Good afternoon. Everyone and their mother has had something to say about AimPoint over the last two weeks. Our take? If you’re on the PGA Tour and your putt is worth $100K, go for it. If you’re a weekend warrior making your buddies watch you straddle your line like a human plumb bob? Jail.

Quick Recap: Mexico Open
That’s golf!
Sometimes you do everything right, but you still don’t achieve the outcome you want. Every now and then, you royally screw up, and things still work out.
The golf gods giveth, the golf gods taketh.
The "That’s golf!" moment of the week came during the second playoff hole between Aldrich Potgieter and Brian Campbell—a showdown that turned into a mix of luck, skill, and a million-dollar bounce.
After both players parred 18 the first time through, they ran it back again.
Campbell stepped up and heel-sliced one that had “lost ball” written all over it… until it ricocheted off a tree and miraculously kicked back into play.
Given a second chance, he roped a fairway metal to 60+ feet, chipped to five feet, and buried the birdie to put the pressure on Potgieter.
The 20-year-old South African, who had played three rounds of lights-out golf, found the greenside bunker with his second, hit a solid bunker shot to six feet, but missed the tying birdie putt, handing Campbell his first PGA Tour win—and a cool $1 million payday at age 31.
That’s golf!
While we didn’t get the big money payout (+27000) on Brian Campbell, like this guy did, Caddyshanks still hit two top-20 picks this week: Joel Dahmen +360 and Aaron Rai +140.
This week, the Florida Swing begins at PGA National for the Cognizant Classic.
