    All about how many ranking points he can pick up today for Ryder Cup. Not too many other Europeans up there.

    Top 10 would go some way towards that, hopefully he can post 68 or better and that should do it.

    Top 10 would be brilliant result

    He looks in good control of things from the shots I’ve seen so far. Just hope he manages to stay away from doubles, they’ve killed him recently

    Good birdie bounce back on 13, can still get a top 10 with a hot finish, but should be a top 20 either way.

    In fairness - best week for him in a while - and could easily have been near top. A big step up in performance.

    He was very poor in 2020 - what is your point.

    3 on 18 would get him into the top 12, and an invite for next year's masters. 4 might as well, if a couple of players drop back

    Poor 3 putts at 9 and 18 to bogey both

    Scrap that, wrong caption for putt on 18 but still a bogey

    He already has an exemption from winning The Open.

    Disappointing to finish with a bogey at the 18th. Decent enough finish, but could have been so much better.

    5 years I think. So 3 more at least.

    I wonder will that be extended by a year because there was no Open Championship last year?

    level par .pretty meh,par 5s let him down big time and with a better performance on them he wud have been much closer.I reckon the least you need on par 5s in Augusta is -8.They give you a buffer against the the inevitable bogeys that are out there.

    Looked so promising after those birdies on 2,5 and 7.

    He's exempt until 60 at The Open anyway. The other majors were played so there won't be any change there.

    Are you sure? I would have thought that it depends on whether the exemption for the other majors is defined as a five year exemption for winners of the Open or an exemption for the winner of the last five Opens.

    one for the lawyers there,hopefully he will win another British open in next few years and render it moot.
