European and PGA Tour General Chat Thread 2016 season

really hope Sergio can pull it off ,but im thinking Scott will be too strong for him ,and i dont like Scott,dont know why but i think its the way he thought he had won the masters before he had actually won it.
c`mon SERG.
 
Was a hard one - I really wanted Sergio to win but Scott's swing is a thing of beauty and to get the short putter under control and win is a fantastic way of silencing his critics so still happy!
 
So, the two main tours move on to Doral and the first big gathering of all the major players. Should be interesting what with Jordan and Rory both missing cuts recently and Jason Day having a quiet start to the year.
 
Doral will have to go some to match the Honda at the weekend. Superb show put on by scotty and sergio, especially on the Saturday. More of the same please lads!
 
I downloaded the PGA Tour app to watch the last two tournaments live on my IPad. I'm reasonably pleased with the coverage so far. It does enable me to watch the golf and listen to the commentators through a headphone without being totally divorced from the other normal activities in the sitting room, that is, I can watch the TV at the same time. I'm looking forward the watching the next tournament.

presumably you either live in the states or use a vpn?
 
Neither. The site is not perfect, it covers featured groups on the first two days, and featured holes on the weekend. Some final rounds are not available because they have been purchased by other broadcasters, but throughout the week, I do get to see most, if not all, players. It costs £29.99 for a year, but it doesn't include any Majors or the Ryder Cup.

This is a reply to Pendodave's post earlier today.

I heard a stat about Spieth's putting that said that his hole-out percentage isn't massively better than anyone else from 10-15 feet BUT...

He holes more birdie putts from that distance than anyone else, and by a mile. Other pros hole enough of those length of putts to save par, or even bogey sometimes, but he out-performs them all when it comes to birdie conversion at that range.

Something to do with the psychology of the possibility of losing shots being a greater motivation than the prospect of gaining shots. Fear of failure is a greater driver than potential success, even in the heads of elite players.

That's the thing that sets him apart. I almost always expect him to make a birdie, given half a chance. With Rory, I'm always waiting for the 3-putt.

None of which matters, particularly, because I hope Rickie cleans up this year. Fully agree that he's playing the best golf of the top 4 so far, even allowing for his weekend nightmare. I hope he wins at least one major this year.
 
Some really good groupings. Spieth, Rory and Day. Fowler, Watson and Stenson; Scott, D Johnson and Rose. Should be a good watch tonight.
 
Seems like it's not going to be available on the PGA Tour Live site. I just get the message that video is not available in my area. Sad.
