European and PGA Tour General Chat Thread 2016 season

Poulter finished 11 under in Puerto Rico Open, 2 players in a play off finished 12 under.
Even par final round for Poulter, probably kicking himself being so close after 3 sub par rounds.
 
Seriously what is going on with Rory's putting today?

Twice now I see him miss a 4ft putt then put another one down and miss that too.

Has to be a worry with the masters just around the corner.

Nice to see the European Tour making a return to Valderrama. A familiar course from the days of the Volvo Masters and the 97 Ryder Cup.

Happy it is in Spain also.

Having Sergio as the 'host' is a great way to attract a bigger field to these events. Worked very well with Rory and the Irish Open!
Also the first tournament on the year on European soil....crazy considering the name of the Tour!:rolleyes:

Yep, these days the Euro tour is more a World tour. British masters should be good again this year. Luke Donald is the "host with the most" this time round.

I do understand the need for it to be across the globe though of course, to attract the bigger players with higher prize funds, sponsors etc. Still, it is great when it is in Europe.

British Masters will be fun, at a course local to myself!

Think courses have also had a big say in attracting the big names as well as Rory. Just compare leaderboards when at Royal County Down and Royal Portrush to the Leaderboard for Fota Island, Carton House and the confirmed names for the K-Club. Not a bad decision to pull the Irish from Lough Erne next year and look towards links. The dates of the Irish open make it a good preparation round for The Open.
 
Valderrama seems to play incredibly hard. The second round is almost over and the lowest score so far is a -3, the projected cut line is at +10. What makes the course so hard? It can't be the weather, that seems relatively tame with not much wind to speak of.

From what i understand it is an extremely tight course with small greens. As you say, three under leads on a course under 7,000 yards.
 
Russell Knox accent is awful - floating between an Anerican one and Scottish one - sounds horrific
