What does everyone make of this event? Not affiliated to any tour and apparently no world ranking points for it, but a huge prize fund with $2million for the winner!

Rory McIlroy continuing his superb form of late with a bogey free 64. Probably wants to stuff Westwood since they are playing together and seemingly they aren't on good terms...

The website leaderboard isn't working but a bit of google search gave me this incomplete leaderboard:

Mcilroy -8

Mahan -7

Harrington -5

Casey -5

Poulter -5

A. Kim -4

Li Chao -4

Westwood -3

John Daly -3

Goosen -3

Yang -3

Karlsson -3

Schwartzel -2

I know the PGA tour is not happy about it the event, especially since 16 Tour players are competing.  It's run by IMG

Yeah same. It's the best field this week yet we are stuck watching that 2nd rate thing in Malaysia. I couldn't even tell you who's winning on that. The Andalucia Masters has been extremely interesting though. It's playing like a major with just the 4 players under par and the cut being +7 for top 50 and ties. I hope for a Sergio victory which would definitely confirm he is back!

Homepage of site: http://www.shanghaimasters.com.cn/en/index.asp

And leaderboard: http://www.shanghaimasters.com.cn/en/Live.asp

Website can be slow at times and the leaderboard seems to go on and off though. They can afford to give $2 million to the winner yet can't afford a properly working website!

4th time this year that Rory has led after Round 1,2 & 3 (Dubai Desert Classic, Masters and US Open).

Rory and AK really going at it head-to-head today. One shot in it approaching the turn. It's a crime this isn't on the box.

Also, Rory has some fine form going. Since the PGA Championship he has played 5 events (I'm not including the Grand Slam of Golf for obvious reasons) and has gone:

3 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 1

Good omens for next week

AK putted that one like me! Oof. Not feeling his new hairstyle, but it is nice to see him playing well again.

Some more final round coverage. Hitting the flag with your approach to the 1st and ending up with a bogey must be a tad frustrating.......

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I mean there has to be some thought. For eg., something like 'soft knees and wrists' at set up and maybe a dynamic 'left arm to chin' as a trigger to start DS. I have these one or two anchor thoughts and have served me well. In fact, my wildest swings are the one where I have no thoughts or if I forget to walk thru my anchor thoughts. In contrast my best rounds are where I am consistent with the anchor thoughts.    OTOH, if I am running my entire half hour lesson (hypothetical) with some pro that I had last Saturday or whatever before every swing then I'm probably in trouble before I even get over the ball.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By iacas · Posted

      Two bits. Bit 1 The NCAA's appeal of Brendan Sorsby being granted a temporary injunction will not be heard until February, so there will be nothing to prevent Sorsby from playing the full season and potential CFP.  Bit 2 The Big Ten Conference will hold a meeting and is expected to ban all of its athletic programs from playing Texas Tech in the regular season. Georgia has done the same. The SEC will meet to consider a similar ban. Fellow Big 12 members TCU and Kansas State are spearheading a similar ban, but the conference charter might not allow it. Meanwhile, Big 12 athletic directors are meeting this week to explore what options the conference might have.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By iacas · Posted

      No, but I'm also in disagreement that golfers have no thoughts over the golf ball, and/or don't ever think I've met someone I truly believe is thinking nothing but "target" or something on most shots.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry
