PGA Tour Thread

Didn’t get to stay up to watch the end but very happy to see Webb win for my bank account. Even though he is now up number 5 in the world, he is still severally underrated. He tops the other rankings which seem to be a much better way of telling form. (Sangren rankings)

Not the prettiest swing but he is so solid and he has now turned his putting into a real weapon.

Can understand why people don’t like the firy golfers like Hatton but we have to have them. Bring so much entertainment with the comments and the potential for explosion!!

Gotta feel for Ancer. Missed only 7 greens all week(18 on Sunday), shoots 65 65 on the weekend and still doesn’t win. Second time he has shot over 20 under this season and not won. Since 2003, there have been 38 players to hold a 54-hole lead/co-lead on the PGA Tour and shoot 65 or lower in the final round.

37 went on to win.

Abraham Ancer, today, is the only player not to.

Another shocking final round from Rory really. Wasn’t in what a shot of a win obviously but a little concerning about these Sunday collapses. His game is very mixed at the minute with plenty of issues. Onto a course he had some success last year at so think it will be a good test to see where his game is really at. Don’t think the last two courses really suited him.

Not sure I agree with you that it was a collapse. He was 5 behind going into the final day. If he was leading then it would be a collapse. He needed to shoot a 59 to win in the end.

Obviously yesterday wasn’t necessarily a collapse but when the field scoring average is like 67, his round was pretty poor. He can still set a good score up like JT or brooks did. Same last Sunday when he had an outside chance of setting a good target score.
Then look deeper into the Sunday at Arnold Palmer and riviera. He has some demons developing. Last season he would still turn poor weeks into top 10’s.

I'm very surprised Simpson has only won 7 times including last night and his win in February, I would've thought he'd won at least 10 times in total. Apparently he's lost 5 playoffs also though.

He has a major ye? US open I think

A long time ago now. Gotta fancy him this year to have a serious chance in the US Open.

We are judging rory based on two competitions that he has never played and for a reason. They are not suited to his game
These two comps will stand to him

Are they suited to De Chambeau, Thomas, DJ, Keopka?

I personally think he needs somebody to take charge of his career. Get him a great green reading caddie for starters.

The game is there but he isn't performing consistently enough at the big events. Putting seems a big part of that.

I don’t think Sergio meant other golfers just people in general who aren’t in any way careful or following guidelines such as those gathering in huge numbers at beeches, parks, etc.
Not a big Sergio fan but for once I actually think the comment wasn’t meant in the way it’s being portrayed

How are you the #1 golfer in the world but have courses that don't suit you?

What bits dont suit him? Hitting fairways, greens and holing putts?:rolleyes:

Surely you understand that certain courses suit some players better than others? I assume you are just trying to be unnecessarily awkward as usual

Thanks for the personal attack.

No, I happen to believe that if you are the best in the world at something, courses don't need to suit you.

Any chance you might answer the questions I posed? i.e. what about those courses didn't suit him? Golf is a pretty simple game, you try to get a ball into a hole 18 times. It's like saying that a certain soccer pitch doesn't suit a player, I franky think it's laughable.
Sure you might not play your best there, but you shouldn't struggle on any course.

Not soccer per say but I know a fella who has won multiple munster hurling championships and no all-irelands. He put it down to the fact that the pitch in Croke Park is 10 yards shorter than thurles, the turf is different and oddly the pitch slopes to each side for drainage purposes. So pitches do matter.

The opposition might have a bit more to do with it than the length or camber of the pitch.

All pro golfers pick and choose between the events and courses they play. McIlroy doesn't like (or usually play) Harbour Town. He was only there this time because the schedule was messed up.

Harrington doesnt/didnt like him
that tells allot

I still cant help but like the little brat
Think he will go well this week

Don't think this is the case, I think Harrington said in an interview before that the beef between the two of them was all in the media. some journalist mis-quoted Harrington. I could be wrong though.

Harrington did say a few times that there was tension between them for quite a while but that they're back on good terms again.
