Stock Watch: USGA doesn't ease into the new year
Each week on GolfChannel.com, well examine which players stocks and trends are rising and falling in the world of golf. RISINGX-Man (+9%): Clearly comfortable as a chaser, Xander Schauffeles last three wins have come against the best fields the top 30 in the FedExCup (2017 Tour Championship), the top talent in the world (2018 WGC-HSBC Champions) and now nearly all of the 2018 Tour winners. Were only one week in, but that closing 62 may be the finest final round all year long.Gary Woodland (+8%): Itll go down, cruelly, as another blown 54-hole lead, but Woodland shot 68 and lost to the lowest final-round score to par in the last eight and a half years. G-Dub is a whopping 82 under par in 20 rounds this season. He looks like a transformed player. Paddy (+3%): It probably wont matter, because the Americans will be heavy favorites on a home setup at Whistling Straits, but Harrington will be a fastidious captain whom his players will be motivated to please. A no-brainer choice for 2020.USGA setups (+2%): Mike Davis is a smart man and hes poured his heart and soul into his job and the USGA, but it was long overdue that he handed over the setup responsibilities to someone else. They couldnt afford any more messes. How John Bodenhamer and Co. present Pebble will be fascinating to watch.J-Rose (+1%): The revolving door at world No. 1 continues, with Rose re-ascending to the top spot without hitting a shot. If only itd stay that simple.
FALLINGRorys Sundays (-1%): Though he was more patient at Kapalua, it still was a disappointing final round for McIlroy, who didnt make a birdie after the fifth hole, never made a putt longer than 4 feet and posted the worst score of anyone in the top 21. Even he seems to be searching for the right formula on Sunday, which is something we never thought wed type five years ago.Mid-round interviews (-2%): If done sparingly, with the proper tone and question, players inside the ropes would be able to offer invaluable insight for viewers. But theres a reason why no other sport allows the athletes to be interviewed mid-game its difficult to ask pressing questions at uncomfortable times in the heat of competition. Micing caddies (on a slight delay, of course) is the route to go.Knee drops (-3%): The impetus for this particular rule change that theres a better chance now that the dropped ball will remain within the relief area hasnt swayed the majority of Tour pros. Why not just drop anywhere between shoulder and knee height? This looks awkward and slightly ridiculous.Lucy Li (-4%): Even if shes ultimately cleared by the USGA, the 16-year-olds family brazenly put her amateur status in a precarious position by allowing her to star in an Apple ad without seeking prior approval. The allure was obvious, but they couldnt hold off another year or two, until shes ready to turn pro?Flagstick debate (-5%): Its more offensive aesthetically than anything else, but can you imagine the future Masters champion leaving the pin in on a 5-footer on 18? The USGA clearly didnt anticipate the Brysons of the world poking holes in what was supposed to be a sensible rule for weekend warriors.

Incidentally, U.S. Walker Cup captains typically are retained for a second term. It would seem likely that Crosby, too, would be the U.S. captain again in 2021, given that the Walker Cup will be played at Seminole Golf Club in North Palm Beach, Fla., where he also is a member, as was Bing. Crosby, however, is not looking that far ahead.
