Westwood misses 2 makeable birdies, as usual.
DaChumpo is all over the map so far and Bradley struggling along with Connors.
Maybe a surprise winner today? Fleetwood?

Wind is up , favours the good ball strikers. Bryson would be my pick otherwise but is too all over.

I think this could favour a player Fleetwood or Spieth , Connors is no slouch either.

So BDC takes the tough line on #6 again ... but what was his caddy looking at back on the tee when thy were prepping the shot? On a lanyard round his neck? Wind speed or direction indicator ... definitely more than an ID card.

    golf_bhoy Was thinking the same thing, most likely a compass--he tried using a compass before to help with flags. Believe he was told to stop. Need more equipment for wind speed. Surprised not one comment by the TV folks.

        You're probably right, it's not the first time either (but is the first I've seen it). Quick google search and there's any number of articles on it ... should have done some research before I posted. An entertaining last round in progress ... BDC playing it his way, Spieth back on form, Connors very steady, Westwood hanging on even with his Sunday putter in the bag.

          Keeps him from winning big events maybe, but

          Number of wins by tour
          PGA Tour 2
          European Tour 25 (8th all time)
          Japan Golf Tour 4
          Asian Tour 8 (Tied 6th all time)
          Sunshine Tour 3
          PGA Tour of Australasia 1
          Other 3

            Spuzz Not really a surprise tee to green
            His putting is meh. Keeps him from winning.

            I kinda jinxed him, but he just scrambled back with a nice putt on #15

                sdandrea1 with a nice putt

                for par...
                He should have this thing wrapped up by now...
                He still wins, on the days his putter doesn't leave him, which is often.
                I like him btw.

                    I'm not disagreeing - he's pulled 3 makeable putts left that would have had him well ahead. And another short one on #16 for joint lead ... did I say I wasn't disagreeing?

                    You just reminded me of the time one of our national newspapers described Greg Norman as "a man who's made a career of finishing second" years after his Saturday Slam. He had 71 wins on his CV at the time ...

                        golf_bhoy did I say I wasn't disagreeing

                        nah, but you listed his wins etc
                        I watch Euro golf a lot. He's not the same putter over here for some reason.

                        On a side note, our guy Connors is a bit of Sunday flake, like most of the Canadians on tour these days.
                        I root for them, like Westwood, and then turn the channel at some point, before the end.
                        🙁

                            Spuzz Westwood, like Darren Clarke, is hard to go against in Ryder Cup. Appear to be stand up people. Don't remember him ever complain, bitch or moan when things went bad. Order of Merit last year, no slouch. Sorry, Race to Dubai.

                              johnnydoom What a beautifully smooth swing he has though.

                              Top 5 in ball striking (may have been tops 2 years ago) but putting is suspect on Sundays.

                                Anybody here NOT had that kind of lie at some point? Semi final match, club handicap championship, 1 down and 1 to play, drive never left the entre of the fairway ... not that I'm bitter or anything ...
