Yeah not bad, a final round 61 to win a WGC event.

Shame Pieters didn't win though. A big win will come for him soon though, he's too good not to win one.

 

[Anil]

yeah pieters will win one sooner rather than later...

what are everyone's picks for quail hollow?

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Come on Rory, JD, Spieth show, is bloody love it on my long weekend

 

[King Pietersen]

Interested to see that from 2019 the PGA will move from August to May, with The Players moving back to March, and the BMW PGA moving out to September.

Hoping Spieth or Rory win although I'm happy so long as a lot of the big names are in contention. Could see Pieters having another good week!

I struggle to get up for this major, which isn't something that can be said for me when I look at Lexi Thompson Instagram account.

I've gone big on Koepka for some reason, just think he looks good, going well so far, got two free 10 pound bets too because of it, which I have to use by next Monday, not sure whether to back his rivals or go on the football

 

[King Pietersen]

THUNDERBEAR! WAG.

[King Pietersen]

This might be the best promo for anything ever. WOOO.

 

[Anil]

day, oosty, kisner, hideki all having good days...spieth may still sneak into the weekend but he is more or less out of contention so is rory, the two betting favorites coming in...

 

[Anil]

Horrible mistake by Day on 18 to drop out of contention

 

[grecian]

Put my saver tenner on Hideki, on the day he forgets to putt. About my only chance here is Reed each-way, knew I hated this tournament for a reason, Kisner will so be a typical bland American winner to fit in with all the others that have won this crap slam.

Oh I'm not bitter........

 

[grecian]

Pfft, that shouldn't be allowed, dock him for clearly treading too heavily.

 

[grecian]

Oh looks like Justin Thomas will be the bland yank to win. I hate you Hideki.

Dufner
Walker
Thomas
Micheel
Beem
Toms
Sluman
Tway

and now Thomas becomes another one-time Yank winner who we can forget about almost immediately.

#still bitter

 

[Burgey]

The (comparatively) unknown Yank needs to be a legitimate betting option on the PGA every year.

TBF I'm being horribly unfair on Thomas who could well have a decent career, made some money from Reed so I only lost quite a lot, not a lot.

 

[Anil]

thomas is not really a lucky winner at all, why would you class him with micheel, beem, toms et al...wouldn't be surprised if he finishes with a few majors and a hall-of-fame resume...

 

[Anil]

rory may not play again this year

 

[King Pietersen]

Justin Thomas' 2017:

PGA tour win (3)
Round of 59
Hole in one
First -9 in US Open history
Major championship

Not really sure how that's remotely comparable to Beem or Micheel.

JT is awesome. Was a superb final round that really saved the Championship from going down as one of the dullest in history. JT's shot into 17 under the pressure was sheer class. Great win, will be the first of many for him.

Hey I said I was being stupidly bitter, yeah he's clearly potentially better.

Interesting that mens golf has younger Slam champs than mens tennis nowadays. Strange switch round.
