2013 BMW PGA Championship

Maybe the European tour should kick up a stink a la the PGA tour did when Rory and Westy skipped the players a couple of years back to have a practice weekend at Finca Costina ahead of the matchplay event.
 
Jason Levermore, who last year won the PGA Eastern Region order of merit, and fell away in his last qualifying round for a European Tour Card (and is now a club pro) has just got a hole in one at the second. Dream start!
 
I have to say that I am surprised noone apart from Peter Uihlein bother themselves to come over for this one.

Uihlein is a European Tour member, and got into the PGA after winning in Madeira while GMac and the boys were at the matchplay along the cliffs. I suspect if he gets a PGA Tour card in the years to come, he will no longer be at Wentworth!
 
excellent, rooting for the underdog, forget the cash its the prestige and experience he will glean from this flagship event- there's many a club pro would pay to play in this:smirk:

He's had a couple of good years - he's played in the Johnnie Walker at Gleneagles the last couple of years (finished 38th in 2011, missed the cut by one last year) and he has qualified for the PGA Cup team for the match v USA at Slaley Hall later this year. Think he plans to try and get on Tour for next year, so this is all good experience for him.
 
Sergio has just teed off.... Im sure I spotted a chicken leg hanging out of his back pocket??!... not sure what that's about :confused:

Rose messing up the last to drop a shed load of shots in the last 2 holes. Plonker
 
Strong rumblings of TM dropping him!

Big mistake if they do IMO. Not a big TM fan and think it will be their loss and someone else's gain.

If this doesn't properly ruin him, there's every chance he's gonna come really good again. He's been playing much better this year.

If TM drop him and he goes on to win some big tourney's with someone else's gear, they'll be gutted.

(strong) Slap on the wrist I think in order and try and move on. Oh, and assign him a personal Press Officer.
 
Was on Sky Sports until about 6.30pm, US Senior major on now and PGA at 8.

PGA Champ back tomorrow 10am-6pm.
 
Thomas Bjorn is doing OK

Might have something to do with Billy Foster on the bag.....

Did Billy and Westwood fall out? Strange he's back to full fitness and not resumed his original post.

I hear there's a lover's tiff between McIIroy and Mcdowell. To do with Graeme blurting his mouth off before Rory could officially confirm his split.

It maybe that Billy doesn't want to base himself in the States....

I reckon Big Thomas picked up the phone first and Billy said Yes.
Bet there are a few others who wouldn't mind Billy on their bag.
 
McIlroy has blamed his round on having cold hands and not being used to this type of weather.

Seems like the usual excuses he trots out at The Open when things go bad.
 
Monty you moron. Put a couple of quid on each way yesterday as he was stupidly high odds and seemed to be playing ok. He got down to -3 this morning and I was starting to think that he might just sneak a place.

Currently back up at +2 after dropping 5 shots in 4 holes. eeeeeeeeeeeeejit.
