Foxy and Burns still in with a shout.

Some mad shot selection today, trying to hit driver off the deck and in the rough :?

If Scheffler was putting well it was his for the taking. He seems a lot more normal now, behaved well on the course and in interviews.

Fox has been incredible this last five holes in the face of some bad luck. I really hope he holes this.
Really remarkable. And he really does it his own way with that swing!

In the age of slow play what a breath of fresh air Ryan Fox is. That was for The Open ffs. Stepped up bang 😆
Utterly brilliant

Congratulations Ryan Fox.
I was rooting for him once it became apparent Tommy couldn't win it.

A birdie on 18 to win was astonishing.
One of the hardest tee shots in professional golf and he drained it right down the middle followed by a brilliant approach.

One of the great fly halves.... from the golden age of Rugby Union. Not Welsh fly half good but still

Remember him well.
Incredible really isn’t it. To come from one family.
Wales had a production line of fly halves in those days. Not the same position in the modern game.

Phil Bennett was my favourite as a kid being too young for Barry John really. Those sidesteps are legendary

Maybe Tuchel has something with DNA... look at the Mannings in the NFL Archie, Payton, Eli, Arch. That might be top class QB over three generations

And we have the Grays

All Blacks try 👍🏼
Probably Jonathan Davies for me as I saw him play at the old Arms Park.

Well, there's a turn up.......but obviously I'll take the win, gratefully :)

Very well done, Marie on being the overall winner :gold: :clap: and thanks to JD for all his hard work (and reminders) keeping it all together. Not an easy Comp to keep on top of :clap:

Thanks for the wooden spoon, I will cherish it with great honour. Nearly made a great comeback, ironically getting all three through the cut in the US open did for me..
