Akshay Bhatia had one 3 putt this week, and it was on the last hole and cost him a playoff with Cam Davis.

With Cam Young throwing his toys out of the pram also it was some finish....Rai really is terrible to watch his playing partner must be bored to death

You just know the Ryder Cup "Fan Song" tw*ts will be creaming themselves over options for Rai-based chants, only to end up with "2 gloves, He always wears 2 gloves"... 🙄

Young still looking for that first win and every time I've seen him in contention he has fallen apart. Yet he was only a shot away from a tie at The Open two years ago.

The last round of the US senior open is live now on sky due to weather yesterday and the Japanese boy that has been romping it has decided he wanted to bogey his first 4 holes and is now 1 shot back of Richard Bland if anybody is wfh or on a day off

Bland wins it on the 2nd sudden death play off hole after they were all tied after the 2 hole play off with a rather superb bunker shot

Thanks for the heads up on this. Just caught the very end of it. As you say what a bunker shot at the end. Great stuff.

Has there been a player that has had a more stellar "twilight" career following years of mediocrity than Bland?

A dictionary definition of Journeyman Pro for 20-odd years, finally breaks through in his late 40's and has now won the first 2 Senior Majors he's been eligible to play in.

He also uses iron covers.

If he wasn't a pro, he'd be the old arsehole in the corner of the clubhouse complaining about too many juniors on the course in the summer

Final qualifying for The Open today with 4 spots up for grabs at 4 venues.

Garcia, Rose and McDowell among the bigger names involved.

Some golfers who go to Liv don’t give a toss about the Majors but Garcia isn’t one of them. Patrick Reed is another - playing at BMW event this week.

Just seen that Royal Cinque Ports (one of the FQ venues) has a Par of 72, with a  Course Rating of 76.2 and a Slope Rating of 146. Bloody hell, 36 holes round there in a day may well leave most of us mere mortals a blubbering wreck...

A mate of mine played in an open comp there when he lived in Kent. It was two rounds at St George's and two at Cinque Ports, and he was utterly broken at the end

Sergio being his petulant self after being told to speed up. 

He's missed out by a couple of shots. Justin Rose was looking comfortable but just had some double bogey, still in the top 4 though with 6 to play.
