Watch some of the live feed of the LPGA on youtube last night, the course at Reynolds Lake looked stunning and an amazing setting.
Well done to Ally on winning and keeping it going under quite a lot of pressure on her birthday (think thye said) .
But my the power of Bianca Pagdanganan, she smokes a ball. One to potentially look out for.

Drysdale pulled off a brilliant up-and-down at 18 today but enjoyed this one a bit more. Let's hope Armitage can get his first win tomorrow..

Just watched Darren Clarke win on the seniors tour.
Played pretty solid.
Despite all the fresh(ish) blood, langer is still winning the season standings. He's 9 years older than Clarke.

"up and down of the week"... typical hyperbole from Roe. I really don't see what's so special there.

Ladies European Tour golf from Emirates Faldo Course - Dubai. The OMEGA Moonlight Classic. Weird floodlit golf...played the track a few years ago and though the course was immaculate and challenging - the city surroundings did not make for a pleasant setting. And watching this evening - the road noise is terrible and some properties line holes very closely. OK the sight of the skyscrapers all lit up might be spectacular - but you don't have to be playing golf to take that in.

TV cameras usually make the action much brighter than it actually is - this looks like the floodlights at Alloa Athletic - weak and a weird colour.
Still it's very dark not very far off the fairway, just as well it's not a mens event with their current trend of blast it anywhere.

I think it is a bold move to get the ladies game some press and TV coverage which has to be a good thing.

Watching the golf from Dubai is it just me or has Charley Hull really stretched recently...

Why do they keep trying these Mickey Mouse formats
People won’t start watching women’s golf because it’s being played at night.
And as for what they are doing in Cyprus - that’s just ridiculous
The European Tour keep trying these things but the only thing that works - increasing the Prize fund which brings in the bigger European players which gets the viewers

So what do you suggest. Do nothing and let the LET stagnate and die and not offer the ET players a chance to play and with the top players away a chance to win some much needed Euros to retaining their card of getting an exemption for a win. You are normally moaning about golf being all inclusive and so this may actually be a chance to get some casual TV viewers and youngsters interested enough to try the game when we get out of lockdown

I quite like the night golf. Lovely contrast with the background.

The night golf is a gimmick, but I watched some of it last night so it worked.
I find the PGA Tour much easier to watch because it's on in the evening. The European events are always live during the day when I'm working or busy. There's a very good reason why sports such as football and cricket embrace evening matches under floodlights. Well done to the LET for trying something different.

Enjoying the golf this morning. Wouldn't want to see the format every week, but it has made for an interesting finish.
Kawamura has a very odd looking swing.

Be interested to hear what the professionals think about it.
In some ways maybe it's more relatable to us Ams as most of our golf is decided over 18 holes. Plus the Ryder cup matches.

I'm suprised how many top players are in the Houston this week, id have thought they'd not want to risk catchng Covid and missing the Masters.

On the plus side they get escorted off the premises next week, never to return
