But it only started in January

So he is nowhere on both lists

It started in September 2019 but was stopped again in March 2020. So around 6 months of qualifying was completed before it restarted in January

Saw Dustin Johnson clattered a guy with a drive earlier. Wasn't far off line, but assume they could see the person

No sound on the clip I saw, but I hope they shouted fore. DJ absolutely planted him

Just checked there and now is 15x and will be 2x come May

So lots play for

Bryson looking a bit slimmer this year. He must have decided to go for leaner muscle rather than bulk.

There were rumours (No Laying Up) - that he was not feeling well. It had been suggested that the bulking up was making him feel physically ill, headaches etc.

I guess the first thing he would be asked medically would be - what are you eating and drinking ? Anything unusual ?

"Yes - 14.63 L of protein drinks"

His diet last year was crazy. Couldn't have been good for the liver and kidneys.

6,000 calories.

Double normal intake.

He has been doing a huge amount of training with Kyle Berkshire, the long drive number 1 who himself is leaner than Bryson. He might be taking more of a leaf out of his book.

I saw his third shot on that hole, had assumed he had laid up for whatever reason, especially with Fox on the green. This is much better!

Great leaderboard

Everything about that course looks so artificial. Even the colour of the grass looks fake. The official prize fund is also fake. There is no way the big names would be playing in a tournament with a total prize fund of a paltry $3m or so.
It makes you wonder how motivated some of these big names are when they are probably getting more money to turn up than they would for winning.

Artificial or not it looks a class course.

Ranking and Ryder Cup points.

Many courses in desert states like Nevada and Arizona are just as "artificial".

He really laid that up to a good yardage

Bill Ponderosa

Poor putt from DJ there for birdie.

He's operating on such a level at present, if he told you as much, you couldn't doubt him.

In fairness a million would get most out of bed, all expenses paid etc.
At least he did something last year - I'd love Rory to say something - because he tends to actually be a little controversial (and interesting he isn't there, because I'd say a big offer was made)

Thing that does my head in - is how they have such strong views on certain things - then when it comes to killing journalists , women's rights, human rights - they are all using words like - "things are changing" - " spread of the game".

I'd be fairly disappointed with the Irish lads over there too. You'd expect daft stuff from the like of Poulter (and his daft flashiness) etc. But the Irish lads offer fairly strong opinions on right and wrong on certain other things. Likes of Paddy in particular. Offers an opinion on anything. Golfers in general - seem a bit brainless to be honest. Harsh - lacking moral conviction is a better way to put it (a Dunphyisim).

At the end of the day - none of them should be in this position. It is from the top. The tour have gone a route that is unacceptable. And the game is not spreading with this rubbish, they have damaged the tour in Europe. This is very damaging for the image of the game - and the CEO has a very serious responsibility in that regard , particularly when the game is trying to improve image.

Yes they are following quick money - but at what long term impact for the tour (IN EUROPE).

I'd rather a European Tour that actually stands for something as opposed to this head in the desert stuff.

A GAA friend of mine - said "what would you expect from golf". "It has zero morals and they are all Trump supporters in US." "Their track record in human rights is terrible" "golf is just about segregation world wide"

That's funny because at my club -a large majority of members are players , ex-players or supporters of the GAA and I imagine the same would be true of many rural clubs in particular.
I must try to steer clear of moral contamination !:D

Handy enough win in the end for DJ. Just playing on a different planet to the rest at the moment. Just supreme confidence.

Deeper Blue

DJ is ridiculous, I don't think he even got out of second gear all week.

Deeper Blue

Watching the Austrian Open here, went to a playoff between John Catlin and Max Kieffer. It's after going to the 5th playoff hole, nothing in it, and then Kieffer puts 3 balls in the water.

3 wins in 13 starts for Catlin, I'd forgotten that he won the Irish open last year.

eagle eye

Catlin is a tough nut, the bunker shot on the 4th playoff hole and holing his birdie putt after Kieffer holed a long one show massive steel.

I’ve not watched much European golf lately so never heard of yer man. The worst finishing hole I’ve ever seen on the pga/European tour. He’s obviously won 3 times and fair play to him. To me, when I first tuned in and saw him set up at address & saw his swing, I thought he was a 16 handicapper.

Again he’s obviously class winning 3 times, he just doesn’t look it.

Most people have forgotten that there was an Irish Open last year.

Interesting that Wiesberger didn’t play his home open!

Just a pity that he didn't score a 9 somewhere. Then he would have had everything from a 1 to a 10 over the 4 rounds
