    Really interesting talk on the philosophical side of golf and his game here:



    Well worth a listen, informative and even comical despite the grating voice that is uniquely Padraig's.

    Great link, thanks. But I don't find the voice grating. I could listen to him forever.

    Have to say he always gives a good interview
    His news conference at AT&T on PGA tour app is worth a view
    Sorry cant figure how to link it
    Nice start -2


    Thanks for that, had a look he's funny alright, tbh it's great to see I don't know if its me or what but he seems to be getting more respect this year or something (even in boards) the tv commentary was a bit jokey/laughy sometimes as they discussed him in the last couple of years. Great to see pundits giving him more respect that he deserves IMHO.

    looks like he is coming up out of the majority of his putts, especially from inside 5 feet.

    He hasn't missed inside 5 feet according to the PGA stats, leading average of 100%!

    Yes even though it's the most difficult of the 3 courses it was disappointing to finish on par after being -3 after 10.

    Here is the breakdown of the 56 players at -2 or better

    Lot of truth in that, unfortunately. But I haven't lost the faith.

    This week or all season? Maybe so but his stroke does not inspire confidence. Watch his head closely, it starts to move following the ball a split second after he makes contact with the putter.

    Not out of this event yet. Plays the easiest of the 3 courses today. Hes 80/1 with the bookies currently. He was 80s at the same stage last week and played in the final group on sunday. Needs a similar saturday to last week. If he shoots 6/7 under today he will be right in it. The scores arent ridiculous this week with conditions tough. Fingers crossed.........

    According to the stats he has hit every fairway and green so far and has just 3 putted for his first bogey. So much for me commenting on his putting! Struggling to make the cut now.

    13 putts after 6 holes. Not good. Hopefully, it will pick up from here.

    Hope he can have a good result this coming weekend at the Northern Trust Open but unfortunately, his record at this course is fairly dire with his last decent result being a T-3rd back in 2008.

    Am I right that Padraig will face GMac in the first round of the matchplay assuming Mickelson doesnt go?

    McDowell is 19 but will move to 18th seed and Harrington would be 47th.

    So two all Irish matches in the first round.

    That appears to be the case alright!!

    I would imagine there will be another person pull out due to injury though which might mess up our all Irish encounters!! Tbh while it'll be great for the first round, i would love to see them all meet at Semi's stage!!

    The seedings are based on next Mondays rankings so it will most likely change with both playing at Riviera this week.

    I didnt realise that either. So why are people saying Lowry is in already?
    Nobody closely below him playing this week?

    I think that qualification is based on this week's rankings, but seedings are adjusted for any change in rankings between this week and next week.

    But what happens if someone outside the top 64 get in then, are they just disregarded and the 64 seeds are drawn in the position they finish even though they could be ranked 66th etc? The way i calculated it Harrington will face Schwartzel which is not good news. Anyone know for definite how it works?

    players will move to fill the seeding gaps, so at the moment everyone below Phil would move up 1 place. So its 64 v 1, 63 v 2, 62 v 3 etc
    Whats Schwartzels ranking?
