    Bit of a joke that there is no strokes gained stats. Surely that is not standard stuff at this stage.

    Or am I missing it somewhere?

    Can’t even get a play by play for each player never mind some fancy stats.

    Hatton looks like he brought his A game today, he could shoot the lights out.

    Freak event. Any golf fan would tell you that

    Nicklaus won at 46 when playing rubbish for years....you'd have denied him that chance too.

    Not to mention Tiger and last years Masters!

    crazy duval is only 47 when his career at the top seems done for what seems so long, younger than phil who is declining but can still come up with a performance every now and again

    Ian Baker-Finch won the Open in 1991 at age 30 but within three years his game had gone to ****e and he retired from tournament play after shooting a score of 92 in the 1997 Open.

    I do think he game was too reliant on putting at his peak though.
    If you are holing 50% of 20 footers then you should be winning tournaments by 10 shots....that chicken wing follow-through is bizarre also

    I'm with you but he is playing serious golf right now. We are going to have to put up with seeing a lot of him tomorrow sadly.

    Spieth still has the big mistake in him as you seen yesterday. He is getting closer but I don't think he is there yet.

    He was second overall tee to green one of the years (2016 I think). Not really over reliant on putting, although it was obviously outstanding.

    Well he was reliant on putting to win, since he wasn't winning by huge margins and was holing stupid long putts.
    Most winners would hole 1 or 2 long ones but it felt like he was getting 10 in a tournament.

    was in a greenside run off and took a few attempts to get to the green until he lashed it over the far side!

    Yeah that's awful as well, no surprise that there's nothing sponsorship on it.

    Nike very rarely allow sponsors on their golf gear?

    He's playing super golf though!

    Yeah I don’t think you’ll see any other sponsor on the T-shirt any of the Nike players, may be a couple of exceptions, but can’t think of any.
