Yeah, but the PGA is regularly before the Open now isn't it?Olympics followed by FedEx Cup made schedule too congested

Schauffukulele having quite a year!
I don't watch a lot of golf these days, so I can't recall ever seeing him hit a shot...although I must have at some stage. He can clearly play the game very well.
Just to say Lawrence was on Rose's side of the draw too, dems the breaks, but churlish in a way, Xander was imperious on the final round, looked so in control.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.
Greens on links courses are not normally the problems. Getting out of bunkers certainly is, especially trying to hold greens from the green side ones. They make those shots look insanely easy.
A 15 handicap would be able to 3 putt the greens, especially if you use your first one to put it into a sensible position.
Schauffele a decent winner, but would he have beaten Rose from the other side of the draw?
They moved The Players from May to March to accommodate. I think it was also done to create a bigger gap between Tour Championship and Ryder/Presidents Cup, and also to reduce the total amount of PGA Golf played by the top players (to help fend off one LIV threat).Has been for the last 3 editions
Think they just compressed the schedule by a couple of weeks
Senior open first round finishesI’ve chosen Harrington, Cejka and Broadhurst in the Senior Open
also Bhatia, Van Rooyen, Hoge and Hodges in 3M tournament in USA
Shame that there’s been so much rain as the course is soft & there for the takingThink I'll keep the Olympic Golf to the Golf Thread. Whether you agree with it being there or not, one thing is for sure, the big boys have all shown up this time, and so have the crowds - massive numbers by the looks of it.
It'll be interesting to see how the course plays, the US obviously struggled massively with it in the Ryder Cup. You can't bomb and gouge Le National.
The other difference with the Ryder Cup is that the rough is not remotely as penal. I saw Schauffele hit a rescue out of it yesterday on a par 5, they were getting little more than wedges out in 2018. Hideki had one of his rarely seen hot putting days yesterday, I doubt he maintains his lead.Shame that there’s been so much rain as the course is soft & there for the taking
He was pretty much the best golfer in the world this time last year. Didn't he then make swing or equipment changes? Never understood why they do that....Hovland is another golfer who has been pretty ordinary this season apart from his PGA performance
No expert but I don’t really like his swing
Changed his coach & has since gone back to his original oneHe was pretty much the best golfer in the world this time last year. Didn't he then make swing or equipment changes? Never understood why they do that....
Fleetwood providing some decent GB interest, no surprise given he's won here before and his Ryder Cup record was outstanding.
