Luke Donald for sure. He's been on fire for this entire tournament and I don't think Kaymer's going to be able to top that.

It's a tough one, both players are solid and pretty consistent. Neither seems to have any problem with confidence or nerves either. Donald won his matches pretty confidently, he's also got a slight advantage in age and experience. Kaymer is probably overall a better player, but Donald is really good, even with his distance being shorter than the best. Fabulous iron player.

6 and 5 vs Hoffman

2 and 1 vs E Molinari

3 and 2 vs Mannasero

5 and 4 vs Moore

6 and 5 vs Kuchar

Kaymer:

7 and 6 vs Noh

20 holes vs Rose

2 and 1 vs Mahan

1 up vs Jimenez

1 up vs Watson

Luke is a Brit, but he's now been a US resident for years, and plays full time on the US PGA Tour, so he doesn't quite fit in as a European player.  He's more of an American player with a funny accent.

He was amazing.  He never trailed in a match, and never saw the 18th hole.  One of the better week long performances I've ever seen.

Let's see if they pick him for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, then.  (I'm joking, for those who think that Fourputt was serious.)

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
