2022 Professional golf thread

Just turned on the golf to watch The British Masters and instead it’s “early group coverage” from the US ?‍

This is what I don't understand - they don't start showing any British Masters coverage until 130PM? Makes no sense (and there were some good early groups yesterday).

Not sure Westwood is pulling off the hoodie look
Nice shot into that green though

Love it when the crowd are congratulating a player for a great shot. Meanwhile the player is moaning like mad because he’s missed the green on the wrong side, and is absolutely disgusted with himself.

Yeah not just Pros, PP shouts good shot after I take a divot with the 3w today because it still went straight.... but only 80% distance ?

I watched it live last night. The truth is I find it a bit sad that he has become a bit of a sideshow and can't help but think that he really should be up there competing with the best.

What a finish to the British Masters!
Great tv and very happy to see him winning again

An amazing finish to go Eagle Birdie, especially after the way he played the 3 holes before that, hacking his way up 15 he's head was gone

Never seen anything like that. Well done the Belfry for putting on a great event and well done Thorbjorn Oleson.
The last 6 shots perfection.

Have been busy this weekend so my 1st watch of the golf from the USA. Looks like a more interesting/tougher course than the usual courses that they play at over the pond.

It does look very good. It's also absolutely honked it down for the first 3 days so scoring has been hard. It's been good to watch.

It looks like our course in mid winter from where Keegan Bradley just played from.

Matt Fitzpatrick looks set for another good finish. Is he becoming our version of Matt Kuchar? Doesn't really threaten to win but racks up good finishes, and paydays, on a pretty regular basis.

What does he need to take that next step ?

Fitzpatrick has already won some big tournaments so far but I suspect as with the likes of Luke Donald he will fall short for the majors on a combination of shorter hitter and just not having those 4 career rounds all in one comp

Like The Belfry?

Exception to the rule ?.

The British Masters is always a little different, does the course pay to host?

The PGA pros seemed to find it hard to play which was an enjoyable watch rather than smash, pitch and putt so common on their tour. The rain made a tricky course even harder and good to see an event where several under par is a good score.

I agree, the 'long drive followed by a wedge NTP' tournaments get mundane pretty quickly. I like the course variety we see because the ET visits so many countries
(even so I'm not a big fan of the totally artificial desert courses) The PGA tour popping down to Hawaii doesn't really give the same scope of course you get when jumping continents
Plus the times of pga live programmes doesn't suit me, so its easy for me to prefer the ET
