So, two putt for the card?
Sky Sports are useless, why no live model for the Tour cards?
It said he'll go above Smith as projected, I don't see what else can impact the rankings as everyone on course is ahead of him/not going for card bar Rozner which is accounted in Mckibbon only taking last spot, Soderberg misses out too
A birdie on 18 for Svenson will cause him problems
Svenson was ahead of him coming into the week though. Or is it cos it'll split the money differently
Hes in by the skin of his teeth.
Svensons birdie pushed him.down to 11th this week which reduced his points haul for this week, but he has just stayed ahead of Smith
Great week for all 3 of the Irish lads.
Winning was important for Mcilroy considering what happened this summer and even subsequently in the Irish open and BMW PGA.
Shane can be satisfied with the Ryder Cup points picked up this week, while for Tom it is a whole new chapter of his career going to open up.
Exciting time for following the Irish golfers on tours next year.
It was like they were using pen and paper to calculate the points. Compared to pga tour and live stats it was amateur
I don't think they even wanted to talk about it much because they had no clue what was going on!
just adds to the drama.... 😜
You need over 1.1 million to keep your tour card on pga tour. Alex Fitzpatrick 40th in European tour with under a million earned. Some difference in rewards
I see Adrian Otaegui has changed nationality from Spain to UAE. Odd one. Presume he'll represent them at the Olympics now.
Great start of the season for Nolan on challenge tour. Well on his way for a tour card
Another good start for Liam in South Africa, 3 under par first round tied 5th. 39 under for 9 rounds, brilliant stuff.
McKibbin on the time sheet this week
I see he's tied for the lead now. Before going to LIV I'd have tried to watch the end of the comp if he was still in contention. Now I hope he collapses. The further down he tumbles the better.
Regardless of what people think of his decision to move to LIV it was a great round by Tom. Im sure it annoys the journeymen of the DP tour though to see this lad who has banked a few million already this year to turn up and eat their lunch.
No win for Tom. A run of bogey, par, bogey on par 4,5,5 run this race
🤣🤣🤣
Max Kennedy is -10 through 16 on the Challenge tour. The par is 70 so a birdie & a par needed for a 59. There are just 2 par 5s on the course and he eagled both of them.
Shot a 60 in the end. Dermot McElroy started 2 (eagle), 10.
I'm with you in this. I don't even watch the European tour anymore as it seems there's some of these cretins playing every week.
Hopefully he can go on and win, been ages since last time we had an Irish win on the European tour outside of Mcllroy or Lowry
Tom McKibbin 2 years ago, but I agree with the sentiment!
Garcia and Reed have got a line for bmw in Germany in a few weeks
Starts bogey, triple 🙄
Kennedy is into a playoff with James Morrison. Kennedy finished with a double bogey, Morrison had a bogey. Their final score of -6 makes the opening round of 60 more remarkable. Morrison has 2 wins on the European tour, albeit back in 2010 and 2015.
Unfortunately Kennedy bogeyed the playoff hole and loses to a par.
Hopefully better days to come for him. And young Tiernan after yesterday.
