Scotty will take a four shot lead over Rory into tomorrow's final round.

by skully Sat 30 Nov 2013, 05:41

All the chasers touched Scotty on the shoulder then fell over. Shocked

Except Rory, who fell over then clawed his way back to 2nd. FMD, for a leprechaun, can he hit a drive or what???!!! He pounded one 330 m, about 60 m past Scotty. When I was playing (before the back said "WTF do you think you're playing at?") I could hit the cover off it to 270 m, which was a monster for me (just about the longest drive I ever hit, not counting down hill with the wind). Shocked

Wonder what Gary Player's opinion on that (Rory, that is) will be?

But yeah, he's always been surprisingly long.

Barely ever get to 250 myself... the putter's the only saving grace.

Meanwhile, Bhullar's cocking up.

Jazz hands Janewattanond leading now.

Normanesque from Scott.

by skully Sun 01 Dec 2013, 05:36

A bit stiff. He flew it to the back tier but was about 2 m long and off it scooted. Crikey, I don't think he was meant to win. 5 lip outs, FFS.

Anywho, well done to Rory. Hung in, and sunk the one that mattered.

by tricycle Sun 01 Dec 2013, 06:17

Woah, Rory won? How did Scott cock that up?

The other Rory, Rory Hie's hit the water 4 times in the outward nine and thrice in two holes. 9 under to 3 under today. Jazz hits the water and doubles, Fung messes up a bunker shot and Bhullar can't buy a birdie (although all pars), and he's extended his lead to 2 strokes.

Nobody wants to win in Indonesia.

Yup.
Another god for massive idolisation.

Oh wait . . . only 523 people (plus trike) follow golf in India . . .

Bugger . . . okay, just a mini effigy then.
Burn it if he loses again.

Nah, there are Seppos for that. Does anybody but an American like the Americans?

by tricycle Mon 02 Dec 2013, 11:56

But of the sports we're shit at, and that's all of them, golf is the best by far imo. The standard of the PGTI is pretty good and the Asian tour continues to grow. I won't expect many Jeevs or Thongchais but this current lot are promising, especially Bhullar and Lahiri. COmpared to a decade and a half or two ago, it's come a very long way. Would still have them behind Thailand though.

North Korea's golf has gone backwards since Kim Jong-il's death

by tricycle Mon 02 Dec 2013, 12:43

Yeah, but their football has become more exciting

I do.
Just two of them.
Phil Mickleson and the late, great Payne Stewart.

by PeterCS Mon 02 Dec 2013, 14:41

I thought you would like some of their pin-ups.

by PeterCS Mon 02 Dec 2013, 14:43

I like some Americans.

Those I know, and those on the coasts. And Obama.

Not so sure about rednecks, or Tea Party activists.

by tricycle Mon 02 Dec 2013, 15:01

Liked plenty of Yanks, Uilhein and Koepka atm, and through the years, who could dislike Watson and even liked a bit of Couples and early Daly and the new mellow Phil. But Americans and the PGA tour as a whole, smug bunchaqunts, and their courses are almost all the same.

Remember Nick Dougherty? Closed out his challenge tour season with 16 events and 2000 quid prize money....
