2020 PGA golf tournament.
Thanks to COVID it's the first major of the season, played at a public course near San Francisco. Converted from par 72 to par 70 for tournament play. Fairways narrowed, penal rough, looks like a pretty good test, a couple of drive-able par 4's, long par 4's. Tommy Fleetwood is in with a shout, among the leaders after 2 rounds. Good luck Tommy, to hear his acceptance speak in a broad Lancashire accent..............priceless.

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
The course seems to be getting tougher. It’s an exciting tournament. Hoping for a Jason Day win. Lots of scrambling needed. I’m going for -9 to win.

Squeeze me? We support Brits at the golf. Sometimes Europeans, well, mainly Spaniards, especially when they are playing at Lytham. We might have cheered an American once [insert own reason, varying from admiration of Tiger, or preference for Jack]. We quite like Ernie and Vijay. We might even admire Adam Scott and find Wayne Riley mildly amusing but we do not generally support Aussies at golf. Explain yourself!

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Yes indeed, fun stuff! PGA have done a brilliant job setting up the shortish (72,00 yds !!) to protect against 400 yard drives. Hitting fairways and greens is the order of the day.
Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Fleetwood, Rose, Casey all in with a shout - let's do this!
If not, then gotta love Koepka. Tells it like it is, doesn't give a $hit, and a damn good player. Paired with DeShambles tomorrow I think - that should be awesome given their history. Hope he pounds that objectionable excuse for a human being into the dirt.
P.S. In case you didn't know, I am not a DeShambles fan.

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
That leaderboard is packed with talent, and dominated by US and English names, Johnson & Koepka must be favourites, but i wouldn't rule out any of the English boys, strange things can happen in the final round of majors as history shows. It should be a thrilling back 9 if the pack remains as condensed, there's every chance of a play-off, and that could well involve several players at this rate.

If Haotong Li goes on to win this, Donnie will be big time pi**ed off He'll probably call it fake news and demand a recount

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Jason Day is one of the good guys. Of course I’d like any Brit to win but I fancied day.

Unfortunately, Lytham will no longer be an Open venue, probably a finsl qualifying course.Duffer_ wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 12:44 amSqueeze me? We support Brits at the golf.

Els is a player hated by Greenkeepers, because of his tantrums on camera and Vijay Singh was an unpopular player with other pro's which I don't think bothered him.
I've backed Daniel Berger E/W @ 50's, but I'd love Tommy Fleetwood to get his first major.

Fortunately not true Huncoat. They’re negotiating a 3 Open’s deal with the R&A. There is a lack of space but there is more they can take with the nearby high school.

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Wonder if there's any chance of us seeing Fleetwood playing a shot tonight?

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Casey a shot off the lead, can he maintain his challenge? Fleetwood falling away, but Rose still in the hunt.

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
That is the reason "lack of space". The greenstaff were told last year that they wouldn't be getting it again, I hope that's changed.Marney&Mee wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 9:47 pmFortunately not true Huncoat.

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Thing is, they've always used the high school field for parking. As much as I would like Lytham to be retained on the circuit, there aint enough room to take from the school permanently without it really hurting.
Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Bryson looks hard to beat. Not one for the purists, and I know he's been a knob with rules officials recently, but I admire the fact that he's seen it differently. Thinks he can overpower the course through sheer brut strength, with enough touch and imagination around the greens. Sorry Lord Bob but I at least waited until he dropped his first shot before posting.
Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
Just dropped two in a row now - couldn't happen to a nicer guyDuffer:

Re: 2020 PGA golf tournament.
The Irish tart on BBC 5 is so bad.
Clueless.
Annoying......
... I suppose it's another BBC box ticking appointment.
... Might as well get Lenny Henry to join in.
