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.......

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
