2018 European Tour

[FuzzyJuzzy]

Three rounds into his first event since October and Rory is only one behind the leaders and has registered just one bogey in 54 holes. Hope he wins, and has a cracking year with some major wins. He’s still my favourite player on tour.

Been a great tournament so far. All the way to T9 the top players shot -5 or better yesterday, and some real talent stacked at the top. I think Matt Fitzpatrick could be the dark horse here, he has been playing great this week.

Been good to see Rory tidy up his wedge and putting game, but I'd like to see a few more rounds of it before I get too excite.

Yeah I agree. Some low shooting but the wind got up late and is expected to be strong tonight. Looking forward to the final round.

I'd like to see Fleetwood defend. He's such a pure striker of the ball. Love watching him play.

Agree, would love to see him rise up the rankings this year.

For sure. Wouldn't mind if Ross Fisher took it out either. He's been playing well lately and is due for a win. Looks like he's started well in that direction too.

[Jazz18]

Looks like a two horse race now yeah?

[dee cee]

Tommy!!!

[wazamac]

You Beauty !!!! BOOM

[Jazz18]

Yes Tommy! What a back 9! Damn he is a flusher!

[Hard_Pan]

Fleetwood was putting on rails on that back nine. Truly amazing.

Its probably me, but give me a Euro Tour event over a same same PGA tour event every day.

The courses are generally more interesting. The PGA West track just did nothing for me...

Yeah I agree for the most part. There are some cool stops on the PGA Tour but I agree. Euro tour for me for the most part.

[WBennett]

Perhaps as the Euro coverage focusses more on the actual golf. The Swiss Alps course might be an average track, but it looks fun. The Scottish and English links events are magic. The Italian Open at the Monza circuit is narrow and tight and tough.

They all have different personalities, where US just seems to be narrow fairways all day, and the same course on repeat 3 weeks at a time - Desert swing, Florida swing, West Coast swing etc.

I can't stand the pro-ams, where its celebrity interviews on the 17th at Pebble 1st, a lifestyle show second, and the golf a distant 3rd. Show me more of Spyglass Hill or Pebble.

[BUSHY]

If you listen to Geoff Ogilvy speak about it he’s fairly critical of the PGA tour courses they play.

Monotonous and boring golf.

[FuzzyJuzzy]

Rory with the 36-hole lead. This is shaping up as a great start to the season if he keeps this up. I’d absolutely love to see him complete the career grand slam at Augusta in April.

The way he’s started, if he wins at Augusta watch out for the rest of the season. He looks ready and like he’s finally done the work over an offseason.

I'm ready for the barrage of abuse but I'm going out on a limb and saying Rory will never win the Masters. That back 9 that year has ruined him for Augusta National for life. Aside from that, his ability to read greens is not good enough for Augusta over 72 holes.

[FuzzyJuzzy]

Jeebers - Pat Perez is 8 under through 9 with two eagles and four birdies!

Would love to see him mow Rory down. He's far more interesting as a person and a player than most of the robots on your.

It’s hard to abuse someone who is quite obviously delirious.

Not every great player has won the masters. Why is it delirious to think that Rory won't?

[BUSHY]

I’m not saying he will or he won’t but the two statements there are a bit extreme.

Especially the part about reading greens. He reads them good enough to lead by 4 through 54 but not 72??

He will be in good company if he doesn't, three different majors but no Masters, Trevino, Hagen, Tommy Armour

It's been the case for him lately in any tournament. He doesn't putt well for a full 72 holes and he misses putts by A LOT at times. Another guy that sticks in my mind that's the same is Stenson. They can both go on birdie blitzes but can miss by miles at times. I was giving Rory's stroke the benefit of the doubt but maybe he can read it fine and his stroke just turns to shit.
