I didn’t notice this until today, but for the first time since I started including the LPGA players in the Power Rankings, neither Lydia Ko nor Stacy Lewis are in the top-75.  In fact, I don’t think either players has ever not made the list, and usually they are both in the top-10.

Some other notable current rankings:

19. Jordan Spieth
31. Lexi Thompson
40. Phil Mickelson
42. Rory McIlroy
71. Paula Creamer
76. Lydia Ko
94. Rickie Fowler
118. Sergio Garcia
125. Stacy Lewis
304. Jason Day
374. Tiger Woods
668. Michelle Wie

The Power Rankings are calculated using a mathematical formula and is based on the each player’s last 6 tournaments on the PGA, European, or LPGA Tours.

I’m late to the party with this post, as Jack’s Memorial tournament was last weekend.

Here is a Youtube video by PGATour of the Essential Jack Nicklaus.

Here is a clip from Jack’s famous instruction series, “Golf My Way”.

And here is one of Jack’s most famous shots, the 1-iron at the 17th of Pebble Beach that hit the flagstick on the way to winning the 1972 U.S. Open.

This week is the Byron Nelson Championship, so I went looking for some video of Byron.

Here is what I found:

And here is his swing frame by frame:

And finally, here Wayne Defrancesco (whoever that is) does a full analysis of Byron’s Swing:

Everyone talks about Byron’s record for consecutive wins, but I think finishing in the top-20 for 113 consecutive tournaments is even more incredible.
