snowychap Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Astonishing stuff from Jordan Spieth.Lowest 36 hole score at The Masters at the age of 21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Speith should walk this; it's a good day for scoring. Woods has turned up for this one at least with 3 birdies in a row. Edited April 11, 2015 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wazzap24 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Anyone watch any of the US Open yesterday? What a brutal course! Remarkable rounds from Johnson and Stenson to get to that score. Rory played the course well. But his putting was shoddy, he would have been right up there f he'd holed a few. And as for Tiger, it's becoming painful. I know he isn't the most likeable of blokes, but I can't help but feel for him. Injuries or not, he's hitting shots than a Sunday morning hacker would be embarrassed of. It's becoming cringeworthy to watch and I almost feel like the cameras should just stop filming him. It's like rubber necking at a car crash or laughing at the sub-normals on Jeremy Kyle.

snowychap Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Anyone watch any of the US Open yesterday? What a brutal course!Yep - watched pretty much most of it including the free streams you can access via the US Open website (featured holes - 12/15 - and featured group).Some horrendous stuff (Woods/Rickie Flower - apart from his near albatross) and some excellent stuff (like DJ's chip out of the bunker on 9).Looking for ward to the rest. It'll be very interesting if the wind really picks up). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yeah, if t gets windy (or much dryer) it will be borderline unplayable. I watched Reed hit an approach into one green, which landed about 6 foot from the pin and ended up about 100 yards away! Good fun to watch though, much better than target practice golf they often play over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PongRiddims Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Can't remember who said it but on the radio they mentioned hardly anyone has put any money on Woods for this tournament and I see why based on current performance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Rory is on the charge! -6 under through 13. Ridiculous golf on this course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 He needs to stay where he is, I backed Day and Spieth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Your arse would have been going if he'd just holed that 6 footer for another birdie! 4 holes left including a par 5, if he keeps hitting it this close he could post a -9 under round here.

snowychap Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Terrible back nine from DJ. I excused some of his previous poor efforts in final rounds of majors but I think I'll chalk this one up as some serious choking (whilst also giving appropriate credit to Spieth). Cracking last seven holes from Oosthuizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I went to bed about midnight. Where on earth did Louis come from?? Great effort. Disappointed with Day not even placing. Well done to Spieth though, he needs to lose some of that beef before the open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I've a feeling Day might have won it were it not for the Vertigo. It's a miracle he completed all four days. Assuming Spieth is the real deal and not a flash in the pan (I'm going with the former myself), it's shaping up to be a great rivalry with Rory over the next few years. The way I see it is, although I think Rory is the superior player, Spieth could end up with more wins. It's genius Vs consistency. Spieth seems to analyse each course thoroughly and then go and and play it. He does it with a methodical approach and swings within himself. Adapts his game well to suit conditions, especially for a 21year old kid, his short game is solid and his putting is amazing. Rory relies more on form/feel and when he's on it, he doesn't play courses, he murders them. On form, he is unmatched, no other player has all of the strengths put together like he does. His problem is, he's streaky and when he's off, he's properly off. If he could putt well consistently, there would be no contest, we'd be looking at tiger levels of dominance over the next few years, especially in the 3 stateside majors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbojangles Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Ive started playing again, anyone on here playing ? If so, what's your handicap ? Yeah I play. Only get out for a round every couple of weeks so I am stuck around a 24 handicap. Not official though What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it takes the mickey a bit that you can't easily follow/watch what's going on on the final day of a major. Even more frustrating knowing the conditions will worsen later and my big outside bet has birdied the first 4 to give himself a tiny chance.
