Professional Golf 2024

Tremendous Golf from Fleetwood all week. He really deserved that, but 9 under 62 on the final day is tough to match. Been a brilliant competition all week. Crowds were great, all the players have been great. Victor Perez had a sensational day too. Been a magnificent watch. Congratulations Scottie Sheffler!

This and this again!

Fleetwood did not lose this, Scheffler won it. The 17th and 18th have played as the hardest holes all week and Tommy played them well, even that up and down to secure silver was a fantastic result. Tommy with a final round 66, in the final group on the final day of the Olympics just outdone by a robotic 62 (SIXTY TWO!!) from the worlds number one.

What a great watch that was....

Yes easy to critique Tommys chip on 17 I did at the time
but he came a close second to the world number one who shot 62 .

Superb coverage by Discovery. Very good commentary and best of all no fawning over Mcilroy. Yes, I'm talking about you Dougherty

 

[Swango1980]

And to think Scheffler didn't even care about the Olympics, just there for a bit of fun......

Just too good

Shooting a 62 is deserving of winning Gold, it’s not like the course was easy.
Scheffler is just a machine and miles better than everyone else at the moment.
Tommy and Hideki can be pleased with their efforts this week as well

All of the discovery Olympic coverage is good. To the detriment of our terrestrial channels, sadly.
I bought it for my dad, who has a surprising interest in winter sports (he's never partaken). The cycling coverage is excellent too (which we both watch).

That sums Tommy up. A great player, a great guy, but he just always seems to fall a little short at the end.

Bit harsh this time. He shot 66 in the final round, all four rounds in the 60s. Great golf just Sheffler stormed through.

Jon Rahm not used to playing 4 rounds any more

 

[simsini]

The Eurosport/Discovery coverage was so good because it didn't just follow one group around the course and actually showed shot after shot without ads.

Rory has it about right with his words on the sport at the moment

The two events that are prob the purest - both don’t have money ridding on them

The Olympics and the Ryder Cup


Money is ripping the sport apart

Ripping all sport imo.

Luke Donald giving himself the option to pick 6 plsyers for the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Sensible given the state of the OWGR right now.

We had six picks last time as well didn't we? Judging from the caption the only change is that they'll ignore the world ranking points now.

I said it as soon as he moved to LIV but they'll make whatever changes are necessary to allow Rahm to be picked anyway. And I suspect Hatton will be as well.

We did, for some reason I was thinking it was 3.

Hopefully it encourages a few LIV players to stay on or rejoin the DPWT, and play in a few events.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

They still will need to be members of the DP and fulfill the obligations of that membership

Will cost them a lot of fines and end up playing prob more competitions than they did before

Not a player I'd noticed before but what a front 9 from Morgane Metraux in rd2

Spoiler: spoiler

28 out with eight 3's and a 4

Still a way to go but what an achievement it would be if Lydia ko can grab a 3rd successive Olympic medal !

Fantastic result for her, (and gold was the only medal that also seals her place in the golf hall of fame)

Bronze, silver and now a gold in successive Olympics!!

Sullivan in with a chance at Foxhills ...
