While you were hitting your approach from the Bunker on 16, Ian and Bobby were commenting that you've been working with your swing instructor Alex Sloan.
Lets set those guys straight!:
AHHHH YES...Bobby corrected the mistake as you made the approach on the 18th!
Mentioned Lynn Blake would recommend a 3-barrel power accumulator stroke for that shot.
Lots of good things said about your putting and accuracy.
You belong in the winners circle every week.
Congrats!

Thanks to the Internet I could watch todays transmission from the St Jude.

On the 18th, Clampett chimes in as Brian is about to hit his second to the 18th.
His coach Lynn Blake would have told him to apply Angular Hinge to stay away from the water.
Feherty admitted he would not have known what that means.
Brian went on to hit the green and lagged nicely to about 2 feet.
Congrats Lynn and Brian.

Another wonderful four days of golf: 68-66-70-70=284, solo 4th and $288,000.
Congratulations, Brian Gay!
Oh, and about that Bobby Clampett mention:
Bobby had earlier misidentified Brian's coach as Alex Sloan. Hey, it was an honest mistake...Alex and I are both 'old guys' who were trained by Homer Kelley way back in the early days of TGM! But friend John Riegger, winner of last week's LaSalle Bank Open on the Nationwide Tour, was watching from his home in Las Vegas and caught the error. He immediately text-messaged "Finchie" (Ian Baker-Finch) in the CBS tower and, next thing you know, Clampett takes a Mulligan and gets it right. Class acts, Bobby and Ian. Thanks!
And thank you, John Riegger. It's good to have friends with 'connections' in 'high' places!
Hey Lynn,
Less of the OLD -....I seem to remember 2 days at the swamp when I had to take a break because you were working me to DEATH
So you proceeded to hit 6 irons for about half an hour!! And then continued teaching till I GAVE UP!
OLD? OOOOOLD? Outrageous!
Standard compensation for the professional PGA TOUR caddie consists of a flat fee for the week and a percentage of the player's winnings. The flat fee varies, obviously, from player to player, with high-profile folk such as Steve 'Stevie' Williams (Tiger Woods), Jim 'Bones' Makay (Phil Mickelson) and their like in a league of their own. But for the rank and file, $1,000 per week is a good yardstick. And the normal percentage of winnings is '5-7-10.' That is, 5 percent for a made cut, 7 percent for a top 10 and 10 percent for a win.
Remember, though, caddies pay all their own expenses, so these figures are 'gross,' not 'net.' And if the player takes the week off, so does the caddy. In other words, no play, no pay.
Today, brothers Brent and Kip Henley caddied in the next-to-last group at the Stanford St. Jude Championship.They carried respectively for winner Woody Austin and 4th place finisher Brian Gay. Woody took home $1.08 million and Brian $288,000. Do the math, and I'm sure you'll agree...
It was a pretty fair payday for the Brothers Henley.
Brian- you played great golf on a course where past Tour winners didn't make the cut. And Woody was hot. Congratulations to you and a great tournament.
Lynn, you are the coach and friend to many winners. I know you are grinning about Brian right now.
I heard the Alex Sloan comment but missed the Blake one! I had just flipped it back to the tournament and heard Bobby say something about angled hinging...
Great information by Lynn and great application by Brian.
I need to borrow some CASH . . . wonder if B.G. would hook up a more attractive interest rate than J.R. Mikey told me about this punkin farm deal that's gonna make me my first million.
Congrats to BG on a great tournament . . . I'm sure there's bigger'n'better to come.
Congrats to LBG on having the best information in golf now very much Tour tested . . . I'm sure there's bigger'n'better to come.
Congrats to HK for having the most "beautiful mind" in golf.
And congrats to Mike O for having the world's longest braided nose hairs.
