Equally possible he gets turned over in his first match, then does he bench himself or go again to a plan at the expense of a player looking on saying i'm in better form and he's only playing because of being captain. You could also have an injury or out of form player meaning Keegen needs to go...

Mot sure if still there but Kenilworth have done this for 30 years plus. Always seemed to work pretty effectively.

Are US starting to build up some issues? JJ Spaun seems nice but won't have the same fear, same for Henley and Griffin. Schauffele hasn't really fired and Bradley talking about playing captain etc. Atmosphere is going to be very tough but the team doesn't currently seem to have the big name quality.

It ignores Rose, Lowry and Fleetwood all being around (appreciate Rose was in the playoff) to warmly congratulate. Plenty of players like Rory, Spieth and Rose seem nice and win. I would though say all sports people have an edge about them and aren't always going to be fully rounded people given...

Agree with you, it's clearly pre-planned and I also find it really odd anybody thinks Tiger is posting to Twitter. Could be wrong but i very much expect a team behind him do all those elements and therefore needed photos to just respond to the potential intrusion and move on.

I don't have any issue with them being paid as it's such big business now. I do think they need to start paying the volunteers for this and the open given the funds being made. Yes, i'm sure all volunteers see it as a great experience but should the winner in the open be making a fortune if the...

I agree, you always get these points from a losing team but I'd expect Leona would have been given quite a lot of leeway for her poor form when pairs were selected given her matchplay record. It probably suggests that she wasn't showing that much in practice rounds otherwise i expect most...

Don't want to jinx Charley but great to see her putting together a solid round and keeping focus. Given she's on for a 6 hr plus round I would have thought that would have really played against her given she's talked about the challenges on concentration before. Brutal winds so some strong play...

I'd probably reframe it and say you're trying for 10 good holes given they are playing betterball pairs. Some holes will beat you up and the greens can be tough but it is playable. Get an OK drive off the yellows and you'll be looking to get some pars I'd expect if you're mid-teen handicap...

I've said it before but how is Lydia Ko already not in the LPGA hall of fame - 20 wins, 2 majors, world number 1 for 90 plus weeks and all those age records broken as well as player of the year awards. Still only 26 she should be OK. Does make you wonder how many will make it into the hall of...

I heard Kane was still living in a hotel in Munich having currently got his tab up to £1m so may still be his only house. Poor soul, fancy being restricted to one.

Haven't read all so someone may have said it, but I don't think it's a case that joining fees only potentially dissuade joiners. They collect additional joining forms, but they also create a barrier to entry. Not played much last year, perhaps change of circumstances like pushing for a...

Just play, some golf is better than none and i've finished a few in the dark on trips - often the memories you think about. Will it be equal playing field if you've got fading light, probably not, but should still get 18 in.

I can't find the stat but i also saw that Fitz was the second lowest score in the singles but just had one of those opponents. Sure it was mentioned during the coverage this week so a loss isn't always due to poor play, in the same way a win isn't always a reflection of great play. Sometimes the...

I didn't see huge amounts but i found the 18th odd, that's a serious amount of run (30yds) the players had to play for when using a wedge!
