European and PGA Tour General Chat Thread 2016 season

Jason Day looks to have pulled a back muscle or a muscle in his side.
I can see him pulling out especially with Augusta coming up.

This is my fear for him now and Rory swinging so hard,will they actually be like Tiger later on in their careers and get a lot of injuries,hard to say I know but it must take its toll.

Only just come in so missed that. Doesn't sound good and I assume he'll pull out and maybe miss the Shell next week as well if it's at all bad. I happen to agree that these full on swings have to take their toil and they could end up with issues like Woods. Even going back Seve was arguably the full on swing of his day and he suffered greatly with his back at the end of the career
 
I think with day and in particular Mcilroy there is a lot of suttle movements that are an explosion of power and fast twitch muscle movements. However If you look at Adam Scott his hole body is just a lot more stable and therefore his body with be more sustainable overtime.

Not looking too shabby so far; 2 up through 2.
 
Zach Johnson 8&6 thrashing of Martin Kaymer! Ouch!

Good result for Andy Sullivan.

Johnson great matchplayer, Kaymer is not so only going to one winner there. Sullivan is the dark horse, Could be in for RC spot the way he's going. Could be the next Poulter, tough competitor.
 
My boy Rafa is going along nicely.
Really do love this format. I think mickleson has been playing some great golf and of course so has Zach.
Wide open really but they are my front runners.
 
Some cracking matches in store on a busy day as the real tournament begins.

Last 16 ties:

Haas v Kirk
Rory v Z.Johnson
Kuchar v Koepka
Day v Snedeker
An v Cabrera-Bello
Kizzire v Moore

Spieth v Oosthuizen

All begins in 12 minutes!

Rorys game will be really interesting. I'd fancy Rory all day on paper, but Zach Johnson has ripped it up this week.
