I like Thomas for next week, ball striker, variety around the greens and adds extra links courses to trips over here, eg North Berwick - so he clearly likes it.
Rahm should take a dive this weekend as he surely can't win 3 in a row. His podcast this week with Colt Knost (SubPar) has some great insight on his US Open win, plus his personality.
We could do with it being nice and windy in a week's time.
Just seen that the Cazoo Classic (English Open) is at the London Club on the 12-15 Aug, gutted I'll be away - went to a European Open there some years ago and was a great day out and not too busy.
Mickelson tries to sell his soul to the devil and only to find that he's going to be all on his own in hell.
He deserves all he gets. Never liked him since he cheated at the US Open a few years ago. Hit a moving ball just so it wouldnt run off into a bunker. He should have been DQ'd & told to leave. Even an 8 year old doesn't do that.
Unbelievably talented golfer. Humongous prick of an individual. Biting the hand that feeds. Hope it slaps him as far as Saudi where he can play out his forlorn days with that other odious prick Norman. To think I used to idolise both!!!
That last putt of Schauffle's was unreal. It didn't look like it was going anywhere else other than in. Scheffler, though, looked in total command and totally unflappable.
I was there Friday and Saturday. It's such a well organised event, great for viewing, free water, WiFi, and big crowds following every group give it a major feel. Sounds like I missed an ideal finish today, especially for the sake of the Tour going forward.
I was on Scheffler pre tournament and cashed out with a couple of holes to go. Should have stayed with it, the guy is such a good golfer and if his putter is working someone else has to play amazing to challenge him.
Masterclass from Rory today, brilliant to see. Just shows what a difference it makes with the pressure off
Two things......
Scheffler would have put much more pressure on Rory. His iron play would have been so much better & would have had many birdie opportunities from around 10 feet.
Also, I can never understand why so many putts never make the hole. Some of Schauffle's were coming up 4 or 5 ft short. As they say.....never up, never in.
Edit.
But let's not take anything away from Rory. His approach play has improved this season & his putting today was spot on.
Scheffler 6/1 to win all four majors, I really don’t think it’s beyond the realms!
That being said, Rory was magnificent!
Is that this year (i.e. Grand Slam) - I can't believe that is being quoted at 6/1. He wouldn't be less than 2/1 for each of them at the start and that's a 26/1 treble.
Scheffler is available at 9/2 with the bookies to win the US Open, 11/2 to win the Open and 9/2 to win the USPGA so the 6/1 quoted might be for him to win the four during his career?

I also assumed it must be a career slam rather than this year - but that's still very skinny! You might have to wait a while, unless it was he completes the career slam in the next x years.

We can't fit in all the other players who are on the fringes atm. Players like Paul Casey and Sergio Garcia.
edit. He’s fallen on his sword. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/golf/60487858
Scheffler is special.
For a while now his putting has been the only slight weakness.
But judging by the last 2 weekends he’s found something.
He COULD be uncatchable for most of the year at this rate.
