On a cheerier note, could this be the tournament that Matt Fitzpatrick joins the elite club of major winners? Out in the last group today, great stuff so far.

He's got a seasoned caddy with him, both Yorkshiremen so there'll be no nonsense out there. Hopefully they can do it for Gods own County.

Surprised a Yorkshireman needs a caddy. As my dad always says "you can always tell a yorkshireman, but you can't tell 'em much!".

Wow. I wonder if he was inspired by a certain forum moderator?

Is it really a 6 wood though?

Nah. Can’t see him doing it in the spotlight of the last group.

Although fair play to bbc for actually leading with a picture of him and not Mcilroy last night.

Am I correct in thinking that he's never actually won a major? Seems mad considering how highly thought he is, the players he has caddied for, and how long he has been around.

Not looked into that tbh, hopefully he can change that today.

Of those closest to the leader he is the only proven winner and has a fantastic chance. Especially on a tough course where grinding out pars means something

He's doing it again.

They've been talking about Fitzpatrick for half an hour as if he isn't going to go and shoot 73 today.

I notice that are not repairing divots.. Is this normal for the pga?

 

[IainP]

Maybe isn't, but feels like the rules official is making a bit of a dog's dinner here with Zalatoris
Zzzzzz

There are usually people who do it for them to speed things up a bit.

[IainP]

I've not watched all the coverage, has there much talk on them using rangefinders this week?
