28 to 1 this morning.

I think he was 150/1 beforehand, maybe even more. Doesn’t matter now anyway, the tournament is over. My only hope of winning some money is Ancer getting into the places, preferably on his own and not part of a tie.

Did he win? I was going to stick a quid or two but had no money.

Nah, he was in a tie for the lead at one point yesterday but Horschel is now running away with it. There was an article in The Athletic earlier in the week bigging up Horschel. I should have listened to them.

Had three in ( relative ) contention in Smith, List and Vegas at the start of round 4.

5 over, 5 over and 9 over for the day respectively. Impressive.

DJ has decided to play in the Saudi event. 
 

I tell you what, that new Netflix series that’s currently being filmed is gonna be superb. 

Now there’s news coming out that Bryson and Patty Reid are joining too. 
 

It sounds shite. Shotgun starts. Fuck’s that all about?

[3 Stacks]

Was just gonna ask if people were gonna watch this LIV (laugh, love) Golf shite.

 

It looks inherently unserious thus far, but this does feel like the end of pro golf as we know it. Floodgates will open and these have too much money.

Graeme McDowell, Poulter, Westwood, Louie Oosthuizen.

 

Team play, three rounds.

Sheesh.

[Captain Turdseye]

Shotgun. Starts. 
 

Fuck off. 

[TheHowieLama]

Shotgun starts are ace. As are charity mulligans, beer girls, long drive/closest to the pin comps and all you can eat/drink buffets. Plus the free hat.

[Captain Turdseye]

This week’s losing bets. Had a win on the football last night so I’ve pushed the boat out. 
 

 

[TheHowieLama]

Gonna get ugly.

 

 

PGA Tour suspends 17 players after involvement in the Saudi-backed LIV International Golf Series; PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan says "players have made choice for financial-based reasons" and "cannot demand the same benefits and opportunities" as other PGA Tour golfers

[polymerpunkah]

They've given Mickleson 200 million just for signing up.

 

How do you say "no" to that?

 

"Sure, Bin Salman chopped up a journalist, but the guy was asking for it. And if you ask me about that again...."

[John102]

I know nothing about Golf but i would like to say that Greg Norman and Phil Mickelson look like they are straight out of the purge. I am sure this new tour will include chopping up the poor at one of their events.

[Captain Turdseye]

Decent watch, this last day of the Canadian Open. 
 

McIlroy was flying and three clear, but it looks like he could be about to piss it away. 

[polymerpunkah]

Mickleson 16 back at the US Open. Chances are good he'll miss the cut.

 

But what does he care? He got 200 million from the Saudis. Like winning the tournament, 63 times.

 

Speaking of cuts, here's his new putter:

Certainly on here it appears to be. I’m looking forward to later though. Not a universal opinion I know, but I hope Rory gets on a charge early doors. Just about kept himself in it yesterday.

 

Will obviously need something special today. I think -5 or possibly-6 wins it.

This course can wreck your card on 2 or 3 holes ask Scotty. Seriously impressed with Rory's putting working with Faxon seems to be helping. Love Fitzpatrick, such a patient golfer.

[3 Stacks]

Someone needs to drug test Fitzpatrick. His speed looks off the chain. 

 

It's looking like a true sweepstakes. Think Willy Zee will do it.

I watched most of Thursday & Friday. I got kicked out of the living room last night so the kids could wrap up the Father’s Day presents. When I left Scheffler was -6 and when I came back down he was -1. 
 

All I’ve got left is a straight fiver on Sam Burns and a stupid double that has next to no chance. 
 

 

[Captain Turdseye]

I’m supposed to be going down to the pub later but I’m toying with the idea of crying off so I can stay at home and watch it.

His putting on the back 9 last night was as good as it's ever been. Frustrating as fuck that his driving and wood play let him down when usually he's great with the driver.

[TheHowieLama]

Justin Thomas is going to have a cow as it looks like McIlroy got a drop on his first drive because of sprinkler head.

[YorkshireRed]

Good start for Rory. 

[3 Stacks]

It's an absolute sweepstakes.
