No interview with Rory from Sky.

They made comments about having to catch a flight to Minnesota so I would say they just legged it, the whole end of show was very rushed.

Rory stuck around but he probably didn't have a non-refundable seat on a commercial flight to worry about.

well sure it's only the Ryder Cup.
I expect he will be ok for a police escort

He said in the press conference that he'd be there before the rest of the team...

With a sore head

Of all the spectacular shots played during the final stages of the playoffs last night, this below from Rory was unbelievable.

JP sensing the imminent danger of hooking a 4-iron under trees and then over water to find a narrow fairway suggests - "Other option is sand wedge"
Rory - "Don't like it"

And hits this with shades of Tiger all over it.

Before the round, he said he'd be aggressive if he needed to be to win. That shot was pure aggression, absolutely no holding back.

So I set the tv to record the last hour last night, just around the 15 hole mark, and went to bed.. woke up the next day to discover Rory had won.. ran downstairs like a child on Christmas morning to watch the highlights... on the first play off hole as Ryan Moore was setting up for his birdie putt the recording stopped. Not to worry, sky will put on a 2 hour highlight package on Monday, so I'll be sorted..

But nothing.. its wall to wall old Ryder cup highlights.. not a mention of highlights for the tour finale event.

What gives? or did they show highlights but not update the programming schedule?

Thanks..

Na had never played 9 holes in that time

I'd say Na played one hole and went, "sod this, just put me down for a 70" and walked off. He played the 8th like me.. pin high in 2... 3,4,5,6,7.. in the hole.. wahoo!!

Sky sports 1 from 10.45. An hours highlights anyway

The PGA Tour have added a new team event to next years schedule. Apparently it is the first official team event on the tour since 1981 and will count for FedEx Cup points and as an official win.

Foursomes on Thursday and Saturday, Fourball on Friday and Sunday. Day & Fowler, Rose & Stenson are 2 early pairings to commit

The top 80 in the pga rankings get to pick their partner but if anybody picks a high ranked partner then number 81 gets into the field and so on.

Bubba shoots 29 strokes on front nine.

I laughed out loud at that one

I wonder what he calls his putter anyway? After all his 3 iron is not a 3 iron, it's Azalea I think, and his wedge or something is called tin cup.

the guy is a fruit loop

Maybe not the correct thread for this but the R&A and USGA are introducing a new local rule that covers accidentally causing your ball to move on the putting green. It's still only optional for clubs to use but I would imagine most will use it. It will also be used in most professional events.

A logical and sensible introduction and not before its time.

Possibly worth its own thread for discussion ? Or nothing to discuss and just a bit of common sense being applied.........?
