Spewing that the cheat Mickelson got a Captains pick in the Ryder Cup. I hope the French galleries boo him at every opportunity.

Phil got pantsed in the afternoon 4some. Great to see the yanks 0-4. At 5-3 Europe’s way it sets up a great event.

Surprised they played Phil.

Keen on Fleetwood this weekend.

But hard to see the Euros winning.

Half of this post is becoming very profitable.

The other half is most definitely not.

Woods, Mickelson and Reed have been putrid.

Looking to the final day especially McIlroy v Thomas and Woods V Rahm, Garcia and Fowler should be good too.
Thomas V McIlroy are first off, good start to Thomas 1Up after the first.

Congratulations to Richmond supporter Mark Leishman on another win on the USPGA Tour. He teed off at the 18th with a 4 shot lead, he birdied it and won by 5 :clap :clap :clap :clap

Good win.

Won three of his past 44 starts. That is good going even if the CIMB is a limited field.

Just gets it done with no carry on or fanfare.
Always happy talking to the fans and media.

A great representative of Aussie sport and a Tiger tragic just to make him even more likeable!!!

Great effort. Would be one of our lowest profile sports people, despite his enormous success.

Not sure what all the new rules are, however really like the fact caddies can’t line players up now , imho pretty much a form of cheating ( though legal)

I actually thought that was one of the more unnecessary changes.

Caddies help with every single shot, be it yardage, wind, slope, etc, etc. Not sure why that should change when they reach the green.

I’m a big fan of the changes overall though.

Me too.

Did you guys see that footage of DeChambeau talking to his caddie - assessing air density, angle of descent and other stuff. they should make the players hit quicker if they are going to spend 5 minutes assessing each shot in such detail.

I see alignment as a skill and not something that the golfer should have from an outside agent, in saying I’m one of the very few who think that caddies should just be for carrying the bag.

Didn’t see it ,but the time a lot of players take has become crazy and it has a flow on effect to us mugs. I remember as teenager playing 18 holes in a comp no longer then 4 hours, now I believe a lot of clubs are averaging up near 5 hours
