Scheffler looking pretty steady now though maybe not drop too many.

I know it was just downhill and pros irons are customized, but Cam Smith was just 195 out with a 7iron and it’s now hole high

Their numbers are insane. 230 yard par 3s and they're knocking in irons.
Smith’s fecked it
If Rory can get one more you never know. Scheffler has gone very safe and I’m not convinced that’s a great mindset.
Dear oh dear, Cam…
Yes! Unreal. And here I‘d be breaking out fairway woods
Then Scheffler goes a club up and puts it as far away from the water as possible
Warmer air factors into it too.
200+ I’m on the driver…. Concerning I can hit 9-6 roughly the same distance… need to work on that consistencyYes! Unreal. And here I‘d be breaking out fairway woods
Scratch that - Scheffler’s putting is too bloody good.
Spieth-esque meltdown on 12
Yeah, but it’s only 70ish degrees around here today.
Smith taking the “feck it” approach now which I appreciate
Only clubs I’ve ever been able to hit close to tour player distances are my wedges. After that, I’m at least 2 clubs behind them.
You’re right, professionals’ clubs are typically delofted about a club / club & a half.I know it was just downhill and pros irons are customized, but Cam Smith was just 195 out with a 7iron and it’s now hole high
Yeah but in my experience most in the UK express amazement at these yardages when in reality they aren’t that crazy. If Cam Smith played hit that shot on 11 on a cold winters day in the UK the club would not be the same.
Classy shot right there.
Still expecting Scheffler to get in trouble at some point but he’s maybe too far infont for it to matter now..
Hell I’m less than 90 miles from Augusta National and I’m amazed at them
Zero pressure on him now unfortunately. Very bland winner despite his hot run. Just not feeling it with him at all. If he backs it up over the next year then I’ll probably change my view.
Amazing from Rory..
What a round by Rory. Could have been easily a course record
Sorry but what does that even mean ? He is the world number 1 & the hottest player on tour right now
I stand to win $4250 AUD if Scheffler holds on but genuinely would love to see Rory win this
a play-off would be amazing
a play-off would be amazing
Fun stuff from McIlroy and Morikawa
Nice punch out with a fecking driving iron. These guys are pretty good.
He’s on a very rare hot streak. He hadn’t won a tournament 45 days ago. All just feels a bit unsustainable and I just don’t find him engaging. He’s been very consistent over the last year clearly but we’ve seen this so many times before. Players get really hot, win a major then fade back. I’m looking for more.
Ballgame.
I love Rory but I wouldn’t even want that if my relative was playing let alone a random guy
Rory is still such a special player, but the fact that loads called him having an epic round now he was out of it sums him up mentally. I'd love it if he won from epic meltdown of Scottie mind, do like Rory, seems like he's genuine whereas a few of them are pretty robotic, which I guess you need to be, and is what Rory struggles with.
My two favourite players.
Well even before winning the tournament he had already made the US Ryder cup team which is no mean achievement and he was rookie of the year two years back
I broadly agree with this, I'm not sure he has that elite technique like others who dominated the game.
If he brings this home that will be 4 wins in his last 6 tournaments though. Has anyone ever done that before?
Byron Nelson won eleven straight starts one year. Tiger won seven straight starts over a two year span.
I am a bit of a technique snob as well so that bias probably factors into it. His fundamentals are really solid it just doesn’t look good. I think Fred Couples did something similar going into the Masters way back in 92.
that's incredible
Well Tiger won like 6 on the bounce.... but do we write Tiger off because he is a genuine anomaly?
My wife is pulling hard for Scheffler to fall apart in these last 4 holes. She loves her some Rory.
