((((( AT&T BYRON NELSON )))))

He did birdie 9

ty -shotlink wrong with the 402 yards tho yeah??? i suppose coulda hit a path

6.53pm uk time expected tee off now

Not been watching the earlier rounds, is Leishman a decent bet at evens? or is he just up there with the good start he got? could do with having a little flutter on  something, either outright, or a 3 ball any tips welcome as I haven't seen anything so far.

my oppinion for what thats worth is, with little wind and softened course its setup for some really low scores,so if top two stumble at all they could easily get pipped...

Ive taken your opinion, and went for M Jones outright, never seen him before, but a little interest in the comp

good luck backed him other day to win 1500 so hope your right lol, with a bookie aswell so cant trade it unless very short

gone for a mutiple, with the mindset longer hitters have the edge with it softened,

What is going on please? Why aren't they well into final round?

Lots of heavy t'storms in the area and around Tx - leaders off in a couple of hours or so.

Thanks Hankers.

Late night then.

tee offs at hole 1 and 10, 3balls so shouldn't be too bad

Ive taken your Keith Mitchell in a 3 ball system99 good luck with your flutters

they still havent teed off, what in the actual feck

wont get finished 2nite now, farce

leaderboard guys gone home for the day

Horrid start for Leish

im still getting over walkers silly double at the 18th yesterday, i still had hope until then.will they get finished tonight? i havnt been keeping track at all?

Imo Leishman is a dog.
Should've won way more than he has.Including an OPEN.
A top top player would've kicked right on.
May well win but price has been shocking all weekend.
Good thing for him is he is surrounded by more chokers.

very unlikely, gets dark in 3 hours

actually have 4 hours or so so will be borderline to get finished, you can bet these guys will suddenly solve slow play to avoid an extra day's work.  Shame the leaderboard's given up the ghost.

Make a run and post Grace

ah 4 hours, my bad, should easy make it then

cheers guys, apologies for my lazy ass,been a long day

This kid can strike a golf ball rather well.
That drive was smoked.

Putter maybe let him down.

What a ball striker though.

Doesn't half show up how awful the TV coverage is when it's all you've got to go on.  Absolute guesswork.

Oh great, it's Dubya.

Horrendous from Walker. 4 shots back taking irons off tees and three putting.

Mr 62 in a major storming home.

Wise is looking on a mission,normally you can see the nerves in the eyes,he just looks focused.he might get overtaken by a low round but he isnt looking like choking it with bogeys galore

good birdie for wise

flying now

you would thinkWalking is having major issues with his driver the amount of irons he has been hitting off the tee but whenever he has used it he has looked ok, god knows what hes thinking

Im trying to keep an eye on my 3 ball on flashscore, Round 4 3 Ball - Blaum/Mitchell/Tway - Round 4 3 Ball . Why is it showing R Blaum through 9 holes, yet the other two through 6 holes?

main board been feked all night, although just come back so hoping

Yeh flashscore must have it wrong, golf channel has them all through 6 holes.

C'mon Keith.

keith has to be winning very soon if not today,hes a bit of a birdie machine

3 hours from now would be an ideal time for him to start winning, but needs to keep the putts dropping, playing this easy you'd have to think he's still a good way short of a winning score.

what does he need to get to, -22?

Hard to tell, I guess the back 9 is slightly tougher so 22 could be good but there's not really enough danger to this track to trip up the two in front. A stern test this ain't.

Yeah in this weather every hole is a birdie opportunity.

Can't be missing those. 2 different leaderboards on the coverage had already posted him at -18 as had the website.

M Jones missing some easy tap-ins

i bet Walking is really regretting that double on 18th yesterday. damn him

Yeah, that's the achilles heel for sure.  One missed putt and he's lost ground to 4 other guys around him.

I dunno about anyone else, but I must be suffering from golf fatigue right now. Might be that time of the season. looking forward to the majors over the summer, but most of these tournaments are like, meh

still can't believe I backed spieth at 5-1.

That 8th is a joke of a hole.

Sky have got a bloody cheek calling this "LIVE"

btw good to see hideki back to form, as rhino rather suggested he might.

fancy him to win a major this summer, although tbf, I think that about at least 20 players

Got Keith Mitchell in my 3 ball -6 so far and still not ahead in 3 ball

Yep. Pointless par 3. Course might be a different test in high wind but this is not a tour level course from what I've seen so far. Good on them for making a nice course thats fun to play for the people who pay to play it, not sure about the PGA tour being there though.

Completely agree Rhino, not up to scratch at all really.  Just checked and think they have 3 more years here, might book a weekend away for this one next year.

Na looking capable of smashing someone skull in with a putter if he misses another putt

I hated the course they used to use as well. Considering the Houston Open and maybe even Colonial are on the chopping block, I'd much rather they be saved and this tourney fade away if need be. Can't believe they are moving Houston and San Antonio will be the Masters lead in tourney.

thats a shame Houston is the perfect lead in for masters

Yeah, don't really like the way this schedule is going at all but I guess it's more about the dollars than the course.

Young lad holding up well so far

It's weird how those tourneys couldn't attract sponsors. Great field next week, Houston always solid as well with everyone getting their prep in. More big names equals more viewers/brand exposure, so why pay the same price to sponsor events like this?

The Houston situation is baffling, always gets lots of attention due to Masters hype, sponsors should be falling over themselves.  Whereas this is just a nothing event.

Not happy we're losing Firestone either. Given the investment made by Fedex I can understand it though. Can't for the life of me figure out Houston and Colonial.

firestone,houston and colonial are 3 of my most favorite events! i guess that means i dont have any taste. next they will be getting rid of the matchplay

Looks like the course is getting the exciting finale it deserves.

Firestone is confirmed meng, the others aren't. Houston appears in more trouble, Boston looks dead and Tiger's tourney (not Riviera) should go. Makes sense for that one to go the most as no one plays anyway and with Riviera and Hero he has enough involvement. Colonial really should stay but concerning they couldn't find a sponsor.

is colonial played just after masters? i seem to have that in my head. if its the case i guess the fact players take a rest and everyone is feeling a little golfed out for about 2 weeks means low numbers and low tv viewers so that in turn=no sponsers

Colonial is next week. Harbour Town is post-Masters. You do have good taste if that is one of your faves, it is awesome.

ofcourse its harbour town..i just had jim furyk stuck in my head as someone i always backed that time of year so it was one of those 2 courses.

This lad is showing no nerves - great to see him play so well after what must have been disappointing at WF. If he takes it there surely can't be too many that have their 1st win after so few starts.

just before he made his first birdie i said he looked totally focused in his eyes, alot of others get a deer in headlights dazed look,especially for first win. but he had no signs of it showing at all

Leish is one of those dogged Aussies though - he'll pounce if any nerves do set in.

You're a true gent Hank. Dogged is about the nicest thing we get referred to as on here

What's all this about colonial and Houston? I also like watching those events

rhino

Once again Colonial has a stronger field than the Euro tour's biggest event all year, beggars belief they can't get a sponsor.

Actually, scratch that, no title sponsor at Colonial this year but Charles Schwab taking over for four years from next year.  Houston in real trouble though.

We talking about what events are gonna get the chop next year Hank, and we're kind of wishing this was one of them...

therhino i love the aussie accent on a woman, preferably an asian australian woman but thats just me lol

You think they can squeak this in?

We are world leaders in eye candy per capita meng. Wherever you go, glamours everywhere.

i only tend to go for asian,mixed or black girls..dunno why its who i am, ever since buying the sinitta record at about 5 years old,i was hooked/ also narrowing it down but cutting out all the white girls makes it more of a challenge!

The Aussie accent on women is a weird mix for me - irritating yet sexy

hence my user name being chinese

Think they might just get it in, might be getting a big murky by the time they reach the last but if Wise has a big lead I'm sure he won't mind finishing in the dark.

GL with that next shot Leish!

Helps both Wise and pace of play that 15 and 16 are basically pitch and putt holes.

it depends what aussie accent. There is the modern and sophisticated accent which is hot as feck. The bogan accent though, (we also call em shazzas, usually married to bazzas) is as bad as it gets.

Shows how entertaining the golf is we talking accents

That was superb tbh-  I'd still be hacking away lol

first round ive watched of this tournament and I have to say this is one sh it looking golf course, its so boring, every hole seems the same

the elle mcphearson accent not the charlene one by kylie in neighbours, that was dodgy. i cant watch the golf walker is annoying me whenever i see him

Elle's is a hybrid of god knows what meng. Def not Australian.

Warriors vs Rockets on now. Made the switch, instantly better.

Is he going to regret that let off on the par 5?

Think I might take a week off Mitchell next week as the price will be poor, so nailed on he wins by 10.

Shocker from Leish - where do you think he is most likely to win TB? putting looks to be annoying if you're on him

Got to love him in the Stableford event if he plays.  Failing that maybe somewhere like Phoenix, although if he waits til next Feb I'll have no money left to back him.

Basically I'm saying he's the new Gary Woodland.

Could do worse than that comparison TB

Good stuff from the young lad, hopefully kicks on from here.

ROOKIE Aaron WISE, the NCAA Individual and Team champion in 2016 while at Oregon, owns three professional wins at the tender age of 21 years, 10 months, 29 days. He’s now won one tournament in each of the past three years and is one of two players to win on the PGA TOUR, Web.com Tour and Mackenzie Tour – PGA TOUR Canada, joining Mackenzie Hughes.
The South African-born American, who moved to the U.S when he was three, jumps 33 places to 66th in OWGR and 38 spots to 18th in the FedEx Cup standings, both career highs.
Dating to 2013, WISE making his tournament debut at the (Holy) Trinity Forest Golf Club, is the SIXTH straight EARLY/late winner of the Byron Nelson while Leishman is tied for the TOUR lead this season (w/ Beau Hossler) for the most leads/co-leads after ANY round (6) without a win.

This was the first Nelson at Trinity Forest, 22 miles to the south and east of the previous venue TPC Four Seasons (Irving, TX), which had hosted 24 times previous, including solo host between 2008-17. Trinity Forest is the new permanent home for the event.
