It's seems anyone leading with two/three holes to play ends up losing these days. Pressure is huge at these events.
You are overthinking. Jfc.
Id imagine Alex would be getting more sponsorship/funding behind him (from the brother or associated with him) It takes massive pressure off guys trying to make it.
Definitely.
We're never going to have a pipeline of multiple players a year, but we've basically not seen a tour player break through since Tom McKibbin, and we know where he went. Going back to the Mark Power thing, he was an outstanding schoolboy golfer, was the first freshman to win the singles at East Lake, and has been fading consistently since then. I would say at this stage that he's not likely to make it as a tour player. Ireland doesn't have the sponsorship levels to give someone like him the support he needs. A few weeks ago, he had to scramble to Kenya at the last minute when a slot opened up for him. He made a good start, but fell well back after that, and who is surprised?
