    It’s the consistency he has that makes him dominating a real possibility though. You are right, it is a streaky game, but his performances this season are just consistently very good. He has shot 72 or better in every round of golf he has played this season. The only 72 was the second round at the Masters. That is outrageous. Kid on the way which could have an impact, but he is playing at level that nobody has in a very long time. Anything from 150 yards you just expect him to get it inside 10ft. It’s actually frightening to be honest.

    I mentioned to my mate about Homa on Thursday. Never backed him, but he had a great weekend.

    He’s due a big win.

    That's the beauty of golf from what I've found playing on and off (self taught) for about 20 or so years. Trying to restrict your body's natural flow isn't always the greatest move and say your unnatural game type is scoring more than anyone else does it really matter how it looks to others? Unless your swing or grip is impeding your play in a really bad way I don't see a reason to change.

    Grayson Murray played on Friday and withdrew with an illness. Died later in the day at the age of 30. Absolute wild.

    At long long last Scotland has a fine golfer. I honestly think he can a Major in the next 2 seasons. He has fantastic natural talent and a good head.

    Chuffed for MacIntyre. There was a lot of big hitters not playing to be fair, but still a very good win for him.

    Bottle job from Rory there, had it in his hands and threw it all away. The putt on the 18th was a shambles, he’ll regret that the rest of his life.

    Sake Rory!

    Those two short putts will haunt him

    Was that three bogeys in last four holes? Having worked so hard to get in the lead.

    496 out of 496 putts all season from that distance & misses 2 in the last 3 holes to win his 1st major in 10 years. Absolutely bonkers!

    Embarrassing from Rory there, them two missed putts will haunt him for years to come. Not only that, the decision to take driver off the tee 18 was ridiculous. Especially when you can hit a 3 wood 300+ yards and leave a wedge in.

    That was sporting drama at its very best.

    Incredible tension in the end. That bunker shot on the 18th from BDC deserves to win any golf tournament.
