings. Remember: he needs to be top 36 to get into the finale and guarantee full status next season:

Listen: I know the important thing right now is that Greg and Cam Percy are only one stroke back of the lead at the American Family Championship. But I just wanted you all to see what I have to deal with on the back end of this podcast:

See that word "DREAM" there? Mine come true whenever Greg is featured in a Champions Tour opening drive montage.

Greg's drive on the 16th hole yesterday.

Beautiful golf played today. Head to head matchup in the final group tomorrow, Gregulators!

Live look at Greg

They continue to roll! Another birdie on 13. Greggie with some clutch drives on the past two holes, and Cam drains another big putt for our team.

Gotta keep the pedal down. Looks like Crane and Clarke bought mulligans and ropes before today's scramble started.

And another birdie for Chalmers and Percy!

An eagle for Greggie! 🦅 The team of Australians, @GregChalmersPGA and @CameronPercy1 get to 7-under on their round @AmFamChamp. 📺 Golf Channel

EAGLE!!! Greggie poors one in from 25 !

They birdied nine. Not sure how, because I was buying lunch.

Beautiful tee shot by Percy on the par 3 8th, and after a good discussion about the read, Greg drains the birdie from 10ish feet.
