Phenomenal stuff from Hatton he's had a great year so far.

It is really uncouth and intrusive there the camera sticking its nose in on Hatton being congratulated by his aul pair.

Sky Sports are such a gang of shight for brains, their coverage is appalling. Too many adds and then showing me live coverage of some lad having a private convo with his parents.

He won it handy and fair play to him, but give him a few minutes peace and privacy to speak to his Mum and Dad. It is ridiculous carry on.

Hatton 3 ahead on the 71st and still moaning because he didn’t hole from off the green. He’s a pain in the hole.

Was a good podcast this week. They seemed to think the European tour was in danger of folding altogether. I hope it doesn't but its hard for it to compete against the PGA tour.

Was it 1 in the top 30 of the OWGR in Scotland this week? and its meant to one of the big comps on the tour.

Fleetwood, World Number 17, although that was prior to the tournament so he may move up slightly after it.

Last week. From what I've heard only 4 Rolex events next year and the Irish open has been dropped. Think the off the ball lads had it.

Fair comment and they did well to have it anywhere. The reduced prize fund was a big factor too.

As Toby Tree said the only difference between it and the challenge tour events there was they got a steak after the round last week

Holding it on a mediocre parkland venue on the way to nowhere didn't help either.

But I wouldn't read too much into it. Everything is weird this year. At least it was held - unlike the Open.

Just another sad reflection that all this Covid crap we have to live with is not short term, it will be measured in years

If they've reduced that's because of the ongoing situation and conservative planning. At least it wasnt intended, thatd be a far bigger blow

One of the problems is that the Irish Open currently is without a sponsor.
With the airports and airlines in a slump it is unlikely that Dubai Duty Free are going to sponsor it again next year.

Well the prize money hasn't been as low for an Irish open since 96 I think. Compare that with the Scottish this week of 7 million.

Irish open in big trouble going forward now that it's no longer a Rolex tournament.

I wasnt aware the money had dropped.

That's just a one off though? Was still big prize money and a Rolex in the original schedule for Mount Juliet? Galgorm was just a last minute thing to fill the calendar.

Not just McDowell, Westwood, Poulter, Willett, Fleetwood. No names bothered with the Irish open this year. What was the reasoning for that.

Why would they. US Open previous week, Irish Open then Scottish and PGA Championship the following 2 weeks which are 7,000,000 each.

Do you expect them to play for 1.25 mil? 1st prize this week will be nearly the fund last week.

Slightly surprised and a bit disappointed with seeing that Graeme McDowell, on the entry list for next week's Scottish Open. Which begs the question? Why is he playing in the Dominican Republic, albeit as defending champion, rather than playing in Galgorm castle? Surely your national open, trumps over playing anywhere on the PGA Tour this week, especially as you are travelling thousands of miles (well over 6,000 miles to be precise) to play in Scotland, starting next Thursday. That journey would have been far far more easier if he did play in Galgorm, but he feels differently though.

I was genuinely supportive of Graeme's intentions of playing in the Dominican Republic rather than in the North this week. But after seeing him put his name forward for to play in Scotland next week, I'm sure there are quite a lot of golf fans in Northern Ireland rather cheesed off, about him skipping his home open and playing in a poor event likewise in the Caribbean island this week.

Will be quite interested in what posters think about Graeme's rather "interesting" schedule, to put it mildly.

No real discussion of Scottish Open.

I noticed Lucas Herbert following up a good IO performance this week as Zanotti.

Also, Harrington hanging around near the cut,.

I've been really impressed Westwood over the past couple of months, I think he could go well in Augusta, 5 Top 10s there since 2010.

Trophy inscriber certainly hoping Jazz doesn't win. Double bogey wont help though

Mantis Toboggan

Course looking very nice, greens excellent. Great to see the sun out and no wind for the Irish open.
