Golf Thread

Very interesting tonight. Was 4 tied at top there but Scheffler out in front just now by 1.

 

First time I've watched golf in years, * class here. Scheffler looks like he's not losing it from here, guy is brilliant. No counting Äberg or Homa out btw, Morikawa has * it a think.

 

I’ll be amazed if Scheffler doesn’t win this. The guy is unreal. Very few mistakes from him, and when he does make a bogey, his ability to bounce back is phenomenal. If he has an 8 iron or less in his hand, you almost expect it to be inside 10ft.

 

His form has been incredible. To be massive favourite going into the week and able to perform as he has is quite something.

Hopefully Homa, Morikawa & Aberg make a few birdies/eagles and keep the pressure up. They’ve all been pretty impressive tbf considering there’s only 9players under par.

 

Would take a monumental collapse now. Scheffler is far too solid.

 

He is incredible. Back 9 at Augusta is great for drama though. Eagle and birdie chances, but also holes where doubles can easily be made.

 

Between Scheffler and Homa now then.

 

Remember Spieth when Willett won it.

I don’t see it happening though.

 

Aye had that in mind but just can’t see anything like that with Scheffler. He’s just way too consistent for that. The rest of his competition are doing his job for him.

 

I don’t either but I’m holding out hope. I’ve got Homa at 55/1

 

Yeah looks like the pressure is getting to the chasing pack instead.

 

Scheffler is absolutely miles ahead of any other golfer in the world at the minute. Major number 2 incoming and I’ll be amazed if he doesn’t add at least one more this year. So in control with everything he does, even if his dancing feet suggest the opposite. The putter was an issue, but after changing that it’s improved, and with the amount of chances he gives himself, if he converts even a fraction of them, he is hard to beat.

 

He makes a difficult game look ridiculously easy. Wouldn’t be at all surprised if he wins all 3 majors on American soil and already sitting with the players in his back pocket.

Tiger levels of dominance incoming I feel.

 

It does feel that way.

 

People said the exact same things about Rahm and DJ in the last 4 years or so. It’s incredibly difficult to remain at the top of the sport for a long period of time these days. Let’s just see if he can do it. Incredible performance though, proving exactly why he was a very clear favourite for the jacket.

 

Guy is immense. You can just tell with some people they've got the magic...pressure piling on and they just thrive on it. Make a mistake and just step it up effortlessly.

So glad I watched that there, has reignited my interest in golf again. Takes a special talent to get me like that, Tiger done it, Federer done it, Scheffler looks like he could be that type of character. Superb stuff.

 

Even more amazing when no golf coach in the world would encourage you to swing like that. His feet are all over the place.

 

Brilliant from Scheffler.

I did fancy hum but his odds were terrible, thankfully MGM had a 100% profit so used that.

Fancied between him, Schauffele and Koepka as main bets. Funnily enough I did end up putting on Morikawa who I have been saying for a while he's going to win it at some point, but had done that bet later as his form has been poor.

Young Aberg looks like he'll be wearing that green jacket at some point.

Did wonder about the LIV players and how motivated and prepared they'd be for this tourniquet, think way too much money on their minds and then it probably catches up with them in competitions like this.

 

Aberg does look like he’ll be the next big thing goin by his quick rise and multiple wins already.

I don’t think money is a factor at all. It’s probably more likely an internal pressure to prove a point that LIV can still prepare for the highest level.

Smith, DeChambeau, Hatton, Reed all placed in top 12.
