Pete Cowan: “I hate it. It could ruin someone’s career”…. On the new 17th hole.

Quite possibly the worst golfing take I’ve ever read in my entire life.

“Guys, get rid of the Barry burn… it may ruin someone’s career”
“Fill in the pond at sawgrass… it may ruin someone’s career”
“Reroute the 12th at Augusta away from Rae’s Creek… it may ruin someone‘s career”

Cameron Smith and Wyndham Clark have both played crackers on to 17.
Thought this was a hard hole.....
Poor comment from Pete Cowan to be fair, it's exactly the same for everybody so not sure what the big deal is.

Just checked and the good news is that it looks like Phil won’t be thrown off the course for contravening Royal Liverpool’s dress code, if you can describe his look as ‘conventional golf attire’.

Was 3 off the tee

Oh maybe I misread that his 3rd was “over the fence” left - think it was just the spectator fence (and wiped someone out by the looks of it!)

JT’s chip on the 1st hole got a good giggle from me. Love seeing these world class golfers be made to look silly!

Has the look of someone who was really trying their best from the Lost and Found box to avoid contravening the indecent exposure code.
