As the round was unfolding, I thought the same thing.
Everyone is different. Tour players are no exception. He is still a rookie learning his way around. I am sure we will talk about it soon.

Mathematicians have a name for this phenomenon: Regression to the Mean. The principle (known also as Reversion to Mediocrity) is universal and exists in all of life, not just on the PGA TOUR. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_toward_the_mean

All my best to Jim Renner in this quest to keep his card.
