What a great watch this was!

For me it had everything. Fantastic course, stunning views, wide open fairways and super long. Some really great TV coverage from SKY with all angles and almost every shot seen from the best viewpoint. And the super slow motion too!

Now the players: well what about Graham McDowell, a fantastic last round 62 with birdie after birdie.

From Bubba Watsons Eagle at the 18th in the 1st round to Jason Days 106yd drive on the 13th! The way he accepted it and just goes to show it's not just us mere mortals that mess it up sometimes!

Robert Garrigus, the power hitter, where did he come from, and that mini putter?

The putting ability of Carl Petersson with his broomhandle putter.

Last but not least Jonathon Byrd, what a solid player. I bet Tommo loves him, having that Hoganesque swing - so effortless. Fair play to him for keeping it all together and looking so calm and collected.

I have to say it's probably one of the best Golf Tournaments
I've seen and certainly the most enjoyable.

It is for all PGA Tour winners from the previous season.

Robert Garrigus has played a short putter for years. I played with him (by chance) in the US about 5 years ago and he had a 28.5 inch putter then. Hit a very big ball off the tee then too. We played a par 5 of 598 yards, flat hole, no wind, not much run, and he hit the green with a driver, 3 iron.

He told me he was baseball player but hurt his knee. Took up golf at 14 or 15, got down to 3 handicap within 1 season, got to +2 next season.

Nice guy. I was interested in his Taylor Made TP clubs, so he offered me a go with his driver. I won't describe the outcome of the shot.

Did it better Jason Day's effort? :D :D

From what they said he had addiction problems then sorted himself out,to see a guy hit it so far then watch his sublime short game it was really good to watch.
Anybody any idea why the US Tour players were using the new TM woods while the European Tour guys were'nt?
