shocked to see the DJ score this morning.Am now glad I was temporarily skint as there would have been a great temptation to lump on even at the short start of play price!

Comms were saying earlier this will be the first time a world no 1 has blown a 6 shot or more 54 hole lead since the Shark at Augusta 21 years ago

found it Martin Kaymer's astonishing collapse at Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship gifts title to Gary Stal
US Open champion moved into 10-shot lead with 13 holes to play but somehow conspires to throw away lead, to advantage of unknown French rookie Was this golf’s biggest choke? Certainly Martin Kaymer’s remarkable capitulation from being 10 shots ahead with 13 holes to play to losing by two to an unknown Frenchman, will long be talked about in the same breath as Jean Van de Velde, Medinah and Greg Norman. |

What a pleasant surprise on awakening with a hangover this morning.
Utterly embarrassing performance from WORLD NUMBER 1....Woeful display of bottling.Woeful. Those in the know suggesting this era better than Tigers era,TW,Phil,Ernie,VJ. Having a **** ing laugh! TW 6 shot lead and lose  Not a **** ing chance.Bunch of chokers at the very top of the game,all of them! |

There's no middle ground with DJ, he hardly ever shoots par
He is either very good or very bad To be fair to him, 95% of the time he is very good Could have shot 74 and still won Just wish I had laid him |

Only two men, Paul Lawrie and Stewart Cink, have erased larger decifits to go onto to win on TOUR - Lawrie was 10 behind Jean van de Velde in 1999 at the OPEN, while Stewart trailed Ted Purdy by nine in 2004 at Harbour Town according to Golf Channel (perhaps they mean from the start of the final round).

2018 WGC HSBC CHAMPIONS
BOMBerS AWAY Expect DJ Choker JOHNSON will be as popular as ever late Sunday nite  ......as he fights with KOEPKA to regain HIS #1 Spot ! |
|
By:
Course Experience may not be important as Knox 2015, DJ 2013 (Poulter 2nd), Mickelson 2007 (and 2009), YE Yang 2006 (Tiger 2nd) & Howell 2005 (Tiger 2nd) all won on their first visits.
DEBUTs for..... Eddie Pepperell Lucas Bjerregaard Charley Hoffman Matt Wallace CT Pan Julian Suri Alexander Bjork Andrew Putnam Andrea Pavan Patton Kizzire Shubhankar Sharma Jorge Campillo +13 others DAY and FINAU were T11 on debut in 2017. |

NOREN 45/1 seeking a first PGA TOUR victory & GRILLO 80/1 are near the tops when it comes to putting stats, on these raised & undulating bentgrass greens.
|
|
By:
Grillo's ball-striking stats were superb at the CIMB (T2nd) - he finished 1st for Driving Accuracy (85.71%) and sixth for GIR (84.72%).....more of that here please.
|
|
By:
struggling to see why Koepka isn't outright fav. been the best player over the last few months.
think dj will bottle it again. |
|
By:
Bombers course yes but the plodders have gone alright. The year Knox won the next 3 were Kisner, Fisher and Willett. The year Bubba won he beat Tim Clark in a playoff with Iwata, Gmac close behind. Berger second to Matsy. Moli a former winner. Poults a good record so plenty of examples. I think with the wide open fairways they just don't get in trouble at all off the tee and with a good putting week the plodders can easily win.
Cantlay at 55s therefore a bet for me. Nice and straight without being short and one of the better par 5 scoring ratios last season. Best of both worlds kind of thing. |

Where is the 55's Cantlay ? RAFA at 40's may be more appealing |

on here I presume ?

All this time on the BF forum and you don't even look at the BF prices?

Sheshan International GC - 7,261 yards, par72. A very very exclusive Private Club designed & built by Robin Nelson and Neil Haworth in 2004 (they also did the CIMB Classic's TPC in Kuala Lumpur) - it is tree-lined and features undulating bent grass greens with water in play on 11 holes - the 16th and 17th played over a water-filled quarry. Long-hitters and plotters have all thrived down the years (depending on the wind).
VERY WINDY ALL DAY FRIDAY (bombers away, if they can keep it straight). https://www.accuweather.com/en/cn/songjiang-district/60807/weather-forecast/60807 |

Added Chez who tends to play well in streaks. Good showing last week. Of the faves I have DJ on side.

Tony FINAU shoting 66 (now second fav after REED) - “I played good. It played tough, I felt like the wind was up on the front nine, which was the back nine (even though scoring on each nine was virtually identical). I made a couple bombs, which was really kind of the story of the day, which kept the momentum up for me through my round. It's the longest golf course I've ever played. Only my second time back (11th last year) but I don't remember a lot of these holes playing nearly this long.”

By:
Great score by REED (-8) considering he's only one under for the par 5's.

A long trek from London to make for Eddie Pepperell (back) and Chris Wood (neck) - both withdrew before the start - and end-up without getting to hit a ball.
The 9th reserve, Jason Scrivener was the only player available and got a valuable start (+3 today for the South African born Aussie). PEP, the wire-to-wire winner of the British Masters - "Thanks to the brilliant Physio’s here in China, I’m now up walking. Maybe a career low today while laid sideways p1ssing into a bottle because I couldn’t move.....not sure how long I’ll be out for but hoping to be good for Dubai." 6'6" WOOD has a history of neck and back injuries, while history also suggests it is something of an ongoing issue but often clears up with treatment. - so hopefully a happy ending for both |

Stat says you most likely need to be in the Top 6 on the road to victory at Sheshan.
2017 Justin Rose – R1: 6th, R2: 3rd, R3: 4th 2016 Hideki Matsuyama – R1: 3rd, R2: 1st, R3: 1st 2015 Russell Knox – R1: 9th, R2: 2nd, R3: 1st 2014 Bubba Watson – R1: 19th, R2: 3rd, R3: 3rd 2013 Tim Clark – R1: 2nd, R2: 5th, R3: 5th Top 15 players after R1.....

Have a new name for Rory , its Rory 42 .
Mind you when you see some of the other scores from a lot of our premier Ryder Cuppers you wonder whats in the soup . Fitzpatrick tops Rory's round , 8 over on the day after hitting the overall lead after 4 holes , then Rahm 4 over . Pieters 8 under on same day , beginning to look like a "jolly" trip . Certainly days like this would not encourage any decent punters to place their bets . And with a limited field they cant blame different conditions . |

finau such a bottler. no wonder he's only won one tournament despite being up there a zillion times.

the sky sports Justin rose fawning has started early. "so accurate, sean foley, blue print, world class," insert as needed...

talking about chokers Fleetwood must be up there with the best of them. always seems to wilt when up with the pace, only when coming from out of the pack with no pressure on does he look impressive.

I take it all back, rose giving the rest a lesson in choking.
making tony look like a mental beast  |
|
By:
concur wholeheartedly with the above..total bottlefest..bottling leaders there for the taking but those behind even bigger chokers
Finau the phenom has holed some frigging putts this week |

By:
This lot summed up in today's commentary ,only one player has ever defended a WGC title and that's Tiger ,just the 8 times.
