Spoilt for choice last night. PGA, LPGA and LIV. Thought DJ was excellent and fun to watch.

Be quite engaged in the Italian stuff this weekend but bob Mac’s round today is something quite special.

That’s a great win from Bob MacIntyre - shame about Fitz getting distracted on the tee

the course is clearly set up for Matchplay and those top 4 will prob be in the Ryder Cup team next year.

Was pleased MacIntyre just chipped that shot to set up the win, and didn't entertain Jay Townsend (think it was him) thoughts of seeking relief from the sprinklers and ending up on the green.

Good night fpr the Doon household.
Bob MacIntyre seeing off Rory and Matt and Hearts beating Motherwell 3-0.
Listening to one whilst watching the other, it all climaxed about the same time.

The week I don't bet on Bob MacIntyre he wins. I thought it was only my own golf game I mucked up but seems like I've held Bob back as well.

Danny Willett makes birdie after his tee shot ends up behind a big tree. Big hook onto the back of the green, sinks the putt.

Some shot.

Well that's the blow up to end all blow ups

 

[garyinderry]

Took a long time to take that first putt. Never looked in right off the bat. Ouch

Well that's the blow up to end all blow ups

Indeed, incredible.

That chip in from Homa must have killed him, when he thought he'd have at least 2 putts from 3ft to win. Completely unnerved, what a horrible finish

Up and down from the bunker, but the manner of it was the the shock to the system.

MacIntyre’s coach is one Simon Shanks…no really?. Great win.

I've known Simon for years from when he was at Bowood. Also coaching Jordan Smith who started playing there as a junior.

Can imagine walking to the green he may have had little thoughts that he'd done it.
Only read the interview but he seemed to be upbeat despite. He did earn the same ranking points as McIntyre, and climbed 60 or spots.

Can’t believe willet held a smile while shaking hands, wonder how hard that hit his wallet.

I'd imagine he was simply in complete shock, and he just wanted to smile and get away as quickly as possible. Better that than going into a rage, or breaking down in tears, in front of everyone I suppose. He wouldn't have been smiling inside.

Just seen it, every one of us would be disappointed with that bogey from that position.

Biggest blow up? Maybe due to the timing of the last hole/put?

The blow up that gifted him the Masters by Spieth was a lot more spectacular, in my opinion.

The PGA Tour event this week is The Presidents Cup.
As a European, I've always struggled to be excited by it - is it different for those more involved?

Sort of felt like it existed so USA could exclaim :
"we beat the rest of the world! (excluding Europe) "
Plus felt a bit PGAT vs. PGAT.

Do wonder if ironically there may be more interest this year with the exclusions from both teams. But difficult to see past a large USA win.

Pieters is the top ranked player in France this week.
Would quite like to see a strong showing from Fox after he was overlooked for P.C.
19 ranking points on offer for winner.
