I never thought that Chandler would have a better career than Bronson Burgoon nor Cam Champ. But it certainly appears he is on his way to doing that.

There is still lots of golf ahead of Chandler and Sam, but I am not surprised that Chandler has had more success than Sam thus far. CP has a very solid swing while Sam has a swing that is very hard on his body and is somewhat hard to repeat time and again. So day in and day out, and week in and week out, CP will be very consistent.

I hope Phillips has tremendous success on tour but he has done absolutely nothing to say that he'll have a better career than Champ.

Dude cares more about duck hunting than golf.

CP made a lot more money than Champ last year. And maybe in 2023 too.
And CP is off to a better start this year.
Champ has been hampered by injuries, and that is an understatement. And I believe one of those injuries is a back problem. That is tough on a golfer. Burgoon has that same problem I think.

Last 2 years, which includes the start for 2025, have been good for CP. And surprisingly good from my view.

He has made over $1.8M since the start of the 2024 season. That leads all Aggie golfers. By a lot.

He will most likely never win a major. But he will make a lot of money if he stays healthy.

I remember Chandler playing as a junior golfer in the area. His parents always supported him and were at every tournament. Watched him play in HS and at A&M, even played against him and Sam in skins games locally were almost every skin was covered. I am glad to see him playing well and I hope he finishes strong. He deserves a big paycheck with all the hard work he has put in.
I am sure some commentators will say something about the stache, but if you're from TX you will have a stache at some point, lol.

Duck hook left off the tee on #8...a quad to finish his day.

Just hit a hell if a shot off the fairway on 9 (his 18)

Did I just read the TourCast right? 301 yards out and stuck it to 4 feet?

3 eagles in one round. 2 more eagles than I've made playing golf for 30 years.

Crazy day. Triple bogied his 17th hole before his last eagle.

Why golf is hard in a nutshell. Unbelievable shot gets you two; one slip loses three. Boom.

Was a bit turned off by his interview on Subpar podcast. He basically said A&M was just a place to play golf. He rarely went to football games and wasn't really into A&M as a whole.

That's going to be any major athlete these days unfortunately. The collegiate student athlete is no more. And it sucks.

He played awesome today. Stacking 4 rounds here is brutal but hopefully he can stay near the top the rest of the way

this shot was incredible
