Spuzz

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 ...

                  A couple clutch 2 putts on 18, good win for DeChambeau....and Westwood hung in there
                  better than I thought he would for an "old guy"!

                  Good golf to watch, when it comes down to the last putt on the last green, you know it's been worth watching. Shame it didn't go to a playoff ('cos I have to go walk the dog now ...)

                  azgreg They need to address the asshats that don't replace them. Then again, nothing is good about landing in or on one.

                      golf_bhoy he got jammed for sure and we got jammed as spectators. I would have liked to see him play an aggressive approach on 18.....would have been fun to see what he would have done!

                          ode Have to assume Westwood was considering the payout. Last year solo 2nd paid over $1M and he is playing off Past Champ status. This guarantees he can play next year when he wants. But agree, I wanted him to play to the hole.

                              Par4QC They need to address the asshats that don't replace them.

                              It could be that the divot didn't survive and wasn't replaceable. Perhaps they should allow a drop from a divot but you open up another can of worms.

                                  Rickochet "Ground under repair" should cover it nicely. I'm sure 'the old boys' will go with 'play her as she lies laddie!'

                                    Bravopilot he won the race to dubai last year.....although it was a fubar year....he's still playing really good golf on the biggest stage!
