Think it needs some EPL level marketing from the commentators to get me excited. Should still be a decent run in, like leishman and smith They're starting to look a bit ragged now after cruising through the front nine. At the moment my money's on the South Africans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I’ve actually never heard of this. Only been watching golf outside majors for about 18 monthsIt was a WGC event at one time. Think the problem was it was limited to just one team per country, which wouldn't sit well with the Yanks. Monty and Marc Warren won it for Scotland back in the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Two bogeys at the 17th from the faltering leaders. Pity the last is a par five as Uhlein and Werenski would fancy their chances otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan Dave Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 It might not end up mattering here, but I really hate when the playoff repeats holes. 18,18,9,9 here. Why not go four diff holes 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple weeks ago in euro tour they played the same hole 5x. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was last week in Austria, I'm sure there was a sponsors area next to the 18th green even though there wasn't an actual crowd, they just kept playing the 18th so they could watch it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing the same hole 5x is ridiculous. Anything more than 1x is a bit much for me as an armchair fan, but 3,4,5 is just silly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
