Hopefully soon, the rain looks to have stopped.

Yes 10pm confirmed

Seamus Power has followed up last months win on the Web.com tour with top 10s in the last 2 events.
That moves him up to 6th on the money list with $168k. 162k was enough to earn a PGA Tour card last season.

I'd miss my own wedding for the chance to play at The Open.

unreal. maybe his only chance ever... who knows, but these opportunities don't come around all that often.

Foolish decision IMO

We arranged our own wedding date around her brother to make sure he would be there. We had to pick a week with no event on or else he would have missed the wedding. And he is only a caddy!!!!

Not quite the same situation, unless you had to change the date of your wedding a few weeks before it?

Also, some Americans don't see the Open as the be all and end all like we do. Billy Hurley more than most doesn't seem to see golf as being the only priority in his life.

Completely agree. Obviously he is a young guy but maybe this year could have been his only chance to ever play The Open.... and he turns it down... for his sister's wedding.

Think she might have been content with a rather bulky envelope instead.

Potential Underachiever

I was originally thinking that it was crazy to not play The Open but I can understand when you see what the family has been through in the last year or so, Hurley could be tasked with giving the bride away in the absence of the father for all we know, it will no doubt be an emotional day for the family, so I guess it is just a game at times to some people, rightfully so obviously.

Looks like DJ has closed out another big tournament. He's playing some golf at the moment and his 'weakness', his putting, is really looking like one of the strongest parts of his game now

mickmackey1

Same runner-up also!

bigtimecharlie

Poor finish by Day 4,7,4,5, when it was in his hands.

DJ played well but Day opened the door and in he walked.

fred funk }{

Day's driving has been dreadful.

bigtimecharlie

DJ is visiting these shores next week before Troon, wonder where?

Will be on the lookout.... for Mrs Johnson

Think he played Royal Dublin and Portmarnock the last time he was here.

mickmackmcgoo

Tiger and Mark o Meara and others used come every year about 10 or 15 years ago and play Waterville and Dooks and others. Wonder would he go to those

DJ hit 66 and 66 over the weekend tbh I think Day had been getting away with it in some respects although its hard to say when his scramblimg was so good it just near impossible to keep that up for so long.

I'd have to give DJ full credit for the win only one to put pressure on Day from behind.

Yep. Good friend of mine met him in Dublin The night before playing in royal dublin and dj asked him to caddy for him afterwards.

Jammy fecker. Wonder if DJ will look him up again

slave1

Don't think there's a PGA event before The Open so bound to be an increased chance of sightings over the coming days

First Up

The European Club usually gets a bit of business.

Tell me more! Who, what , why , where, when etc..... It would be an honour to carry DJ's bag and see him driving a ball up close...

Who :: I dont want to say his name, but there's a good few here who would know him quite well. He had a very good amateur career himself and is currently training to be a pro.
What :: My mate was drinking in the same bar as DJ, introduced himself and said he was a member in Royal Dublin. DJ said he was playing there and asked my mate to caddy for him.
Why :: That's the why
Where :: Think that's also covered in the what
When :: A week before the Open. Pretty much this time last year

It was an honour for him and an incredible experience.

Very lucky indeed, so he obviously accdepted Dj's offer to caddy! Do they clear a course out for a pro like that?, I'm very curious to how these things work, like today for example did DJ just rock up to the island and say he wants to play, back to your friend was it just DJ playing by himself or what sort of entourage did he have with him, did he tip his caddy, I'd imagine the tip was being able to carry his clubs!

Theses guys have loads of background people working with them. Somebody will be there to do all the planning. Though not always a lot of advance notice. So it could be a phone call a day or so before. I guess they would not want it getting out where there are going to be all the time. Courses will do whatever they have to in order to get a superstar playing there.

This is some round by Jim Furyk so far in the Travellers.
Twenty seven shots for the front nine and three birdies for the first three on the back.
Eleven under for his round after twelve holes

Holy smokes! Only a par 70 too, so pars in for a 59!

Rikand

Two pars for a 58!

Potential Underachiever

I'm a fan of Jim but of all players I'd pick to shoot 58 he'd be low down the list, he's normally steady, reliable etc not one for exploding like this, hope he does it.

LuckyGent88

Ridiculous stuff from furyk.

Myksyk

Mad that he has a putt for 57!

He has shot a 59 on tour before

And people say Tiger is too old to come back.

LuckyGent88

Misses the birdie for a 57 so has to console himself with a 58!!

Myksyk

Amazing.

sydthebeat

Some round!
Well done Jim

Myksyk

-11 for the 11 holes from the 2nd to the 12th.:eek:

Potential Underachiever

I regularly shot 20 under in Tiger Woods games years ago, so not exactly amazing by Jim. Still, a fair enough effort.

mickmackey1

That is history right there, take a bow Jim!

ronnie3585

Furyk said in his interview with Claude Harmon that there have been approx 1,500,000 rounds of golf on the PGA tour to date, and he's the only one with a 58. Amazing achievement.

paulie21

Jim had a 59 in the BMW championship in 2013. Only man to do two in the 50s. Fair play

Seve OB

If it's only a par 70 it's not a real 58 IMO. It's no different to Darren Clark's 60 at the par 72 KClub so let's not get to carried away.

Don't get me wrong though, it's still class.

Tilikum

It's crazy he was only -1 for his last 6 holes and still shot a 58.

Seve OB

PGA tour app is a bit mad on my phone. I can't drill into any scores and can't get shot tracker up. Pretty sure thatvused to work.

Also interesting that in all their news stories, not one about big Jim today.

Anyone else have similar issues. I'm on Android.

Less par 5's on a 70 track. I'd say it's pretty impressive

I think my record was 24 under around St Andrews.

Incredible round from Jim. 46? Just amazing. Happy for him. Seems like a very nice guy.

Makes sense, you could drive a lot of greens at St.Andrews Eagles galore.

Lucky lucky boy Russell Knox

Knox gets his second win of the year and moves into top20 in the world.

Really should get him on European Ryder cup team now.
