Yea, even over the putt there

Delighted for Poults there, fantastic stuff. What an absolute battler, unreal.

Silly from Beau drawing a Picasso on the ball and being slow when it was all over anyway.

Sets up Masters like never before?

Yeah I've never looked forward to a Masters as much as this year. It's gonna be epic.

Great to see Poulter at the Masters. He brings a bit of colour and controversy.

Tom.D.BJJ

He barely kept his tour card last year. Now he has it locked in for a few more years. Such a gritty bastàrd

Last night brought back memories of Padraig's win in the Honda Classic. Long clutch birdie putt on the 72nd hole to force a playoff against relatively unknown opponent, who then finds water during the playoff.

I wonder will Hossler bounce back from this as successfully as Daniel Berger has done.

jayo26

Delighted with the finish last night I never was a fan of his until I seen him play in the Ryder cup the man has so much passion for the support he brings character to it that so many others fail to do.

In the same boat as everyone else never before do i remember a masters with so many high profile players coming back into form golf is in a great place this season long may it continue.

Poulter’s five birdies over the final five holes of his Saturday fourball match at Medinah was one of the greatest performances I’ve seen on a golf course.

He laid the foundation for the Miracle at Medinah; there was precedent for coming back from 10-6 down (Brookline)...11-5 wouldn’t have been a runner.

vienne86

Delighted for Poulter - great determination to get back to 29 in the world rankings I'd love to see him in the Ryder Cup in France this year.

eagle eye

Gotta say I've never really been a fan of Poulter but credit where it is due. The birdies on 18 to take it to a playoff was clutch.

Panrich

Just watching early coverage on Sky there and the two american commentators are good fun in my view (or it's just the change).

Anyone suggest a good Android app for pga leaderboard? The official one on the website is so slow and painful. Had the official app for the masters last week, have to say it was excellent. Reminded me how crap the pga one is!

AFAIK all the other apps take their data from the pga app so they're all likely to be slow. I use flashscore myself, find it pretty good.

Me too, I use Flashscore for a few sports, but it all depends on where these apps get their feed.

Satoshosi Kodaira won the Heritage Classic, 66 Today and won at the 3rd playoff hole. He gets a 2 year exemption, PGA tour status, and the winners cheque. Couldn't beat an amateur in the Perth matchplay a couple of months ago. Beat Si Woo Kim, who was a nervous wreck on the greens

What the hell happened Poulter in the back 9?

The way the commentary was going on you’d swear he was a nobody. The bloke is ranked 46 in world and will be higher tomorrow

Putted badly and went in the water on a par 3, +5 for the back nine

Didn't play like a nobody, sure he's worried what the CBS golf bandwagonners think of him, a lot of nobody's on the coverage, its the one thing gets me every week, they are only comfortable with Dustin Jordan Rory Tiger or any of their first name buddies contending.

SW Kim had an absolute disaster on the greens today. Woefully bad statistically all year in shots lost on the field in putting but this was extra bad.Missed 5/6 putts by some distsnce from inside 10 ft over the closing holes to win the tournament. Held a 2 shot lead going up the par 5 15th hole and basically threw it away. Looked terrified over the putts and this is the guy who won the players championship less than 9 months ago. He's not a nobody !
Next week on to the Valero Texas open , without seeing a confirmed field for Thursday I'm moving towards Tony Finau as a decent outsider (assuming he plays) . Playing well at present and showed up well at the master's despite the "ankle" issue he caused himself plus has good course form from last year.

I don't think I ever seen a worse putting performance from a pro than si woo Kim on the back 9 today. And to make things worse he got a 2 stroke penalty on Friday.

Tee to green he was quality and if he even becomes an average putter he will be some player

Some of his iron play was stunning. I guess it would have to be with putting like that.

On the web.com tour which is the main gateway tour onto the PGA Tour, slow play is causing havoc in this week's event at a windy Newburgh in Indiana this weekend. There is a group that just completed a two ball in 4 hours and 59 minutes! Seriously this is just ridiculous and the tour organizers need to speak to the entire field about their obligations as pro golfers. Shot penalties are the only way that players will speed up play. However the US tour are so poor at enforcing play to speed up so I won't hold out hope at all. For any group to complete a round in 5 hours is bad enough. But for a two-ball to do just that is a serious new low for professional golf.

Couldn’t agree more with you, but unfortunately there’s absolutely zero appetite to deal with it. No matter how bad it gets they’ll trot out the usual mitigating excuses - it was windy, the greens were quick, the greens had slopes, the pins were tucked, there’s a lot of money on the line, they weren’t out of position, bla, bla, bla.
Maybe it’s because if they cut 30 mins off a round on the tour it’s less advertising dollars for TV companies.

I watched it last night and it was shocking.

280 par 4 and the lads were taking 40 minutes to play it.

Pacing out a 20yrd uphill chip and then looking at it for 5 minutes.
Screw you Maverick, Goose would be disgusted.

Sicily? Yeah for sure!

I'm desperate to give Crans-Sur-Sierre in Switzerland a go! Always love watching the Omega Masters for the views alone.

Jordan Spieth 3 putts from 6 feet on the 10th for bogey, then hits it in the water on the par 5 11th and makes bogey, then drives to par 4 12th to 10 feet and makes eagle. Level par after 3.

AGC

Bogey bogey eagle double bogey

He’s all over the shop

kiers47

He has missed 3 cuts in a row here.
He doesn't tend to play well here apart from a decent showing in 2014.

So expect more of this id imagine

Mantis Toboggan

Speith just loves the water. Really really poor.
