Awesome putt to finish Rosey!

He won't sleep for a week thinking about that tee shot. What a muppet.

 

The 2021 Masters purse is again set at $11.5 million for the third straight year. The third-place finisher will receive as much as the entire field did when Jack Nicklaus won the 1986 Masters.

I don't think the money will change the feeling of a top professional throwing away the chance to win the masters.

Well done Hideki 

[kingfox]

Congrats to Hideki.

 

Shame Xander only made it exciting for one hole, then decided to fvck it

Only ever bet small time for a bit of fun on The Masters. £ each way on Rose, Matsuyama, Reed, Hatton and Simpson so doing OK this far.

 

Let my kids pick a player each, they've gone for Matt Jones and Jim Herman.

£63.60 back from £14, happy with that for another year. Already withdrawn it 😄

Surprised its Japan's first major winner considering the amount of golf played over there.

[tom27111]

The Sky commentator annoyed me when he said "The first Asian major winner".

 

He said it right after the winning putt.

 

No. YE Yang won the PGA about 15 years ago.

Rory has a chance to get back in the winners circle tonight if he plays solid. He's won at Quail Hollow twice before so that should give him confidence.

 

Horses for courses

He’s going well thru 7, hope he can do it

Nice win Rory!

[Izzy]

G'won Rors. Now go and win the PGA in a few weeks 

[kingfox]

First Spieth, now Rory returning back to form, good to see, great for Golf.

[Izzy]

Bonus Walker Cup on now.

 

US should win easy from here but good to see all the young un's trying to perform under pressure.

More emotion on an emotional day. Richard Bland wins his first European title in 478 starts at the age of 48. Absolutely thrilled for him

Any bets/tips on the PGA Championship this week?

 

Kiawah playing the longest course in major history, last time it was played there, it seemed to favour the accurate drivers and the better scramblers. 
 

I’m kind of edging towards Webb Simpson, Abraham Ancer and Brian Harman, their stats are favourable and their records on Pete Dye courses are decent.

 

There’s a few others that I’m unsure on.

 

Who’s everyone else thinking?

Jason Kokrak wins this at 100-1.

 

You're welcome.

Well Bryson is a decent boom + scramble merchant. 

 

I saw he hit it 368 yds carry in a tournament the other day. 

 

[goody2028]

Gone for Fitzpatrick EW this week, no idea why just a hunch at 55/1. 
 

[skolfoxes]

I've gone for Hovland, Burns and Homa, Burns and Homa fairly long odds but both have been in good form this season.

 

Also gone for Bryson to miss the cut, mainly because I want it to happen rather then becuase I particulaly think he will.

This Kiawah Island golf course is evil today.

Anyone golfers on here currently playing One Length clubs? 

 

I want to get back into golf after a few years of not playing much and have decided to replace my 16 year old clubs. The one length stuff intrigues me as surely its much simpler to hit one set swing every time. 

 

P. S. These strong jacked lofts nowadays are crazy. 27 deg for a 7 iron.... That's a 5 iron in my old set!

Their stats let me down, thank fvck I don’t bet 

[goody2028]

Looks like Justin Thomas could miss the cut at +6. Would loved to have seen the odds on that before the first tee off.

Don't recall any talk about Big Phil or Oosty pre tourney.
