Kobe Bryant's death adds gravitas to Koepka tribute You look at these astonishing numbers and it’s as if one of the amateurs from the pro-am snuck into the field. In Houston, he finished 14-over par and missed the cut by 14 shots. In Phoenix a few weeks ago, he finished 10-over par and missed the cut by 11 shots. In the Sentry Tournament of Champions at Kapalua, where the previous year’s tournament winners convene in January for a gravy-train week with a short field and no cut, Trainer finished dead last at 18-over par, eight shots worse than the second-to-last-place finisher and 32 shots behind winner Justin Thomas.Īt the American Express in Palm Springs, he shot 14-over par and missed the cut by 23 shots. There were four or five holes where I hit like two balls into the woods and I was like, ‘OK, I’ll take my double-bogey maximum.’ ’’ “Thank goodness it was Stableford scoring, because I would have shot 110. “Rock bottom was in Reno,’’ Trainer said of the 2019 Barracuda Championship. “It’s been a long 10 months of struggling.’’ “I was joking with my friends that we should have a party, because I hadn’t made a cut in so long,’’ Trainer said.

So, he went 21 of 22 starts either missing the cut or withdrawing. His final 11 starts of last season included 10 missed cuts and one withdrawal.īehind Tiger Woods' decision not to play WGC-MexicoĮntering this past week’s Genesis Invitational, Trainer missed the cut in all 10 of his starts this season. After his win, Trainer had 16 starts to end the season and missed 12 cuts, withdrew once and had a top finish of a tie for 41st at the Players Championship. The fall of Trainer’s game to a pitch-black abyss since his win in Puerto Rico has been astonishing. Yet a look at Trainer’s results since that breakthrough victory in Puerto Rico leaves you to wonder how he possibly won a PGA Tour event - let alone an amateur tournament at his local muni. He even has a win on his résumé - at the Puerto Rico Open in just his ninth start as a PGA Tour member, a title he’s set to defend this week.
