Golf 2024

I see my old friend Colin Morikawa has got himself back in the game. Got his succulent irons dialled in again. A Major player quite literally. Played 16 Majors, had 2 wins, 7 top tens, 3 of which were top 5. Best price 14/1.

The player who showed true grit yesterday was the bomb that is Ludvig Aberg. Was falling away early on with couple of bogeys. Then in those crazy winds went on a tear and made 5 birdies on the next 10 holes and posted.the only sub 70 of the day. Amazing player. No debutant has won this event since 1979. Could be Aberg to break that run. 20/1 best price.

Still hopeful that the hanging in there Xander Schaufelle can get himself motoring today after two 72s. Now at 40/1.

Scheffler off the line with two early birdies and Morikawa with an even better start

I played 9 holes this morning at my local club.

Courses in the U.K. will be screwed until May. Absolute bogs due to the amount of rain we’ve had over the last 7 months.

Going to Portugal on 28th for 3 rounds thankfully.

Come on Aberg

Scheffler making a couple of mistakes here. Might be a really good finish tomorrow

Come on Aberg

He's been playing the best golf for two days. He's not scoring today as he might, because the Saturday pins are the spawn of Satan and he's misreading putts.

Scheffler's putter has turned back into a pumpkin since the third hole today. Trevor Immelman did a lovely job of explaining why on the US broadcast.

Tomorrow will be even harder than today. They won't finish anywhere like 2007, but we could be looking at a higher winning total than 2016. If it degenerates into a grindfest, Max Homa has been grinding pars like a champ today.

Max Homa has been the best US golfer for the last 12 months or so, certainly since the Ryder Cup.

Leaders struggling a bit but makes it a good watch

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Scheffler pulls an eagle out of the bag which is like a 4 shot swing with everyone else dropping shots

 

[ToffeeTim]

Just as we were starting to ask questions, Scheffler lands an eagle

Big time mentality

 

[dublinbluenose]

Great approach Tommy

Better then Scheffler ?
Don't think so

 

[Thomasc]

Been pretty mad the last hour.

Hoping scheffler doesn’t run away with it now after that eagle, keep it interesting for tomorrow.

It is hard to score on this course when the greens are firm. Getting it close is only possible on a few holes, with a phenomenal shot. Otherwise, you're looking at a long putt with real break in it on a fast surface for birdie.

It's why making fours on the par fives is so critical. For the most part, you're just playing defense everywhere else.

It will be hard for anyone to run away with it.

Well thats not what I said.
