Quite remarkable how the original 10 million prize was structured.
 

Yes but according to the Liv jobbers the uspga doesn't look after those at the top.Westwood having a rant yesterday about the changes forgetting he had made $24mill on it

Nightmare start for Bob as he double bogeys his first hole to drop back to level par.

He’s been pretty average this season tbh. It’s understandable with the money and the ranking points boost you get, but I wonder if heading on to the PGA Tour for a few events so quickly after coming through was the best idea. He seemed to lose some momentum that he had been building up and never really got the tournament wins behind him that he should have.

If you look at his performances in run of the mill events he's been no better, and in a some cases worse, than his Scottish contemporaries over the last 18 months. The thing that set him apart was his performance in the majors but he now has a load of work to do to qualify for any of those now so he needs to concentrate on the DP Tour and string some results together. 

Unlikely to be this week though as he looks set to miss the cut.

Don't think anybody would have thought at the start of the season that if there were 4 Scots in the top 40 of the DPWT rankings that Bob wouldn't be one of them.

I can understand why he went to the US last year, but he's gone from being in the top 50 this time last year to 109th. He was interviewed on course today after hitting a screamer to set up an eagle chance (which he missed), he seems to be happy enough. He did comment though that he's not one of the fittest guys out there, and maybe that's something he does have to work on.

He's got 4 holes to play in the morning and needs to play them in at worst two under par.

Had an evening tee at Leven Links for the first time last night. Really enjoyed it, nice warm night and it had rained just before we teed off so there was a nice zip about the greens and fairways. 

The signature hole is the 18th and it is pretty spectacular, a long par 4 with a raised green above a water hazard right in front of the clubhouse.
