Damn, no wonder he is often “smokin’” o the golf course.
That’s a lot of Chilli!
Billy Horschel is a good guy - comes over for DP World events.
He is a wet spam fan sadly.
But he can also do some crazy golf shit
Justin Thomas.
Had the world at his feet then turned to shit
Viktor Hovland the 2nd coming of Tiger, won the Fed Ex and? Savked his coach, rebuilt his swing, turned to shit.
Both been on a comeback trail, each had moments and then horrors.
Except tonight at The Valspar in Florida.
Fierce course. JT in the lead by 2 into the last 3.
Viktor wins by 1 shot.
This is huge for the Ryder Cup if he really is back
After today, there are 2 more Sundays until The Masters Champion is crowned.
Scottie has been wobbly last couple of weeks. Spraying shots and not the same as last year with the putter.
He doesn’t “look right”
Rory as part of his no divorce deal cut back on tournament play this year, but, after the Players, he wanted some more golf before Augusta to get his driver firing, so he rocked up in Houston this weekend.
A meh first round in tricky conditions, a make the cut round then 11 under on the weekend so far.
He looks like he will not be shit at Augusta.
Scottie not giving any confidence.
Min Woo Lee tearing it upshould win this weekend.
Who do I bet on for Augusta?
Polish IPA
Care to revise that?
Totally gonna walk it.
The others should just stay home. Pointless thrm even turning up
Only way to stop him is gonna be a Ravioli cutter
We enter Masters week. A relief from the monotony of Saints season.
Lots of stories as usual but this is (was) the biggest one
Augusta still recovering from Helene

There are hundreds of houses in a similar state across the city of Augusta
Analysis from Iain Carter, BBC golf correspondent in Augusta
The whole of Georgia, and many surrounding states in the US, is still recovering from the effects of Hurricane Helene last September, which left hundreds dead or missing and caused billions of dollars worth of damage.
There were 37 reported deaths in Georgia, many of those as the result of falling trees.
Roadsides are still populated by fallen trees; oaks, ash and giant pines. Long-established homes bear scars of severe roof damage, much of it protected only by flimsy tarpaulins.
Augusta National immediately donated $5m towards the local relief operation. It was a natural disaster that brought together a community which otherwise only comes into the spotlight in the second week of April.
The famed course was hammered. Trees came down in their hundreds, damaging one of golf’s most famous greens on the par-three 16th.
Walking the course now is a lighter, less claustrophobic experience. You can now see through wooded areas that previously screened individual holes and made them their own isolated stations.
Now, the separation of the ninth and first fairways is less cluttered. Coming down the 11th it is possible to see into the course at neighbouring Augusta Country Club.
The wooded area to the right of the newly laid 16th green has been denuded, which means there will be fewer shadows on the putting surface when the world’s best golfers begin their challenge for the famous Green Jacket on Thursday.
So much coverage this week.
But we bring you Rory’s secret…

Cash out now.
4 holes fond.
Scottie is nailing insane putts from downtown
He’s won this
TBF Rory was a tad unlucky with this one…but he shoulda known
Patrick Cantlay chipped in the water twice before dropping and took an 8
He should have known.
He had his chance
Maybe next year eh?
Rory had a good round today, the golfing Gods helped out a bit but he shot 6 under
The wind is getting up, the afternoon groups will find things a little bit harder
Justin had a tidy 1 under to sit at -8 one ahead of Bryson
Game on
Factoid - they were comparing drives and saying just how well langer and couples are playing
On the 11th using average drive Langer needs to take a 3w for his second whereas Rory only needs a 9
But Bernhard is only a couple of shots behind per round - amazing
On a really good day I could hit a drive 250 yards off the Tee. But that was at age mid - late 40’s and practicing / playing at least twice a week and working out in the Gym.
I hit my last golf balls in April 2019 and I hit a drive 220 down hill and down wind. So yeah that was an insane stat.
Even back then I had a 3 Hybrid that I could reliably hit about 180 and a 3 wood I could hit maybe once in 5 tries off the deck - Rory is hitting a 9 iron 180 or more these days
(I had a 2 Hybrid that on the range sometimes went 200 yards which on the course usually went about 120 the wrong way)
So yeah as the old advert used to say. These guys are good
(And one of THE most amazing sounds in the world is when you stand next to a Tee Box and hear a Pro hit that Driver. Damn what a sound)
Damn
3 leaders in last 25 seconds
Rory birdie chip in Eagle
Bryson stunning birdie putt
Game on
Could be an amazing day’s golf
