Amazing choke from Charl there, great birdie in the play-off by Sullivan though.

Another choke, this one from Kaymer, can't say I've ever heard of the winner either. Good luck to him though.

yep a lot chokes to start the year, walker more or less choked at kapalua as well allowing reed to edge him...kaymer's was the biggest one though, because of the 10 stroke lead that he held on the front nine plus you don't normally associate him with choking...rory sneaks in another 2nd place...

big lead for rory at dubai...

in other news, in other news, tiger posts the worst round of his career in phoenix, he has clearly lost his mojo and i don't know if it is recoverable...

Rory wins. Ko becomes the youngest World number 1 in History, by about 4 years.

Think Matsuyama will become Japan's first Men grand-slam champ.

There's my round-up of this weeks golf.

day wins at torrey...

tiger takes another leave of absence

To be fair to Tiger, syphilis has the potential to totally **** your spinal chord.

He'll be lucky to make it back.

i haven't heard that one...or is it just one of the random rumors floating around?

 

[Anil]

love III back as captain...i don't think it will make any difference though, europe is just too strong and has such momentum...

In big news for the golfing world, I'm now a member at Wynnum and will be out on the course tomorrow looking to put in my second card for my handicap. Get down early if you want a great vantage point. I'll be going all out to get the highest handicap known to man.

Lydia Ko eh? The Kiwis can't even be bothered to televise the tournament though, clearly don't deserve her.

 

[Anil]

the kid is awesome...well she is competing with the cricket world cup where nz are favorites, it makes sense why they would focus on that...

 

[Anil]

who is going to win at doral?

Well I didn't answer this because it seemed a pretty obvious answer, yet another choke, in this year of them (the one from Sergio was so amusing and typical), from Holmes helps the heart-warming story of Dustin Johnson's comeback from drink/drugs/adultery*. Kept his nerve pretty well, got to be in serious contention for the Masters, his game is perfect for it. Gosh the fawning over that **** Trump at this Tournament makes it an hard watch at times. I do like the course though annoyingly.

Learned her golf in NZ but declares allegiance to South Korea for commercial reasons - Kiwis have every right to be apathetic

When has she done this exactly

 

[social]

When has she done this exactly

No idea but her nationality was classified as "South Korean" during recent tournaments in Australia

Having said that, she is still classified as a Kiwi on LPGA website

Both are technically correct as she was born in one country and is a citizen of the other

 

[Anil]

the way they talk up spieth over here is nauseating...the kid is certainly a special talent but right now he has two wins on tour and to state that there is a budding rivalry with rory is just dumb...let him get past patrick reed first...
