Is anyone watching the Volvo Masters? Due to the fact that there aren't many golf events around at this time of year it seems quite enjoyable to watch. What made it better is that englisman Justin Rose scored an ace on the par 3 third .

Apparently there is a big controversy with some big names not playing like Ernie Els. He claims the tour should know what his prior commitments were and should have scheduled the Volvo around his schedule.

Justin holed out on the third hole? :-o Impressive. I saw him, when he came to portugal 3 weeks ago to play the Portugal Masters. He has a great swing!

Mr. Rose appears to be in the midst of really breaking out now. I know he hasn't won much, yet, but it appears that he's going to change that in the very near future. I see a great jacket possibly in his future.

My impression was that he said that after being criticized for not showing up. A lot of media and players were saying he should have been there but he had a 3 year contract to play in Asian which he chose to honor. I think he meant that if people wanted to claim that it was so important for him to be there, then they should make sure he's not scheduled to appear somewhere else already.

Well...European Tour were the one who screw themselves. The tournament els attend instead is the Barclays Singapore Open. The date of that tournament were announced by Asian Tour on 23 May 2006 however the date of the Volvo Masters were only announced by European Tour 6 months later. European Tour has been blaming here and there but who is the bully who arrange event in India and Korea who I believe it is in ASIA without the involvement of the Asian Tour. Give them some credit, after all they managed to project themselves as a victim. Wow. Impressive. I agree with Angel Cabrera comment to the press, Players should have their own right to decide which tournament they want to play in. Singapore Open isn't a small tournament, it is the flagship event for the Asian Tour with this year the additional appearance of Mickelson, K J Choi to the list of Westwood, Els, Cabrera and Adam Scott. Both tournament have their loses, Volvo Master have no Westwood, Els, Cabrera (who qualify for the Volvo Master), Singapore Open in return lose the appearance of some talented Asian players who chose to appear in Volvo Masters instead, Garcia and Harrington. What I sick of is the constant negative remark thrown at Els and the rest of the European players, move on and hopefully this sh*t would not happen the next year again as both tournament should be the tournament that no one shld miss.

    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm. 
    • Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention. 
    • No disrespect felt, but since you did apologize you can disrespect once in the future with no guilt.
    • So do a few thousand others. 😉 Something like 14 players born in any year will have PGA Tour status for 3+ years. What drew you to this? He's not from where you live, right? Family friend?
