I don't want to be rude - but why isn't Brian Gay (and Jay Williamson) playing better than he is this year? Is he injured? He hasn't forgotten all that made him great last year (or was it the year before?)?

I think its related to length and the distance these courses are going. Statistically speaking he should be having a good year, he is very high in fairways, proximity to hole, putting both in average and total putting.
I just think he is getting hurt on the par 5's and has to many long irons into greens. He is 3 yards on average shorter than the next shortest player on tour, thats a lot to overcome.

He was driving 286 today. That's not so bad? (But short in comparison with MATT BETTENCOURT 350y).

In the past five years, the MONEY looks like this:
Brian Gay $8,947,558
Matt Bettencourt $2,057,647
Perhaps another way to measure?

And, this may come as a shock to my friends here, I have earned somewhat less than $8,000,000 this year on tour. 
I saw BG on the range the last day at Aronimink, and talk about "frozen ropes!" My wife is very nice to me and smiled when she said "Honey, you almost hit them like that!" I thought I saw BG smile, but the next five shots were considerably longer and somehow, straighter.
"Honey, I can spell TGM but Mr. Gay does TGM, seriously!"

It was last year.
Other than that, BG's scoring average and earnings have really sucked these past five years:
2010 70.70 $1,388,579
2009 70.34 $3,201,295
2008 70.11 $2,205,513
2007 70.89 $1,114,571
2006 70.32 $1,037,600
Guess he'll have to 're-build' his swing.

I only asked about his situation.Who's talking about re-bulding his swing?? Why so touchy?
