mcilory gonna need to birdie 16 or I can sense a mugoff here
rory back in the big time, been long enough ffs
been a while since Rory has had one of those crazy little runs
I've done my money twice on a Rory two/ball
one a lay
one a win
one a lay
one a win
Final group a full par 5 behind and no sign of anything being done about it.
Rose -4 no bogeys , would have snapped your hand off for that pre tee off, s'pose thats the problem when you take on a streaky player as Rory rolls in his 4th consecutive birdie from 13th, nowt you can do about it. And Rose goes -5 just to rub my nose in it.
Stenson of two years ago would never leave a putt short, we need an abacus today. Its been exciting though folks
That's my 2 ball treble up 
Rory had to be on his best, as Rose played very well also.
Rory had to be on his best, as Rose played very well also.
lol and that's how you finish it off. Very well done Rory
surely the top players can jib those fcn caps,walking round with a forehead glaring
ant drunk in drink drive crash - 3 year old hospital other vehicle
ends up being 3 shot victory, fortunately didnt cost Decham anything there
McIlory putts at the 13,14,15 breathtaking in their accuracy and confidence. All would have gone 3 feet past. Some of the best putting I have seen for years by him, Rose and Stenson.
Despite going up against NCAA March Madness, the API outdrew three 2017 Majors in TV ratings (thanks to TW, and wee bit of wee Rory) http://glfdig.st/ehNOQih
Superb back nine from Rory few can live with him in that form, just shows the fluctuations on a sunday went out to 14.5 after his tee shot on 12!
Same Shi8e, different year...
And yes we know it's (((((2019))))) ffs...
………....although it’s a week early on this ‘new schedule’ (used to be a time when we celebrated Paddy’s Day along with Arnie in Bay Hill). This schedule may become more interesting next year when we see who plays The Honda (HOME Game, just down the street) and God forbid, even the thought of possibly SKIPPING this event, and waiting for the PLAYERS? More of ‘a-pain-in-the-neck’ next year??? (and anyways, it’s not the same without Arnie).
THE BIG NEWS this week is just a-pain-in-the-neck (literally), as we’re notably without eight-time champion Eldrick. World #1 for a total of 683 weeks with those eight victories here at Bay Hill, tying his own ‘At-One-Venue’ TOUR Record (tink Firestone and Torrey Pines). That’s a BIG call by TIGER to cancel and tweet apologies (if Arnie was alive, he’d be here!). TV ratings will be well down on last years’ record viewing.
One of a few INVITATIONAL smaller field events on TOUR, the 'Florida Swing' is into week-two-of-four at its annual stop at ‘Arnie’s Place’. Since 2015, the PGA is awarding the winners at Bay Hill (and the Memorial Tournament) with a three-year exemption of status. That's one year longer than the customary perk. Winners will also be exempt into THE PLAYERS for three years.
Yet another event where the last 3 holes on Sunday will decide the winner - the 16th is an eagle/birdie opportunity even with a back left pin - 17th a long par three all over water and 18th with the pin back right is ‘never’ an easy par 4 (unless your name is Robert Gamez).
"It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it..."
"It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean..."
"It's not how deep you fish, it's how you wiggle your worm..."
...in other words, ‘Length matters’ at Bay Hill !

RIP - ARNIE 25th Sept 2016 - he would have been 90 on the 10th Sept this year.
Back on 20th March in 2015 the OWGR #1 RORY McIlroy was having dinner with God, yes Arnold Palmer. It must have been an awesome and wonderful evening for wee Rory. The rest of us are in the Matthew 8:8 bracket. He’d never played Bay Hill in tournament competition and didn’t have the yardage book mapped perfectly just yet, but he’s a fast learner – ended up 11th that year, followed by 27th, 4th and a WIN last year. Good advice from God no doubt. Unfortunately, that dinner may not have been as inspiring as I first imagined - he was then a 4-time Major Champion - he still is !

The API from Bay Hill Club and Lodge – the home of two-time Champion Golfer of The Year and golfing legend Arnold Palmer - is one of 4 new events to join the OPEN Qualifying Series schedule this year. Three of those are on the PGA Tour, with the API making its debut along with the RBC Canadian Open and the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit.
There will be 3-places in the field at The 148th OPEN on offer - to the leading three players who finish in the T10 and ties – and are not already exempt.
In the event of a tie for a qualifying place, the player with the higher ranking in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) at the beginning of the week commencing 4 March will be awarded a place in The 148th Open.
Palmer, who won back-to-back Opens in 1961 and 1962, was highly credited for helping to revitalise the prestige of The OPEN after interest from American golfers had dwindled due to cost of travel. ‘The King’ came to Britain to play St Andrews in 1960 in a bid to achieve a modern version of Bobby Jones’ 1930 Grand Slam, having already won the first two majors of the year. He narrowly missed out by one stroke before being named Champion Golfer of The Year the following two years, encouraging other leading Americans to travel over in the process.
Outside of those already exempt for The OPEN, there are plenty of players looking for glory and a spot in the field at Royal Portrush.
One of the most notable is Northern Irishman - GMAC (500/1 on here), - will be all out gunning for a place on home soil and desperate in the next few weeks to secure his spot.

Mighty Whites 2008 • November 19, 2017 3:39 PM GMT I find cmiyc posts informative keep them up mate. 
2013 Honda Champ Michael Thompson (Get On!) is not yet due to make the trip to Northern Ireland, but the 33-year-old is on a run of five straight T20s and could threaten the top of the leaderboard again this week (The OWGR #136 played with Rickie last Sunday for a T16 - was season-best T7 at the Genesis). Meanwhile, recent RSM winner and Golf forum fav Chucky 3 Sticks will be making his 19th consecutive appearance at Bay Hill, with seven yielding T25s, and the Augusta, Georgia native is also on a good run of form with six T20s in his last seven starts - bitofinterest

Stenson not in great form but ive backed him the last 3 years and will be again,also Justin Rose who has played well here in the past.
It will be very boring without Woods. He's such a lovable humble chappie and if Mark Roe from SKY is missing also
it wont be worth watching. Roe is probably the most knowledgeable pundit on earth and it's truly refreshing to hear
him describe how Rory should have played a tricky shot, even a not so tricky shot.
Our own Rich Beem is also in love with Woods so this tournament won't please him.
Bring back Peter Allis please...........

(Chucky beat him in that RSM tossoff, with List finished T4 & Champ 6th)... Here last year Patrick was T7 (72,71,68,69) along with List (71,67,74,68) while Chucky was 2 swings back, T14th.

Stenson left me down badly for the FRL bet, but will be sticking around for the weekend at Arnie’s Place...the same can’t be said for his caddie.
THE Headline reads - "Stenson 'fires' his caddie after shooting 66 at Bay Hill" - Stenson improved by 11 shots Friday, carding a second-round, 6-under 66 to move to 1 under and avoid what would have been his 2nd MC in 11 career Palmer Invitationals. Henrik ranked second in the field in strokes gained: approach-the-green and fourth in strokes gained: putting. Stenson credits the improved iron play to a two-hour session Thursday night with instructor Pete Cowen. “I still have to fight a little bit out there, but my ball striking was certainly in a better way,” Stenson said. “I hope I can carry on some momentum here because we got a lot of big events coming up.”
Stenson’s fill-in caddie, buddy Marcus Larsson, handed in his bib Friday evening, he wasn’t getting it back. “Unfortunately, he’s getting fired,” Stenson said.
Stenson had a pre-tournament plan in place to use Larsson for the first 36 holes, and then sub in his former caddie Fanny Sunesson, who retired from Stenson’s bag in 2012, for the weekend. “She thought she was going to have the weekend off, potentially,” Stenson said, “and now she’s like, ‘Oh, I’m going to work!’”
Larsson, who has subbed in on Stenson's bag before, won’t be out of a job for long. He’ll caddie for Stenson next week at The Players after looping for Stenson’s 9-year-old son Karl in a US Kids Golf event this weekend. “That’s more important to me,” Stenson said. “But don’t worry, he’ll get another chance next week.” Hopefully, my 'good fanny story' has a happy ending

RORY Roller-Coaster McIlroy - birdied five of last six to win at Bay Hill last year playing what he called “almost a perfect round of golf” from the sixth hole to brake free from an all-star pack - Stenson, Rose and Tiger — and posted an 8-under 64 into an 18-under 270 to score a three-stroke win over Bryson DeChambeau. GET A MOVE ON RORS
“Golf is so fickle - You’re never far away from producing golf like what I did today,” McIlroy said. “But on the flip side, I don’t think you’re ever far away from producing mediocre golf as well. "It’s a fine line out here,” he said. “I think you have to play the game to really appreciate that. It’s not as black and white as some people make it out to be.”

RORS 20/1 with 7 to play (3 behind)... and two pars to come
FRANCESCO MOLINARI with a magnificent Sunday 64 (same as Rors 2018) is good enough. (69,70,73,64)
OPEN places up for grabs today too - KANG & MITCHELL ?
Only 2 yanks in the T10, with 2 South Koreans and SIX EUROPEANS
MATT Fitzpatrick needs two birdies to level with MOLI - he's birdied 16th 3 times already (fat lady choking on her words).
Aaron BADDLEY had one hand on his OPEN ticket earlier, but that changed to SADDLEY after dbl on 15 and bogey on 17
There will be 3-places in the field at The 148th OPEN on offer - to the leading three players who finish in the T10 and ties – and are not already exempt.
In the event of a tie for a qualifying place, the player with the higher ranking in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) at the beginning of the week commencing 4 March will be awarded a place in The 148th Open.

MOLI on the PGA TOUR... First 120 starts: 0 wins / Last 12 starts: 3 wins... + a THREE-YEAR exemption Franco
WELCOME TO ‘MOLI-WOOD’ - for a while we had that feeling again - as close friends and record-breaking Ryder Cup heroes Tommy Fleetwood (T3rd) and Francesco Molinari battled it out on the leaderboard in Bay Hill. The "5-out-of-5" ITALIAN came from 5 back, (moving up 16 places on the day) - OWGR #10, his API record now reads 1st,26th,7th,9th,17th,5th & 34th in 2013. MOLI is London-based (at The Wisley) so the members are a happy bunch again tonite. Franco just signed up with Callaway Golf this week too. What a coup/good timing for Callaway.

Tiger Woods holds the record for MOST WINS at ONE COURSE – with eight, and at three different locations!!!
Woods has eight wins at Torrey Pines, at Firestone Country Club, and in ‘Arnie’s Place’ at Bay Hill.
TIGER'S NEXT STOP.....on the ((((((FLORIDA SWING))))))
Ask him 'if that record would ever be broken' and Woods will be quick to reply (as before) - “It can be beaten. Hopefully next month.”.....Bay Hill continue to be a regular TOUR stop (apart from the odd pain-in-the-neck). “To do eight three times, I am very proud of that,” Woods adds. “It will be a tough one (for others) to beat. But I’d like to be the one to beat it and extend it".
For the record Woods also holds the record of eight wins at one event with the WGC-Bridgestone and Arnold Palmer Invitational wins. He won the Farmers seven times and added the US Open at Torrey Pines. Joining him with eight wins in one event is Sam Snead, who won the Greater Greensboro Open, now the Wyndham Championship, eight times over two courses. He won four at Starmount Forest Country Club and four at Sedgefield Country Club.
Woods has eight wins at Torrey Pines, at Firestone Country Club, and in ‘Arnie’s Place’ at Bay Hill.
TIGER'S NEXT STOP.....on the ((((((FLORIDA SWING))))))
Ask him 'if that record would ever be broken' and Woods will be quick to reply (as before) - “It can be beaten. Hopefully next month.”.....Bay Hill continue to be a regular TOUR stop (apart from the odd pain-in-the-neck). “To do eight three times, I am very proud of that,” Woods adds. “It will be a tough one (for others) to beat. But I’d like to be the one to beat it and extend it".
For the record Woods also holds the record of eight wins at one event with the WGC-Bridgestone and Arnold Palmer Invitational wins. He won the Farmers seven times and added the US Open at Torrey Pines. Joining him with eight wins in one event is Sam Snead, who won the Greater Greensboro Open, now the Wyndham Championship, eight times over two courses. He won four at Starmount Forest Country Club and four at Sedgefield Country Club.
First went there 1998 (Els) and 2016 (Day) really great there but if you want to go make sure you get clubhouse passes to make it that little more special and you never know who you will bump into,sadly not the great man though.
Terry, better again stay in the Lodge on Sunday & play Monday (also passes to the AP 'tent' right of the 9th hole are best) 
………....although it’s a week early on this ‘new schedule’ (used to be a time when we celebrated Paddy’s Day along with Arnie in Bay Hill). This schedule may become more interesting next year when we see who plays The Honda (HOME Game, just down the street) and God forbid, even the thought of possibly SKIPPING this event, and waiting for the PLAYERS? More of ‘a-pain-in-the-neck’ next year??? (and anyways, it’s not the same without Arnie).

Sounds a very fine idea that Catch and we know the grubs bloody good too. Who were you quoting btw?
Tiger Woods will not play in Arnie Place - "Back still stiff and just not quite ready.''
btw IM was T3 last year and earned his best result in his 16th start on TOUR and thereby qualified for a spot in The OPEN at Royal Portrush.

The local PROS in ORLANDO, FLA. (19 pros in residence some playing a 'HOME GAME' this week)........AND NOT on Orange Blossom Trail btw
Nineteen pros seems like a lot, but consider that in the pre-NetJets era, when Tour pros cared about commercial flights, Orlando was the hub for all things pro golf. Tiger lived here until 2011 but now, the gated communities in the Disney burbs are home to a slightly aging but still talented demo.....think Lake Nona, etc, etc.
12. Henrik Stenson
26. Gary Woodland (not playing)
60. Ian Poulter
63. Charles Howell III
117. Bubba Watson
(Feb 2018 OWGR)

Same Shi8e, different year...
And yes we know it's (((((2020))))) ffs...
But don’t forget this is also an OPEN Qualifying Series with 3 places available for The 149th OPEN.
Important too for the likes of Charl Schwartzel to try to make the cut for The Players.... Check out his putter btw!

Hope JUSTIN ROSE does the right thing before he signs his card
MOLI has withdrawn with a back injury and is replaced by Kyoung-Hoon Lee.
Round 1 FORECAST at Bay Hill:
There will be a risk for a pop-up shower or T-storm this PM ahead of a cold front moving into northern FL. Otherwise, expect windy conditions to develop this afternoon, with SW gusts of 25-30 mph after 2pm.

Good to know this lad - Joe Halvorson - DTN On-Site Event Meteorologist for PGA, LPGA & Korn Ferry TOURS
My Man MATTY starts with 4 birdies 10th to 13th
Schwartzel +5 - guess he won't make The Players
