Sounds like he's been pretty badly affected mentally by COVID, which makes yesterday an even better achievement. It's noticeable how many people within the game do seem to genuinely believe that it was only a matter of time and that he'll win many more.Just such a grounded young man. Hopefully he really kicks on after all this Covid ? is behind us.
They were making comparisons between him and Monty on Sky when I was watching. Was a reduced field but you can only beat whats in front of you.Sounds like he's been pretty badly affected mentally by COVID, which makes yesterday an even better achievement.

So.. Slight rant time....
EVERY single player competing on the LET this week has completely blown away any future credibility on the subject of any sort of gender-based equality.
It is not a coincidence that the male caddies are wearing shorts and every single female player is wearing long trousers ?. This is obviously a Saudi-implemented rule that the females can't wear shorts, the players have chosen to accept the oppressive rule as they they would rather chase the money. By accepting the rule, they are completely endorsing the country's gender inequality.

Has anyone played Leopard Creek? Everyone raves about it every year on TV
Is the LET not in the same position as the players? Not much money so they can't pick and choose if a country dangles a big carrot?Late to this, however....
In one sense I completely agree and massive kudos to the likes of Mel Reid who refused to take part. Absolutely disgusting regime that should be an international pariah. I wish our government would get the same scrutiny for Saudi ties as some give to female golfers. Although that's wandering into politics so I'll stop at that.
However, I really blame the LET, rather than the players, for putting them in this situation. There's just not that much money in the LET so the players are not in a strong position to pick and choose.
I don't expect them to change their ways immediately to women generally, too ingrained for that to happen other than gradually. However I'd hope for exceptions for the tournament players. Baby steps, had it happened.As an organisation they should have had the gumption to say "no way" rather than shirking it and letting the players take the heat for it. I doubt the LET would have had enough sway to get the Saudis to stop treating women as property, torturing women's rights activists etc. In that context, who cares they had to wear long trousers!?
