    He actually didn't hand in his card today, trusty old NR...saving himself for the Captains Prize I'd say

    Sky Sports headline after the third round of the Soudal Open:

    "Donald seven back after third round 65"

    Doesn't say much about what Sky think of the lads a bit closer to the lead. If I were leading I'd be fairly insulted 😂

    Paul McGinley to become Strategic Adviser to the 2025 European Ryder Cup Team

    At least we won’t have to suffer him on comms now but really does it need all these back room people. Top golfers in the world shouldn’t need half the people

    Gary Hurley second on the Challenge Tour, wins just under €30k and up to 18th in the Challenge Tour standings. Good to see him playing well after some tough times.

    Shocking stuff, you'd have to feel for him. Hard to believe he once beat McIlroy in a playoff

    Soderberg looked like a superstar in the making when he first arrived on the tour but he's blown it many times since then. Super consistent golfer but he's got a huge problem in the fourth round too often for it just being unlucky.

    Reed could have entered the Italian Open under Category 1, the same as Danny Willet - 'Winners of the Race to Dubai Rankings in Partnership with Rolex and Majors'. Both of them are US Masters champions.

    In the Entry List (link below), Reed lists his club as 'Carlton Woods CC'. Considering he is a major winner, it's strange that there is no mention of him on the club website.

    would he have to pay the fines though to get in? Invite probably gets around it

    Crazy how it's going. Some collapse from those on top. Would get him an Open invite too I think?

    Certainly helps with Siem in meltdown mode, could almost guarantee his PGA tour card for 2025.

    You'd have to give Siem credit for pulling off those birdies. Still a fine day for mckibben

    Nice pay day too, despite not winning he actually got approx €20k more than for his win last year. Took home €334,000 so nice weeks work.

    Funny story too about his caddy today, they were so sure he wouldn't be featuring the caddy was already gone to the train station and they had to call him back when Siem starting to hit the bogey run

    Good to see Siem get the win, great character. McKibben will get plenty wins down the line by I'm sure

    One of the most impressive things about McKibben to me is his ability to finish highly on his poorer weeks. Even when not playing his best stuff he still manages to pull himself into a Top 25 finish

    Spotted that today. Seamus Power nudging in the wrong direction, unfortunately.

    McKibben has a great shot at getting a PGA tour card for next season. He's 8th in R2D rankings and 5th on Top 10 for PGA exemption. A win or a few good finishes could jump someone outside the top 20 very quickly. Lots of golf still to play and plenty of events with big points. Hopefully, he can keep the hammer down.

    Final qualifying for The Open is on today. 4 venues with 4 places available at each. It is very early stages but there is at least 1 Irish player currently in the top 4 at each venue.

    Kearney going well atm. Abraham Answer leading at his venue and Rose is also tied with Kearney.

    Galway amateur Liam Nolan has almost certainly qualified for The Open. He is currently in tied 2nd and I don't think there are enough players left on the course that can overtake him.

    No luck for the remaining Irish.
