Tartan Dave Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Cam Smith is a top fecking boy! £15 ew and £10 on nose @ 25’s. Only seen last few holes today due to work but what an incredible back 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 I regard Rory McIlroy the same way I regard Andy Murray - even if they never win another tournament, they could walk away from their careers with their heads held high. Not just for their individual majors / grand slams, but for their Ryder Cups / Olympics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Delighted that Smith done it, not just because he won me money or because he’s a superb golfer but he seems like genuinely decent, humble guy. If I’m being honest the Rory wankfest the last couple of days from the usual Twitter crowd (No Laying Up, I’m looking at you) and the pundits had me really rooting against him today. Hopefully he gets back on the major train at some point, preferably when McGinley has chucked the punditry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Dave Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Most likely off to liv. That one hurts a little. Always gave the impression of not being so interested in the cash 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always gave the impression of not being so interested in the cash That would be a big one but with him being an Aussie perhaps not a shock. Now he's won a major as well he has a 5 year exemption for them all as well which might make the decision that bit easier. Definitely a blow for the PGA Tour though. Stenson seems likely to be announced also which is a tad embarrassing for the European Tour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the whole I like Rory but the media coverage is ridiculously biased in his favour. Often even at the expense of the English players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresome to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worked in golf for over 20 years mate. Amazingly enough you do meet professional golfers. All the time. Americans often bring their club pro as it happens. It's not that I'm a fantasist, it's just you don't know anything about golf. You're a fucking lunatic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Very much after the man event, but the final round of the Barracuda Championship is underway at Tahoe.It's a modified stableford system, 8 points for albatross, 5 points for eagle, 2 for birdie, 0 for par, -1 for bogey, -3 for double bogey or worse.Martin Laird currently 2nd, 5 points behind Chez Reavie. Scott Jamieson is T25th, another decent result for him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albertlegend Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 I don't dislike Mcilroy, always think he seems really good when he talks, loving his stand against the LIV tour but because of Laura Davies and Paul Mcginley and Sky in generals complete Rory love in I found myself thinking anyone but Rory! Except DJ and his LIV tour buddies! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Tremendous round from Cam yesterday, he's a man who has the mental side of the game down at the moment, and his putting and is outrageous. Rory on the other hand hasn't had that down for a long time and always has at least 1 round that lets him down, usually at crunch moments. I'm sure he'll get it back some day but the longer this run goes on the more it'll affect that side of the game. I'd be really disappointed if Smith went to LIV. He has the world at his feet right now and that just feels like a short sighted decision. Hopefully that answer was just because he was annoyed to be asked but if you're not interested in it then it's the easiest thing to deny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harding said at the Scottish last week that he hadn't signed a contract with LIV. There has to be a real fear though that with the majors done for the year then a fresh spate of defections could follow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Laird finished 3rd in the Barracuda. Alex Noren was runner up after his last minute trip across the Atlantic, so at least it was worth his while.I sacked it when they still had about 6 holes left. It's a great result for Laird as it lifts him to 98th on the FedEx and all but guarantees him his card for next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
