    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Every event since no fans sky have done this with the winner, it's a thing and not intrusive at all. They set it up.

    What difference is it to the cameras being in the face of as players kid running onto the green to celebrate when times allow?

    I find it a bit cringe and awkward. Not sure what's the point of it.

    Did you cringe when Shane Lowry's dad was hugging him in Portrush?

    What has that got to do with it, he was there in portrush. If they had got his family on an awkward Skype call I'd have felt the same.

    No player or their family will object to TV coverage, including how they celebrate winning a tournament.

    Harrington gave an entertaining interview. Says his golf tips are drawing a good audience. Aimed at the casual golfer and everyone should be able to get to a single figure handicap.

    They seemed to have helped his own game. I love them I must admit. I'm a big fan of Paddy in general though. One of the good guys.

    Sky seem to be in love with Matt Wallace.

    You'd swear he was a multi time major winner the way they go on about him. He's won 4 average (at best) euro tour events and nothing more.

    I'd say they were sick that he didn't win today, outclassed by Otaegui who put on an iron and wedge clinic.

    Remember Andrew "Beef" Johnston? They hit on a form british player, hype him up until the next one comes along. Not surprising.

    He beat beef in a playoff in India, beef absolutely chucked it away, Wallace is a nothing player, loads of English journeymen on the scene, Ross Fisher and Andy Sullivan are two who come to mind, Wallace will end up like them two. Poulter is a journeyman as well, but he is a Ryder Cup hero.

    Wallace is super player, top 50 in the world, 10 wins world wide already.
    Poulter 17 wins, top 50 player and Ryder cup legend, if these lads are journeymen then almost everyone else is.

    Bit harsh alright!


    As an aside, I only discovered recently that Bet365 have a live leaderboard on their site that has a shot tracker incorporated, handy for seeing whats actually happening on the course rather than scores just updating on the European Tour website. Seems strange that a betting site is willing and able to have the shot tracker but the Tour itself have nothing?

    "poults" is the most overrated sky hype job in history. Remember his big talk about him being up there with tiger when on his game.. 1 tournament win in the last 8 years is the very definition of journeyman.

    Wallace is a different level altogether.
