## Resource

Dan Bradbury denied Casey Jarvis a hat-trick in Joburg before Akshay Bhatia denied Daniel Berger in the Arnold Palmer. But are they anchoring the putter and should long putters even be allowed? That's one of the many topics covered along with Rory McIlroy's fitness, Viktor Hovland's quest for something out of reach, and Jon Rahm's comments on extortion. There are some lighter matters too like whether The Players Championship is a major and how that might eventually look, a positive update on Andrea Pavan, confirmation that Luke Donald goes for a hat-trick, and our usual attempt to fit everything else pro golf into just one hour.
