Scheffler reminds me of a young Mark Calcavecchia!

Caught the back end of a conversation about a rule, McKinley hadn't heard of it. Beem knew apparently. What was that about? Anyone catch it?

12th hole I think? Short par four over water, playing 290 yards. Kuchar drove his ball to the right of the green. Scheffler drove into the water just short of the green, so had a stroke & distance drop in line of sight a long way back. Referee deemed that Kuchar was away first. Didn't understand that myself either.

Love that, little bit of match play games there from Scotty. Stood right next to Kuchar’s bag, as if to be checking which club he’s pulling. Kuchar’s caddy then notices and moves to block his view. ha

Thanks. Only thing I can think of, is that decision was based on where the ball in the water landed. I.e the "splash " was nearer to the hole than Kuchars ball!
Hmmm
Look forward to the discussions ?

The pace of play is bloody atrocious. 2 balls taking over 4 hours to get round a course. It’s pathetic and I wish they would fine/maim/dock strokes or something to get them to hurry the hell up!

I would have a shock collar on them. Gives you a few volts after 30 seconds and a fatal dose after 45 seconds.
A few dead pros would send the message pretty damn quick

I said today "even if I was good enough I would never be patient enough to be a professional golfer" - or would I never be good enough because I couldn't take so long to decide the shot?!

It's been tedious today
Slow ( players fault) and only 2 games on the course....
Semifinals took way too long to keep my interest, again, because it's slow and only 4 players.
This is one reason TV doesn't like Matchplay...

Think I'm only staying with it in the hope that Perez gives Matty a good shoeing

TV could love matchplay if the guy leading at the 3 hour point won.

But what's the rush? It's not as if the course is all backing up.

So how slow would not be ok. 5 hours, 8, 10, 24? Give me a clue as to what would be unacceptable in your view?

They're on an empty golf course, they can take as long as they need ............................ in my opinion.
As long as they finish before dark and before the bar shuts.
Different scenario if it were on a busy day, obviously.

And straight away, that is what is wrong with modern golf. Give them 2 1/2 hours to get round, and then dq and zero money. It's a disgrace.

TV schedules, interest, setting an example to club golfers, juniors, any one watching thinking this is golf, all sorts.
Flip it on it's head.
Why should it take 4, 5, 6 , 8 hours to play golf? What if footy took 24 hours? What's not to like?
