peasy23 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 An opening 69 for Tiger at Riviera closing with 3 birdies, he's 5 behind Homa. The big challenge now is the late finish and early start for him with cool weather forecast for tomorrow. Also, as if anyone needs reminding, Ian Poulter is a c**t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlo Stanfield Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Tiger still has it. Outdriving Rory and JT on one and a half legs. It's unlikely he'll win again at this level but he's got at least one big run at a green jacket left in him imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC he followed Tiger as the US Amateur champion, which is the only reason I remember he's in his mid 40s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Hard to argue with this tbh, Bob played well at the Hero Cup, but his best finish of the year so far was 20th. He missed the cut last weekend and made it through right on the cut line in Thailand today. I don't think he has recaptured any sort of consistent form since he played 4 or 5 tourneys in the US towards the end of summer in 2021, when he missed most of the cuts. I think his confidence took a battering then and he has struggled to get it back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Complete opposite of yesterday's finish for Tiger as he bogeys 3 of his last 4 holes. That leaves him on +1 and a shot outside the cut, but he will probably make the weekend as their is a good chance that the cut line will move in his favour. Also a good time to point out that West Coast tourneys are shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Sunset is around 5.30 pm, but the biggest problem is the two starting holes. The first is a reachable par 5, the 10th a driveable par 4, lots of groups haven't even started on time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DP World Tour might face more guys like him leaving, he is 34th in the world but he was complaining on Twitter how that isn't high enough to get an invite to Riviera this week. When you look at the strategic alliance it's a shitshow for European players in regards to how owgr points are awarded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another good week for Grant Forrest, at least, who ended up tied 13th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only watched the first episode on Netflix, and having just read this review, here’s my take on it. The reviewer strikes me as being like an NME music journalist back in the day who would like ‘cool’ bands like Cocteau Twins or early R.E.M, and their boss just told them to review the new album by Status Quo. As a golf fan, I didn’t particularly think Spieth or Thomas came over as p***ks or anything like it. They were never going to be like Verstappen or Hamilton in ‘Drive to Survive’, where the sport is played out at 200mph with teams lead by guys like Horner & Wolff battling it out as well as the drivers themselves. Golf is very much an individual sport, played at a slow pace, by guys who aren’t going to wipe each other out at a chicane and literally risk life and limb. The thrust of the ‘Spieth & Thomas’ opening episode was that they came up through the ranks together, are friends, but Spieth achieved more success than his friend, and the show showed that dynamic. I thought both of them came across as being OK guys - albeit guys who have a jet-set lifestyle, rank rotten ‘lad banter’ and anecdotes that are cringeworthy in the extreme. I agree with the reviewer on that. However, were they any worse than let’s say, footballers? ‘Oh aye, Vinnie Jones was a lad. I remember the time he took a pair of scissors to Dennis Wise’s new jacket and cut the sleeves off’. Looking forward to how the series plays out. I know they are rich kids playing a non-contact sport, I know their anecdotes will be shite, but I find it enjoyable to see something different about golf and golfers. The guy who wrote that review simply was never going to like the new Status Quo album before even hearing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Connolly Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I've always believed that Jordan Spieth is one of life's good guys, and that hasn't changed by watching Full Swing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
