2022 Professional golf thread

Stunning from Niemann, impressive performance across 4 days, keep an eye out for Cameron Young too!
Yep - he did what he had to do on the final day and other than Morikawa, no one came too close. It would have been better for the tournament had Morikawa made the putt on the last hole, just to put a bit more pressure on Niemann.
 
Fair play to Niemann - did all the scoring on those first two amazing rounds and then held his nerve under pressure to win it. The other winner of the week was Riviera. One of the best courses on the rota.
Now we go to Florida for a month. If the baseball morons ever sort themselves out and the season starts, I might have to go out for spring training and the Valspar event.
 
The Genesis is not really an event I like that much, but given the strength of the field it's perhaps a decent measure of where everyone is potentially at. From a European perspective, Hovland continues to impress and McIlroy was solid if not spectacular; outside of these 2, Casey, MacIntyre and Rahm had decent showings but I think only Rahm and Hovland will be contenders at the Majors. But Morikawa is a machine, came strong again - he'll be my bet for all 4 Majors (although obviously not to win all 4!). Apart from that, the weekend was memorable for the kicking given to Phil by his peers!

yeah i see one of the Hojgaard (sp) twins is playing at PGA National this week will be interesting to see how he goes.

i love the florida swing it's normally the sign that the weathers changing and golf season is just about to start
 
Best phrase in sports - "pitchers and catchers report today". Means spring training is starting and the weather is changing.
 
Lowry looks to be fuming at his bad luck with the weather, nice to see him flying again, Austria has its first PGA Tour winner with Sepp Straka
 
Tough finally for Lowry. The only gripe I have is having to watch Keopka all the time when he’s way out of contention.
Featured groups I could do without.
Well deserved Sepp Straka.
 
Down came the rain.

Either made it very exciting or a bit sad depending on your view.

Fancy not having having waterproofs in the bag - forget to look at the weather forecast did we.

I take it you weren’t watching golf when Tiger was at his peak; Tiger eating a sandwich, Tiger visits the portapotty and Tiger signing his card all took precedence over anyone actually hitting a golf ball. ?
