European and PGA Tour General Chat Thread 2016 season

Great work from Matt Fitz today. He's come a long way from when me and my old man saw him on the range at Wentworth looking a little lost.

Yes he played very well as did Hatton just the last hole being the difference.

Hatton will be eating away at himself for his final drive but can take a lot of positives.

So hard to win on the European tour at the moment and some great news about the Rolex series for next year also,all bodes well for the future.
 
Great news for all. Fitzpatrick and Hatton really announcing themselves as genuine major potential winners and Stenson capping off a stellar year. A good ending for European golfers and the tour.
 
Yes seems to not have a care in the world and his golf is amazing.

Radar was in awe of the man and how he reduced that course to a pitch and putt.

Good to see JR and Luke playing better as well.

Also Phil M had a 20ft putt for his first ever in his golfing career 3 eagles in one round and just missed out.
 
Fully deserved accolade for DJ, quite a cool character outwardly but boils inside maybe? Seems to have got mentally stronger - remember him choking the year GMac won the US Open and same again at The Open in 2011

I get the impression he's very good at letting go of stuff and not letting it bother him - even inwardly.

From an online article

.....but the one involving DJ and Wayne Gretzky caught our attention.

According to The Great One, Johnson travelled with Paulina and the rest of the Gretzkys to Idaho after his three-putt on the final hole of regulation cost him a shot at winning the U.S. Open at Chambers Bay. The following day, a group went out to play golf without Johnson, figuring playing golf less than 24 hours after (arguably) the most painful loss of his life would be the last thing Johnson wanted to do.

Wrong.

Gretzky says that Johnson caught up to the group on the second hole and wondered why he hadn't been asked to play. DJ then proceeded to play, something that stunned the hockey legend.

"I know this much," Gretzky said. "If I ever lost Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, I wouldn't want to skate with a bunch of amateurs the next day."

His consistency has been amazing from the start of 2016: 28 tournaments: 4 wins (US Open, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, BMW Championship and Genesis Open), plus a further 6 top-3s, 4 top-5s and 5 top-10s. His schedule is also packed with the very biggest tournaments, so those finishes are often against the very best. Seems a nice chap as well.
 
56 out of 56 from 7 feet or inside


How much lower would your handicap be if you had that hole out percentage...
 
An awesome stat. Fowler when he's on form is a joy to watch. Birdie this and he sets a new record 72-hole aggregate score for this competition. Brilliant stuff. Hope he kicks on now and starts winning more regularly. One of my favourite players on Tour, hope he wins a major this year.
 
Re. Nothing in particular, just noticed a witb for DA Points who won the opposite field event on the for last week in Puerto Rico.

Must be the wierdest set up on tour.

2007 burner 3 wood
2 19 degree hybrids (sldr and ping g)
7-pw are ping i5!!

Everyone should look at this collection and reflect before heading out for the custom fit that'll change their game...
 
Did anyone see the exchanges between the Americans Kelly Kraft and Grayson Murray against many of the ET/Asian Tour players?

The Americans certainly got shot down and rightly so. Ben An ripped in to them :rofl:

If no typos then that is pretty bizarre! Good spot
 
Golfwrx forums for DA Points (there were pics, so no typos!) and the Twitter nonsense.

It's always a good read for the (mainly) septic angle on the game.
