A friend of mine in the US media is a member at Riviera and rates it over any other course in the States including Augusta. I've been to Torrey Pines but not played it. That view is spectacular. The West Coast swing is pretty special.
The Florida events have a special meaning as I have covered the Valspar at Innisbrook in Tampa and love the place. I've got an invite back to the Pro Am one year if I can make it work.

feels a bit like a parent whose baby is the best looking one to me, i like Riviera, a lot, best course in America, not for me

2 guys playing a different tournament here currently, could be a fun weekend ahead watching them be chased down

Or a dull one if they keep playing like that!


if they get close to -30 round riviera over 4 rounds then you just have to doff the proverbial cap dont you? 2 very talented players for sure but some decent players in the pack, plenty of who have a chance to start chasing this afternoon

glass half full and all that :)

I just had a scroll down the PGA website leaderboard and noticed how easy the 1st was playing, yet Rory only managed to par it.
After looking at around a dozen other players I finally found another who hadn't birdied it or better, surprised to see it was Colin Morikawa!

Should Spieth already be favourite for the Masters? Playing incredibly well here. Think it was last year that he couldn't putt for the life of him at The Masters... much better form now.

I have Spieth for this one at 14/1 and if he keeps up his current form I will probably take a punt on him for the Masters, depends on the odds.

I know I've posted a fair few times on the Saudi League thing, so apologies if it is getting boring. But it is a story that just seems to get more and more bizarre. Mickelson seems to be on a bit of kamikaze mission... These quotes:

“They’re scary mother****ers to get involved with,” he said. “We know they killed [Washington Post reporter and U.S. resident Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates. They’ve been able to get by with manipulative, coercive, strong-arm tactics because we, the players, had no recourse. As nice a guy as [PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan] comes across as, unless you have leverage, he won’t do what’s right. And the Saudi money has finally given us that leverage. I’m not sure I even want [the SGL] to succeed, but just the idea of it is allowing us to get things done with the [PGA] Tour.”

Wow, that is amazing. Wasn’t he one of the favourites to captain the US at the next Ryder Cup over there? What a way to throw your legacy away.
