McIlroy has just made four birdies in a row. Five behind Hoffman now.
Should make it 5 in-a-row (on par 5, 6th - birdie yesterday - missed eagle putt)
That chat with 'God' last night seems to have worked 
Great to watch Rory without Roe eulogising all the time 
Damnation. Was looking at the system trying to offer me €50 cashout but greed is terrible. I wanted more and checked out for €40 profit. So Im waiting for another opportunity to get back in. Maybe. Goingto see what price is being offered Ireland v Scotland.

I can add Hoffman to my ever growing list of golf bottlers and chokers. A crappy performance yesterday.
This sport is worse than WTA for chokers.

English should be a lot closer than he is now.....poor front 9 yesterday
load of bottlers behind stenson
but don't fully trust the guy to get it done
SHOULD win but not convinced

have £60 at 10s stenson...laid a even £100 last night,let the rest run for a bit...also have oosterhuizen in top 5 and 10 market so hopefully a bit of trading somewhere. agree cannot see who is going to shoot low to worry stenson,looks solid last night,good luck all.
Only Harris pre R4 for me and too far back i think....haver added Jones and Every for an interest...gl all
had some interest on hoffman,kokrak,martin & jones
defo more in hope than expectation

This is great golf dunno why people not happy! Oh and C'mon Hogg !!! :)
First line of the OP is Matt Every defends. Is the poster a prophet?
Would be the most unlikely back to back that I know of.
canelletto , every tourney whoever loses a lead you call a choker. cant guys just play poor sahots or does this nevbere happen. to be fair to Hoffman hes hardly been in this position so I don't think we can be too harsh.stensons now hit an iron 20 yards short, was that a choke/
so now stensns hit an iron 20 yards short, hoffmans in a bunker as is every, have they all choked?
hey cana, three stabs for stenson , poor putting or choke>?please tell me.
the committee must have all passed away 
or gone skint
or gone skint
didn't see , but with two shot lead pretty low id say
Echo everything siciflayingwinners is saying, spot on I reckon.
in truth for a top player stenson hasn't got as good win record as youd expect.if we are talking about non winners how about Jason day, nobady has the ability to go close without winning like him and hes always right nea he top of the market, only 16s for the masters, when the fk does he ever close out.
Same as vegas laid HS @1.77 last nite backed back @ 2.3 for 1/2 was still a looser
its a shame for Hoffman as he may not get too many winning chances.
If Stenson can hit this approach to 2 feet or less he might still have a chance.
total bottle job
stop making excuses
should have his tour card withdrawn forthwith..never to be given back
shouldn't get a job as a greenkeeper(no disrespect to them)..he'd f*ck that right up as well
fair play to every
didn't think he could do back to back
stenson's a serial underachiever

Focus will be on Stenson, but a great final round from Every, especially after a short miss on the first. Was underrated by the market for much of the round.
well done that Matt EVERY for back to back wins............. have to put Stenson in the same box as Kaymer (10 shots clear LOL!) and Schwartzel 4 shots clear with 4 to play!
What makes these players have melt downs when they get in front?

he was around 16/1 or so..there were some good false prices cos stenson was over skinny
Matt was 33/1 and four behind after he bogeyed the first, then soon 5 behind after Stenson's birdie start today.
He had no rounds in the 60s in his last eight events on TOUR then fires 68, 66, 69, 66 !

Henrik Stenson was less than thrilled with the rules officials after he couldn’t close out the 54-hole lead and ended up finishing second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational — one shot behind the champion, Matt Every.
Stenson, along with his playing partner Morgan Hoffmann, were playing in the final group and put on the clock for most of the day at Bay Hill, starting on no. 6. The Swede felt like it impacted the outcome of the tournament, particularly when they were being timed by rules officials so late in the day.
Stenson, who isn’t the fastest player in the world, three-putted both nos. 15 and 16 and thought that the officials’ decision to put them on the clock directly affected the result.
“We got on the clock on 6 and had to rush it a bit there on 6, 7 and 8,” said Stenson, who shot a final-round, two-under 70. “Still, I had a good chance on 7, tricky putt, missed that one. Good save on 8 and hit a good shot into the green on 9 that just released up the back and Morgan was in some trouble down there on the right. We had to have a ruling and stuff, which normally happens when you’re on the clock.
“Then we lost some more ground. I missed a good chance on 10, made a good birdie at 11, good up-and-down at 12, hit a good shot into 13 that went a little bit past it. Still scrambled for par on that one. The same on 14.
“Really problems kind of started on 15. We got on the clock again, which when you’re coming down the stretch, you want to be able to have five extra seconds not to try and rush your routines and playing.
“So, on the green, I didn’t really have much time to look at my putt and rushed that one a little bit, the first one, and three-putted. Morgan got a bad time on his second shot on 16 and again I kind of rushed my putting on 16 and three-putted that one. That’s what really cost me the tournament — those two three-putts on 15 and 16.
“I was 19-under and with 16 playing fairly short, I hit a lovely shot. But I was in between clubs and close to go with the longer club. You’d rather be five yards past than five yards short. Left a sneaky putt and being on the clock didn’t make it any easier, that’s for sure.
“I’m a bit disappointed with the rules official pushed up that late in the round for no obvious reason and let us go on 17 and I had a decent little chance on 18, but still 20 feet down the hill. I hit a good putt, but didn’t break as much as I thought. Of course, disappointed not to come out on top, but all in all, a good week.”
Those were just Stenson’s opening comments. Then, it was opened up for questions and he was asked if he thought being put on the lock was unfair.
“We were five, six minutes out when they started timing us on 6,” said Stenson. “We made up some ground, but then the ruling on 9, we kind of lost some ground.
“I think when we were on 12 tee box, I still saw the group ahead. We might have been a couple minutes out for sure, but then again, it’s normally not the quickest when you’re playing in the last group — more people, more movement.
“You have to back off every now and then for some mobile phones and stuff like that. You’re not playing the quickest when you’re out in the last couple of groups. I didn’t see the point of the officials influencing potentially the outcome of this tournament towards the end there. It felt like they could have let us go from 15 onwards. It’s not like anyone would have taken too much time on that.
“I kind of made a little gesture towards (the rules official) on 16 after my three-putt.”
Stenson was informed that officials moved the times up 10 more minutes to get the finish closer to 6pm.
“I thought we were here to play golf and not to finish at 6:00,” he said. “I know we have times to take into consideration. If one, two minutes on the broadcast is going to make or break it, then I think we need to have some more leeway with it.”
Interesting enough, Stenson, who was the slower of the twosome, never clocked a bad time.
“I was never warned,” he said. “Morgan was the one who got a bad time or got a warning on 16. I saw that after the second shot. I didn’t get a warning. It’s just that I mean, you want to take your time, but still when someone is sitting there with a stop watch, it still affects you a little bit. Got to me a little bit and obviously I was rushing. I wasn’t in the right frame of mind on a few of those putts and it cost me.”
This reminds me a bit of 2009 at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational when Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington were put on the clock on the 16th tee. Harrington was obviously flustered and went on to make triple-bogey on that hole. Afterwards, in Woods’ post-win presser, he called out and blasted the rules official for making the call.
So, here’s a question for you, folks — should officials put the last group on the clock in the final round? I’m all for the guys to play faster, but it seems kind of like a moot point when the PGA Tour never actually doles out penalty strokes for slow play.

EVERY's season so far - T49, T56, T27, DQ, CUT, T69, T49, T63, CUT – WIN
A 54-hole leader or co-leader has not won on the PGA Tour over the last NINE events.
CMIYC...good post there re being on the clock
normally,when smn who hasn't got it done from a winning position starts bitching i'd say poor workman blaming tools et al
but stenson's a genuine guy so i can empathise
but at the end of the day he's got previous for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
should be a steward's into it tho'
but no blame would fall on the officials so c'est la vie

Slow play is killing golf it gets so boring so good to see clock being
used to effect it should speed up other players. Every deserved this win
not least for the way he putted under so much pressure and putt on 18
was excellent thoroughly deserved Stenson didn't win it mattered

Just wish they would clamp down on it more. Harrington was just embarrassing at the Honda. How he got away with it is incredible. The inconsistency definitely seems to be a problem.
Only Haas, Bae, Martin, Moore and Walker have closed out their 54-hole leads. That makes it 13 in 19 events on TOUR that have not won after being the 54 leader.
Walker is the only person on both sides of this stat - as he didn't win from his lead at Kapalua.
Walker is the only person on both sides of this stat - as he didn't win from his lead at Kapalua.
All greens will be newly grassed and hole No. 16, as Mr. Palmer said on the coverage, is going to change dramatically for next year.
I don't quite get why people expect the 54 hole leader to convert and label them chokers when they don't. Often there are as many as ten players within 5 and one gets hot.
1 in 3 converting seems about right for me.

So does winning the tournament mean the player didn't choke?
To be fair it's a different type of golf you play if you are out in the lead the final
day. All golfers in the lead on the final day get defensive and play safer shots which gives the advantage to the following pack who have to be aggressive like Every this week. So bottler I think not Stenson
played well but Every played better simples

the chasers can certainly take more risks sometimes it comes off. Every timed his run perfectly going clear on the 18th. Stenson didn't cover himself in glory on sunday with the three putts and not birdieing the par 5s.
Thereis always the chance that the one of the chasing pack will have a good day, hole a few putts be in the grove and post a score. It is very difficult in golf to consistently score well. There are so many variables. Some days you play well but get no breaks or whole nothing whilst on others you havent got your a game but compile a score.
Winning from the front is difficult. Tiger was superb at it but for a decade he was simply that good that even a steady round was often as good as the rest could manage.
Winning is difficult there haven't been repeat winners this season yet state side.
