  1. Clark's putt lipped out!!! Sheffler wins and becomes the first player in The Players Championship history to defend the title. The man is unstoppable
  2. Clark with a close putt to force a playoff or Scheffler becomes the first to win 2 Players Championships in a row. History with one putt
  3. We're set up for an epic final round, including a repeat of the back and forth battle between Schauffele and Clark we had in round 3. Who gets it done?
  4. Sure seems like it. I must remember only to compliment players I haven't picked in my line up
  5. Some BIG names at the pointy end of the leaderboard after round 1 This is already the strongest leaderboard of the year! The Full leaderboard can be found here Note: Jimmy Stranger, Chan Kim, Eric Cole, David Skinns, Ben Martin, Sam Stevens, Sami Valimaki, Charley Hoffman, & Harry Hall have a few holes left when play for the day was called and are yet to complete round 1.
  6. The PGA Tour just posted the full 8 minute clip of it. Adding this to it: 'yelled about turtles'
  7. And we're away!! Rory is off to a great start. He's birdied 4 of his opening 5 holes. He's driving like he won't miss a fairway all day
  8. J-Day is a solid pick. He's been playing well and he's definitely found a bit of the old Day that used to dominate
  9. G’day Golfers, Major season is so close you can practically smell the blood, sweat, lipped putts, and tears. It all ramps up from here starting with, the pseudo 5th major, The Players Championship. This, in my humble opinion, is one of the best tournaments outside of the majors, played on one of the best courses outside of Augusta, and, to take things up a notch, it is The Players 50th anniversary this year. It's shaping up to be a great weekend of golf. Let’s get stuck in. But first, an awful golf joke for your arsenal. What time is it when an elephant steps on your golf ball? * Time to get a new golf ball! (Truly awful that one ) As mentioned, The Players Championship is in it’s 50th year this year, and boy has it seen some incredible action of it’s half-century run. I mean, you could say it’s a tournament that’s better than most: One of my favourite recent memories is on the final leg of Justin Thomas’s victory in 2021. On the 18th and final hole of the tournament, Thomas was in the lead as he pierced his tee into the ground and nestled his ball on top for his final tee shot of the tournament. He hit a low hook which, at least on the shot tracer, looked like it was heading directly for the water. Luckily it stopped short of lake and Thomas’s reaction is priceless. The Players Championship is played at the stunning TPC Sawgrass (Stadium Course) located in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. Established in 1980, and home to The Players Championship since 1982, TPC Sawgrass is often seen as the masterpiece of golf course architect virtuoso, Pete Dye. TPC Sawgrass is a par-72, 7,275-yard course with about as much water as the pacific ocean. By far the most famous hole on the course is the island par-3, 17th hole. Although only 137 yards (125m) long this is a trick ypar-3 which has been the undoing of many a great round at Sawgrass. Club selection and a close eye on the weather are critical here as the many trees around the hole cause lots of swirling winds and unexpected ball flights. It is estimated that TPC Sawgrass fish out over 100,000 balls a year out of the water surrounding the 17th; that number would be double if I was a member. Last year, Scottie Scheffler dominated the field here winning by 5 shots while hardly breaking a sweat. After shooting a 65 on a difficult Saturday, Scottie distanced himself from the rest of the field for the inevitable win. Worryingly for everyone else playing this weekend, Scottie has swapped to a mallet putter and seems to have figured out his one flaw in his game. Field Highlights · Scottie Scheffler – I haven’t mentioned Scottie in ages…. Oh, wait. Well, of course he’s going to be the talk of the town around this event: defending champ, current world number 1, won last week. Scottie is in prime position to win again at TPC Sawgrass and become the first player EVER to defend his title at The Players Championship. That’s how hard this tournament is, in it’s 50 year history, no one has ever won it twice in consecutive years. If Scottie putts like he did in the final round last week, it’ll be very hard for anyone else to rain on his parade. · Min Woo Lee – Let him cook! Cards on the table, I’m incredibly biased towards Min Woo Lee because he’s a hometown hero. However, bias aside, Min Woo is a genuinely a player to watch this weekend. The boy from Oz is still chasing his first victory on the PGA Tour but he’s heading the right way towards achieving that goal this year. He’s currently tee’d it up 5 times this year and not missed a cut with an agonizingly close taste of victory coming only a few weeks ago at the Cognizant Classic where he finished T-2. Lee also performed well here last year, he went into the final round in solo-2nd place 2 shots behind the eventual winner, Scottie Scheffler. However, a final round 76 saw him tumble down the leaderboard. · Viktor Hovland – Hovland has been pretty quiet this year despite not missing a cut. He has yet to find a top-10 with his best finish coming at The Genesis Invitational with a T-19. Hovland did well here last year. He started the final round tied for 14th place, but a final round score of 68 saw him shoot to a T-3 finish. I’m sure Hovland will be a regular amongst the top of the leaderboard quite a lot this year, he’s possibly just a bit tired after a very successful year last year with 3 wins. · Wyndham Clark – The rise of Wyndham Clark has been anything but meteoric, however, no one can deny he’s playing some pretty damn good golf at the moment. He’s already in the winners circle this year after a win at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and he finished solo-2nd at last weeks Arnold Palmer Invitational. On top of all that, he also won his first major last year at the U.S Open. If anyone is going to give Scottie Scheffler some trouble this week, my money is one Wyndham Clark. The field is stacked and the rest of it can be found here. We’re set up for an awesome event this week at The Players Championship. From all reports we seems to be safe yet again from an appearance from Gold Man, so that’s a huge plus. Can anyone stop Scottie Scheffler from picking up his second win of the season and becoming the first player EVER to defend The Players championship? Let me know what you think? SPLATT
  10. For pure entertainment, my go-to is Ron Chopper Golf. https://youtube.com/@ronchopper?si=63av--FMs5eysuJk He's a local teaching pro from Perth who started this persona during covid and now it's taken on a life of its own. Really great stuff and consistently hilarious.
  11. Scottie Scheffler wins by 5 shots!! He also shot the round of the day at 6 under par. The closest to him was Theegala and An with 4 under. Interestingly, look at his putting stats for that final round: If he keeps this up everyone else is screwed Congrats Scorrie
  12. He sure did. I love the chaos that hole 6 brings
  13. Uh oh, Scheffler has a mallet in the bag and he's now leading. Good luck everyone else
  14. I went with some big hitters this week
