Well that's that

Brilliant stuff from Scwartzel in last few holes

Scott's inability to birdie the par 5s on the back 9 really cost him but given he shot 67 anyway, no real cause for complaint

Grecian, Did you get on mate?

Yep. I only got 90s and my profits have been drastically reduced by all the frantic laying off I've been doing.

Wish I hadn't bothered now

 

[grecian]

Talk about grand style.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Wtf. All the best putts saved up for the last two hours.

Congrats Karl

 

[grecian]

Hey, I think I'd rather do Day's wag, so he wins there.

Just seen his first 2 holes of the day

Are you ****ing kidding me?

Yeah, 1&3, I think, but it was a decent start. Actually didn't get the run for a bit after that, particularly on 8, and a few putts that looked in.

What can you say, that was probably one of the most thrilling Sundays I've ever seen. I was a bit disappointed with the finish, wanting Tiger to win it, or at least see a playoff, but your've got to give it to Charl for making birdie on the last four holes at Augusta.

incredibly wild sunday...just showcased the amount of talent that exists world-wide right now...disappointed that tiger couldn't blaze through the back nine like he did going out...but good finish for him after the season of horrors he has had so far...what an appalling collapse by rory! just like dustin johnson at pebble beach last season...now let's see if he can be as resilient as dustin for the rest of the season....

well done charl, well deserved! and well done to the three aussies for mounting a serious challenge....it's only a matter of time before one of them wins here...especially day...a t2 on his 1st visit, that should do wonders for his confidence and he is only 23!

 

[grecian]

Mcilroy doing well in Malaysia, good on him, he will be back, in a big way.

 

[Anil]

yep...3 majors to go, can easily see him win one...

 

[grecian]

Manassero wins it, second tour victory, and he's not 18 yet.

Every time McIlroy was under pressure in Malaysia, he produced a horrible duck-hook or really poor putting - it was a complete replica of Augusta with lesser opposition

Immense talent and seems like a lovely young guy but I wouldnt back him to win a major anytime soon

Sad news - Seve Ballesteros passed.

Sad news - Seve Ballesteros passed.

Feared this was coming last time we saw pictures of him - the man who made golf a young man's game - at his best an absolute magician with any club in his hand RIP

 

[grecian]

Yeah, great shame, incredibly charismatic guy, and probably the best short-game ever. R.I.P

 

[Son Of Coco]

R.I.P Seve. Grew up watching him play, was brilliant to watch. Very sad end to a wonderful life.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah very sad indeed. Great player, magical shot maker.

 

[Quaggas]

RIP Seve. 54, but a full life.
