I also like Georgia Hall - seems like a really nice person.
I really like Georgia Hall too, a very genuine person.
Her career has really stalled of late though. She had a really poor 2023 and hasn't started particularly well this year either.

It would be unthinkable for Rory to turn. It would ruin him. The biggest critic of LIV.
The money cracks me up. Scheffler has earnt 15 million $ this year. What are Rahms career earnings. Ridiculous greed.
I hadn't heard that Seve quote. I can just see him saying that. Hilarious.
The man was a genius, and I don't think gets enough credit for shaping world golf. He was an inspiration for many young pro's.
There just aren't many of those personalities in golf today. They just seem to be churned out of the colleges like overly muscular automatons, all dressed the same.

I suppose football is similar - not many Billy B's or Johnny Giles' around these days.

God I'm getting old and crotchety. :roll:

You’re definitely right there Malcolm.
Seve is the one all current European Tour pros have to thank for the tour being what it is now.
It is a bit like that I’d agree. Not the same personalities and money is god much more than it was then.

Charismatic wasn’t he. I wish he was still around to kick some arse. Specifically Rahms.

Amazing this Heritage PGA tournament. Great leaderboard.
Of course Aberg & Scheffler have risen to the top.
What a duel these 2 are going to have going forward

Incredible mental strength from Scheffler to be leading a week after winning the Masters. Usually when someone wins a major they take the next week off. Bad news for the rest of the players that he's so relentless.
I still find him boring though.

Hopefully Straka or Aberg will do him.

Scottie has a 4 shot lead with a couple of holes left. Both Straka and Aberg have fallen away.

Rory finishes with a whimper and is 13 strokes behind.

SS is at a different level right now, he is in machine mode

Yeah they all wimped out. Like they used to with Tiger.
So that’s 4 wins in 5. And Korda won her fifth in a row. Third woman to do so. Power couple.

Rory to fixated now about winning that next major. A quality player but the heads gone me thinks.

Scottie is finding it incredibly easy at the moment his mental toughness would show our footy team a thing or two.
