I'll be sick to see Cantalay or Na win this.
Two painfully slow players. Kevin Na is a disgrace. Cantalay shuffling his hips 20 times before every shot too.

Mushy

Jesus it'd be insufferable if Na won. The fear is him out first in the singles if the Ryder cup!

seen him a few weeks ago - said to myself , ok last few years with Aimpoint - ball line up - note reading - 360 view , we have had some crazy routines.

But his takes the biscuit in annoying level.

The carry on out of Na over a 2 foot putt earlier was shocking. A full 1:30 to putt a tap in.

Na and Fowler are 2 serial bottlers when in the lead final day

That is why - when you hear people go on about Fowler for a major you go - yes , but.

And majors are 10 times the pressure.

Even the players he won he had a crazy finish with birdies and eagles to snatch it. Give him a lead hitting the final day and he folds everytime

Yes - but if your there enough times , eventually everyone else makes a balls of it too and you are the winner and feel on top of the world then.

Day
Sergio

etc.

Will be interesting to see Sergio this year.

Kuchar another guy in the mix loads - but rarely takes the event or falls away in a major.

what Bubba does with a golf club makes no sense -

ForeRight

Bubba with his third win at the Genesis. He really has the invisible touch at that tournament.

BoroMan32

Cantlay has had his injury struggles and is a supremely talented golfer but by god is he tough to watch.

Deeper Blue

Has Bubba officially won though? Don't think Cantlay and Na have completed the front 9 yet so they might still have a chance

backspin.

Good to see Bubba or (should that be Blubba) back in action again. Very emotional guy but super talented.

Very impressive display from Bubba, thoroughly deserved. Felt his holed bunker shot on 14 was very lucky and it opened up a lead that never looked in danger.

Very disappointed by GMac, just disappeared after a steady start.

And finally, big Phil. Third week in a row that he was contending. A good outside bet for another green jacket. The man is a legend!

Found the 3rd round far more enjoyable, quicker pace and less dead air time between shots. Fair play to Bubba, great advertisement for ProV1! All in all it is a very entertaining tournament especially compared to the ProAm the week before, Riviera is a great course, great to see the guys forced to make shots

That's a strange response to a player winning a tournament

It's a fair response when you consider below.

Wonder how happy the guys at Volvik will be to see Bubba possibly winning this tournament. He uses their balls in 2017 and has his worst year on tour and in 2018 returns to Titleist and is off to a good start.

Yes that's fair enough. I actually missed that news to be honest.
No wonder tgat comment seemed so out of place to me.

You can point to a lot of changes that may have contributed to Bubbas improvement this weekend but you can certainly pinpoint his drop in the world rankings to to move to Volvik

I was putting it down to his dramatic weight loss to be honest. Duffner did the same in terms of body composition and dropped off the scene.

On commentary they mentioned bubba said he had a mysterious illness last year.

Deeper Blue

Always liked Riviera, you'd wonder why some of the courses on tour are never used for majors.

Why not use the likes of Riviera instead of brand new courses like Erin Hills and Chambers Bay?

Edit: I see that it has hosted the PGA in '95 and '83 and the US Open in 1948

Much too short for the modern game.

It was by no means a birdie fest though so if they tightened the fairways even more and let the rough grow up would it not be a serious test?

I would not be too downhearted if you are a Graeme McDowell fan despite last night's disappointing back nine. I really think that PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens where this week's Honda Classic is to be played is an ideal venue for GMac. His ball striking was excellent in rounds 1 to 3 in the Genesis and with windy conditions expected in Florida this week, I think that the Ulsterman has a huge chance to win this week. Obviously Tiger, Rickie, Rory and co will grab all the headlines. Should be a great week.

And the greens are also pretty devious. It doesn't suit the big hitters but maybe the USGA wouldn't mind.

They would need to maybe toughen up the first a bit too, would like to see the 10th made a bit easier too, doesn't seem possible to hold the green from the tee

Good call, he tends to go well at the Honda. Hoping for a good week.

Yeah that was a 2 shot swing that ball hitting the pin and dropping.
