CartyDurham
International Captain
That’ll do him on 17
One of the great final rounds this , really impressiveActually, a truly great round this from Xander, 6 under even in benign conditions is serious golf around here.
Postage Stamp tee shot though....
ThanksI reckon Rose needs to find a new caddie again, because he can't play better than that. Just reading the greens.
Well done on your bet CartyDurham. Nice result.
Agree with this. I played Lytham on a windy day, the issue is not the greens at all. One par 4 on the back 9 into the wind, I hit driver and 2 hybrids, hit all 3 pretty well and I was still 50 yds short of the green.I’d be surprised if it was much different
The variable is the tee you use as the championship ones are generally a lot further back - longer the ball is in the air > more likely to be impacted by the wind
Some courses are tricked up by speeding up the greens for the pros but it might not be possible here due to the wind as the ball would be blown off
They also won the gold in the last two Olympics, didn't they?Schauffele a decent winner, but would he have beaten Rose from the other side of the draw?
Good spot. Be surprised if there was a US winner this time given how woeful they were in the Paris Ryder Cup. Fleetwood ought to go well though…They also won the gold in the last two Olympics, didn't they?
Is it the same course for the Olympics?Good spot. Be surprised if there was a US winner this time given how woeful they were in the Paris Ryder Cup. Fleetwood ought to go well though…
It’s all concentrating on the fed ex play offs and the race to DubaiWhy did they move the USPGA forward in the calendar?
Weird:
a) all the majors in a 4 month period
b) there not being a consolation to look forward to after The Open
