Real nice course. Another one with small tricky greens. No-one ever seems to murder this course. Really enjoy watching these featured groups (until it goes off).

I think I would let out a scream of frustration watching DJ and his brother reading a putt

Anyone seen Xander and Daniel in the same group before?

Well for a no risk, risk/reward hole, the tenth was played in +4 by a 3 ball with a combined WR of 16.

To be honest, only 1 of the first 5 groups didn't come close to making a hash of it.
Most drives went 30 or 40 yards left

Maybe they should relax the rules and make the drivers easier to hit ??

I think if they flatten the green and remove the bunkers, it would be more fair.

I thought everyone doesn't want to see golfers hitting the ball that far and want them to play irons off the tee

Do you not read these or the BBC threads, they also want tour balls that they would struggle to hit 200 yards straight unless you got some sort of special shot making skill, Obviously not you James

Sorry James, I was not disagreeing with what you were saying, I agree with you, but you'd be surprised how many don't like players hitting par 4's in 1 shot, especially if they are more powerful than most.

BDC looks agitated when he plays, so pumped up just wants to smash everything.
Even his practice swing exhausts/terrifies me. Interesting that Murray thinks he'll revert to 'normal Bryson' in the years to come

Interesting to see that the LPGA are launching a matchplay event in May. Could be a good one to watch if broadcast although I find matchplay either really captivating or a bit of a wash out if format wrong or one side too dominant so I hope they get good matches on debut of the event.

Yes, him and even Hatton I think are both underrated. I always thought Fitzpatrick record stood up to Fowler (perhaps his Players win significantly better but then Matt has Dubai Championship and British Masters which would have been reasonably strong fields) very well when he was getting headlines with the wins but how they were talked about was widely different.

Fitzpatrick doesn't play an exciting brand of golf, and players like that are often forgotten about/underrated. eg Kuchar, Z. Johnson, Simpson, etc.

Fitzpatrick is a damn good player.
6 wins on the ET is better than many celebrated players achieve, US amateur champ, Silver Medal at The Open.
But he hasn’t done enough on the other side of the Atlantic to be truly recognised as being as good as he is.
His major and Players records are good enough yet, only 1 top 10 is on the low side for such a good player.
So yes, I do think he’s underrated, but that’s due to lack of success in the more meaningful events. A couple of top 5’s in majors and he’ll be one of those talked up before events, I reckon.
