OMG!  How can you not love this guy!  He's swinging while the guys were coming off the green!   I love fast players. 

[MuggsyB]

That was absolutely incredible!!  Well deserved win.

President Trump needs to lean on the R & A for what they did to the American contingent this weekend. Disgraceful and we need to slap tariffs on England ASAP

Srixon must be over the moon.  Long time player wins a major with their brand new driver, which has only been available to tour pros for a month, and not yet available to the public.

Tiger set the precedent.

Incredible.  No notes.

Would be even funnier if the story that Rory saw it happen and called the R&A about it turns out to be true.
I doubt it.  Makes me smirk anyway.

Having finally seen all of the video with Bryson, I think he either knowingly committed a rules violation or doesn't know the rules.   And it's very obvious.  I'll admit I've never cared for the guy, and I haven't forgotten his past douchebaggery, or that he's pretending to be someone he's not, but this is irrelevant and has nothing to do with what happened.  This isn't a selective penalty because the RNA doesn't like Bryson.   And I'm sorry but his behavior afterwards was absolutely absurd. 

My only issue with the RNA is that they should have not gone back to the spot with him, or entertained his nonsense at all.  In fact they should have told him the following:  You will tell us in the next 10 minutes if you're playing tomorrow and not be hitting any balls at the range.  Period.  No passing go, no $200.  If 10 minutes elapses with no decision?  Fine. Pack your bags.

He just wants to grow the game

I don't get the issue some people are having siding with Bryson in this particular case.   Unless it's political.  Now, I do agree that the rules aren't always enforced. Rahm threw his club and got a warning and apparently McIntyre was a conplete ass the entire 4th round with no penalty. 

I'm most upset because I really like the guy who won the tournament.  The powers that be should emphasize his speed of play vs Cantlay and others.  22 secs for him to sink that putt after Burns finished!  I love that.  Enforce the rules and the speed of play.  They just give silly warnings for slow play.

You really are putting too much thought into this. He was penalized. He lost. Time to move on.

Muggs has a 5-point plan to usurp DeChambeau.

From The Daily Drive e-newsletter:

LIV Golf 2.0 might find investors willing to back the league. It could find big-money vanity owners who are willing to buy team franchises. It very well could survive as a leaner, meaner version of itself, with a condensed schedule, smaller purses and a more modest buildout.

But even if all of that pans out, LIV Golf will have a very difficult time overcoming the Tuesday announcement that the Asian Tour is partnering with the DP World Tour and the PGA Tour after being affiliated with LIV since 2022.

Add in co-sanctioning deals with national opens like the previously anounced Australian and now some Asian Tour events — which was said to be a part of LIV's business pitch going forward — and the hurdles are building up against LIV's future viability.

The affiliate deal with the Asian Tour isn't a financial blow to LIV like the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund withdrawal, but it is a devastating one nonetheless.

So, with the perspective of being a few days removed, what can you learn from Ryan Fox?   For me, 3 things.
1.  Be a good bloke. (same lesson learned from Aaron Rai)
2.  Swing your swing.
3.  The longer you stand over the ball, the more bad stuff creeps into your brain.   When you have your number and your line, be an athlete.

Nelly embarrassed the troops in Scotland.  Will she embarrass them next week at Lytham?

Koivun gets his first in war torn Minnesota.

LIV Golf Michigan, the league's $40 million team championship, is set to be officially canceled after the status of the 2026 season finale had come under serious doubt last week, sources tell Front Office Sports.

Ah, I'll remember The Blood Money Tour fondly ... even though I never watched one second of one event.

[tower912]

Damn.  I was scheduled to be first alternate at the Michigan event.

Ryu may very well win her 3rd straight Major.

Since you posted this, 3 bogeys.

Yes.  She had a rough day but there's no reason to attack the young lady.  Korda also faltered.  Ayaka's 65 was extremely impressive.  Can Noh hold on tomorrow?
