He literally said "this driver sucks" apparently. ?

Brilliant. I like the guy but he seems to be upsetting a few people lately.

Young golfer challenging the old ways with new ideas hated by golfers who hate change shocker lol

We can't deal with a handicap change let alone one length super speed

He can't just grip and rip drive for show putt for dough blah blah aimed at a major winner lol

 

[PJ87]

Me too. Out of interest, do you have your 2nd questionnaire through on the app and the QR code? We've still had nothing through so far! Aiming to be on the course for 7:30!

Yes it's through now (1am)

What do people think Molinari needs to do to make Ryder Cup. Last RC points record must keep him in the conversation although I expect a very different course in US. 13th at US Open, 52nd at Masters, but not much else in between.

Only getting in on points or a high open finish and a little run be enough to demonstrate form? Challenge of a fair few experienced players outside the automatic spots.

Anyone watching ? Morikawa's having a blinder.

Supposedly Poulter and Garcia are bankers for a pick if they need them so that might only leave one pick - hopefully with Fleetwood in there that might help though could also see Lowry get the nod. Then there's Rose.....

The leaderboard on the official website is updating score before the 'live' TV broadcast even shows the putt!

A huge change compared to what the ET website usually offers up

Morikawa oozes class. Doesn’t need to overpower anything, seems to enjoy himself out there.

It must be so exhausting being Bryson DeChambeau

If BDC doesn't win the lions share of that social media pot, then he, and his management team, will look a bit foolish. I've watched some of the stuff on his Youtube channel, the guy is hyped but he's astute and I don't think for one minute the comments he made yesterday weren't premeditated and maybe even cleared with Cobra - - the comfort at which Cobra also chastised him also seemed a bit planned; I know you should defend your product but telling off your star performer isn't always a good idea.

How’s he doing…..

He's now putting with his sand wedge

did a whole lot better with his wedge than he did with his putter lol

Zalatoris has withdrawn after hurting himself trying to hit one out of the rough on 15 yesterday, thought at the time he nearly snapped himself in half trying the shot!!!!

That's a shame, saw the shot in question yesterday. The most remarkable shot was the next one which he stiffed after the hack out of the rough.

Hope he's not too badly hurt and back playing again soon, looks a quality player.

The man(child) is an idiot — he looks it too and he sure as hell acts like it

First ace of the competition I believe for Thomson. Nice!

 

[Bazz]

Anyone used the park and ride today or yesterday? Seen a few on twitter saying the transfer is taking an hour

I thought that was at his caddie. Missed the put and gave a single finger salute when walking along (or looked like it) and then kept at it with the finger waving towards his caddie.
