Oh dear

Lashley is gone. It's Bergers now.

Blimey.

Blimey.

Blimey indeed - tantrum too

2 putts and done.

When someone as talented as he obviously is can't work out how to keep a drive on the planet after years of working on it, I wonder if it's even worth bothering to try and correct my own 2-way short knocking...

Exactly!

I’ve been watching lots of the Masters and Open YouTube uploads of their recent tournaments.
Ditto for Tiger Woods....only uses Driver when he has to and very inaccurate with it. It’s amazing how much he avoids it and how bad he has been with it since about 2011, relatively to other tour pros.

He’s probably swung a club more times in his life than all of us forummers have combined, got all the time and money and training aids to do so, and he’s relatively very poor with it.

No more berating myself for my own driver woes when golf restarts!

I think I might have been fined a few quid after that as well. Genuinely painful to watch.

2nd shot of Berger at 18. 250 and it stops like that.

 

[upsidedown]

Fabulous putt

 

[fundy]

At least Bergers eagle means Maverick did lose by yesterday penalty shot

Cracking final round by a guy who knows how to win. Be good to see him win a big one this year now

The L.A. open starts today. Great course, great field. Really looking forward to this one.

Appears Rory is changing shafts in his irons, wonder if it is going to improve distance control with wedges?

 

[sweaty sock]

Classic course, wish they would show more of the course rather than just shoving the 10th down our throat.

 

[Deleted member 3432]

Doubt it.
It's been his achilles heel since the year dot, the difference between much of his wedge play and his overall talent and ability is incredible sometimes.

Look at DJ, was similar with his wedge game but now one of the best.

Don't understand why Rory doesn't sort it out, is he too stubborn to go to a different coach to sort it?

Agreed. Whatever it once was, it doesn't quite seem to work any more.
There's not enough reward (seems impossible to hold the green).
There's not enough risk (the long misses are not much harder than if you lay up from the tee.

Yeah, its a bit one dimensional now, take driver miss left. Even if its in the trees...

Maybe a hint of arrogance as well as stubbornness.
Watching him over the last couple of years it's become the Rory Show, his caddie is there to carry his clubs and that's it, doesn't give or offer any advice that I've seen.

Seen 9 players go for the green on the 10th so far and only 1 has made it...and then rolled through into the bunker...The rest have missed it by a country mile.
Apparently its just under half a shot better to go for it rather than lay up....
If someone lays up we might find out for certain.

Only if they score an 8 or something. If they get a 3, that's that theory out.

Bet Morrikawa wishes he'd laid up...

 

[Imurg]

Have I tuned in to the Midweek Medal..?
They're all making a right Horlicks of a "risk/reward" hole...I haven't seen any risk rewarded yet..
