As the host, is it fair to assume he’s had an influence on how the course is set up for the coming days?

I take it none of you lot have ever duffed a chip then 
He’s not the only one, I’ve seen others do it tonight too.

Great to see him out there again. Getting a bit ragged over the last couple of holes but the signs are good.
Well that wasn’t bad at all.
a few duffs, a couple of nice breaks, but all in all he looked relatively decent. If he plays like that til Sunday then it Would be a success imo.

He looked shattered when he finished and he seems to have eaten well whilst away.
I guess it’s what is expected- started well , couple of duff chips , some good putting then some wayward driving started to creep in towards the end

I think fatigue was always to be expected. Both mentally and physically.
Id imagine during most of his practice rounds have included buggies to take away any extra physical strain.
Didnt look in pain though, just knackered.

FATIGUE!! He's only played a round of golf, with someone else carrying his clubs!!
Im glad it's not me that was thinking that!

I'm glad I'm at work and have missed the circus from all the commentary and so called experts blowing smoke up his ****

I presume you’ve recovered from numerous back surgeries and then walked 10k in heat having most likely done very little previously?
Mental fatigue will also have played a part with the loose shots.

-3. Very solid start. Didn't get to watch much after the first few holes but looked very promising. -3 is a very strong return.
He looked knackered and I'd have thought he'd have done plenty of gym work and played plenty of rounds to get to a level of fitness again. Either way, good to see him back, looking pain free and playing reasonably

Have to factor in the adrenaline dump of being back playing competition golf. Completely different swaning around his course at home to playing in a competition after 10 months. Has a huge impact on levels of fatigue, see it in combat sports all the time.
Totally agree. Funnily enough Ewan Murray said the same on twitter

No, but we're not talking about me. We are talking about someone who has access to all the latest gym equipment, physiotherapists, doctors, coaches, blah de blah. I mean, it's not as if this tournament was sprung on him.
What on earth is mental fatigue? Have I missed something? Is his mortgage on the line here?

Combat sport? Golf? I'm clearly playing this game wrong :smirk:
