Great to see from Day. All he needed was the confidence of a big win and now he's flying. Won't be long until he's the number 1 player in the world. Future of golf looking very bright now. Rory, Spieth, Day and Fowler should set us up for some fantastic Majors.

Most often in the majors they'll line up, but if lucky enough other games too. HIDEKI MATSUYAMA is another to watch at 22 and some good finishes in the majors (2 top tens), plus a win this year he's strong.
The women's game is strong too, Lydia obvs, but the other contenders are young as well.

Sunk my first Eagle yesterday. Holed out 2nd shot on a par 4 at Alcaidesa Heathland. Sand Wedge from 109 landed just short of the pin and bounced straight in. Chipped in for a 2 earlier in the day on the Links on a Par 3, but the hole out on the Heathland was the best shot I've ever hit on a golf course. Loved it.

Knocked in a hole-in-one on the Gold Coast a couple of years back. It was the water course of King Tutt's Putt Putt. Skillz.
In seriousness though I love the game, just don't watch it as much as I should. Follow casually and love hearing the stories about Day, have a vague recollection of him being on a "next great golfer" challenge show a few years back, Obviously they got it right.
SOC - have you had a hit at Victoria Park? Pretty short course that you can knock over 9 in about 1:15 after/before work.

I love that Spieth plays all over the world as often as he can. He's not in the class that Woods was in his heyday, but he's part of what could be a great era. Two missed cuts in a row almost mean he needs a win to retake the number one. Rory and JDay fighting for it.
IMO Spieth still player of the year

It's Spieth vs Day for Player of the Year, but hard to look beyond Jordan. Top 5's in all 4 Majors, with 2 wins, plus wins at Melbourne, the Valspar and the John Deere and if he can finish the job and win the Fed Ex it's an ATG year. Day will run him close if he wins the Fed Ex, but Jordan's performances in the Majors make him very difficult to look past.

2 majors is amazing for any golfer. But the way Spieth dominated the year until the last couple months was what gets him the POTY for mine. Even up to the week of the PGA he was the guy everyone was looking out for, gone to the dogs the last couple weeks though, which happened to coincide with Day finally taking that next step in his progression

Fowler spectacular while in contention again. Ever since that ridiculous "over-rated" article he's been amazing. Was a really good watch last night.

I have been out to Vic Park for a hit before. Some decent little holes there. It's also where I bought my clubs, and my mate works in their pro shop.
Had an interesting round the weekend before last too - went out in 50, my worst 9 hole score since juniors I reckon...then came home in 33 (only 1 under, the front 9 is par 34). Didn't see myself having 83 after the first 9 holes.

Jason Day, on the 18th with play suspended. He's had 9 birdies and an eagle, +1 bogie. If he birdies the 18th he shoots 59 WAG
Spieth aced the 5th

Yeah I think Day is really chasing the extra money in a few weeks. I heard he's number one if he wins this and Spieth or Rory don't come second. The ranking system is looking ridiculous at the moment
If Day wins, it'll be his 4th win out of 6 including a major
He will also become only the 3rd golfer in the last 20 years to have 5 wins in a PGA season
It's hard to argue that he isn't the best player in the world right now especially given Spieth's missed cuts and Rory's injury lay-off

Haha golf people. Apparently not giving a putt is worse than Diego Costa.
Was a pretty dodgy act by Suzann, nevertheless. Not like they needed it either.

Europe choking this away a bit, should still be okay, but could be tight.
