"What's the fewest strokes ever shown on TV over 4 days by the winner of a WGC event? Asking for Tom Lewis' Mum."
Lol.

For those watching on Sky, did they show the Bryson driving ball at impact video?

Yep, ta. On the faceache share the video pauses a few seconds where the ball is distorted. 18000 frames per second apparently.

Oh Tom, how did you miss that on 16 ?

Thomas had 2 ridculous breaks 2 holes running, trying for a 3rd now lol

 

[pendodave]

Lol
It's turned into our monthly medal...

Some really poor driving by excellent players here at the moment

 

[pendodave]

Not even. Hit those drives round my course and you're losing balls.

The Fitzpatrick double from just shoŕt of the green following a duff from the middle of the fairway is one of my signature moves. #playa

JTs drives the last few holes, Fitzys fat approach, Brooks thinned pitch, yup ive got all those shots haha

 

[Springveldt]

JT has missed the fairway by about 50 yards on the last and now he looks about 30 yards right of the green with a perfect lie.

 

[pendodave]

Splash.
This is more performance art than competitive golf.
Maybe they're sandbagging for the PGA.

 

[fundy]

Fair play to JT, hes taken full advantage of a few big breaks but boy did he drive it bad up the stretch

 

[pendodave]

To be fair, Thomas's short game has stayed with him.

 

[davidy233]

Thomas may have driven badly but he’s had the short game of a genius over the last few holes

 

[Springveldt]

Amazing that JT goes 2 under for those last few holes. He must have used up all his luck for this season surely?

 

[fundy]

Lewis picked up a few extra $$$$ and points the way a few have finished, might be extending his playing permissions

 

[pendodave]

It was exquisite but I can't help thinking there should be more punishment for being so far off line with both drive and approach on 18.

I'll go devil's advocate on this and say that he played to have those areas as his miss.
Contrast with Brooks - he missed left and now he's dropping from the PA and has given away the tournament.
