peasy23 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 He hit a couple of good shots down the first to get McGinley's hopes up but as soon as he missed the putt a round like this was almost inevitable. It's getting to the point where he should barely even be considered a contender these days. If he ends up level par today then it's not a bad round in isolation, but in the context of the tournament when the guys around you are 3 or 4 under then it's not much good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks more like he couldn't care less really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 When is the first window again? I've done well out of 3 or 4 players but the rest of them haven't got near contending to date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I love the way one of Morikawa's team threw him his Rolex just as his post round interview was about to start. Clearly a contractual obligation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as well as MacIntyre has done so far, it's worth remembering that Hovland and Morikawa are both around the same age as him. What Hovland has achieved is fantastic but Morikawa has been incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mates and I used to have discussions about what the ones to win (and play in tbh) really were. Those two would definitely be in there. My list would be: Ryder Cup The Open The Masters US Open US PGA Scottish Open (as a Scotsman, substitute for the player's national Open as a non-US player, or major event in their state for a US player) The Players Bay Hill (Arnold's tournament) The Memorial (Jack's tournament) PGA at Wentworth WGC Matchplay AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach Dubai Desert Classic The Phoenix Open (for the 16th alone) and the Alfred Dunhill Links would be there or thereabouts as well. Decent career if you do well in those competitions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Hovland has achieved is fantastic but Morikawa has been incredible.Huge difference between being an amateur in the US college system and coming through in Europe. I know Robert did a year at McNeese but it's nowhere near the same as doing the full 4 years like Hovland and Morikawa both did, and at universities with massively funded sports programmes. They were effectively pro and would have been able to practice and play in a completely different manner to Bob, who had to turn pro earlier to try and make money and get his full tour card. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distant Doonhamer Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Played yesterday. Putted abysmally and lost 5&4. Played again today and came back from 3 down with 4 to play to win. Sounds like a great recovery but my opponent 3 putted from 7 or 8 feet on 15th and 16th. Two nice pars for me on 17 and 18 to win. Stupid game [emoji23] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10menwent2mow Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Shot 69 on Sunday. -3. 6 birdies and 3 bogeys, missed 2 or 3 very good chances apart from the 6 birdies. Course is maybe playing a couple of hundred yards shorter than it normally does off the yellow tees but I'd say it's still well over 5,500 yards so not too shabby playing off of 5. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 **Fantasy Golf Week 8** (long)Iron(s)Man In a week that may be the 1st in the post Tiger era after the worrying events earlier in California, Collin Morikawa staked his claim to be his successor after a peerless display of iron play reminiscent of the Cat in his prime. He now ranks alongside Woods as the only pair to claim both a Major and a WGC before the age of 25. He left Hovland, Koepka and Scheffler in his wake, but those 3 will take heart that they coped well with the difficult green complexes at The Concession in the run up to the Masters. It proved to be a popular venue, so let's hope we see more of it in the future. An emotional Brandon Grace won the battle of the jobbers in Puerto Rico. We have a new leader this week. Morikawa's win propels @die hard doonhamer to the top of the rankings, in what is threatening to become a two horse race. The chasing pack have bunched up behind after a poor week for a couple of teams. Standings 598 (105) @die hard doonhamer 595 (81) @J_Stewart 503 (62) @lichtie23 497 (24) @Ro Sham Bo 484 (105) @Tartan Dave 476 (30) @alta-pete 443 (93) @peasy23 435 (57) @Purple Bricks 346 (42) @Distant Doonhamer 312 (110) @Henderson to deliver ..... 279 (105) @Honest_Man#1 We head to Arnie's place next for the great man's Invitational at the deceptively named Bay Hill. A favoured tour stop for many years, it's a typical PGA Florida course. Flat, long, with raised greens, Bermuda grass, sand and plenty water. Usually one of the toughest venues on tour, last years winner Tyrrell Hatton was one of only 4 to finish under par and it tends to favour non Americans, only 2 Yanks have won here since 2006. A stones throw from Disneyland, this this is no Mickey mouse test (see what I did there) and a nice wee addition to anyone's CV. A top class field will all be looking to slip on the coveted *checks notes* red cardigan. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
