Why are there 53 players in the DP World Tour Championship ? James Morrison is having to play as a single. Assume someone has dropped out but surely they have a reserve ?

Probably too late a withdrawal that wouldn't leave Andy Sullivan time to get there as 1st alternate..
Either that or he's pissed off that Garcia and Reed have been invited when they hadn't qualified....and told them where they can stick it....

That would be great if he did, but he seemed very keen to play. How does Reed get an invite, no one likes him.:eek:

And they've awarded the same to Morikawa, which is very strange to say the least!

Yeah the fact that someone of the stature of Sam Torrance only got his ET lifetime membership in 2017 when he retired from all golf, makes it pretty clear that the awards to Morikawa, Reed (maybe others) are at least in part driven by commercial/marketing factors

I still find watching Fitzpatrick difficult - his swing tempo to the naked eye is absurdly quick. Armchair punditry of course, but does anyone else think that maybe this is what causes him to struggle in the final sprint?

If he added more yards off the tee he'd be in contention much more regularly. He does pretty well for someone 121st in average driving distance on the PGA tour.

No wonder he didn't like Bryson hitting it so far ???
