WGC - HSBC Champions 2011

After Keegan Bradley's first-round 65 put him in the lead after day one, my old high school golf coach (Keegan graduated from the same high school as me, albeit 7 years earlier) sent out an email, he's going crazy. The Byron Nelson, the PGA, the Grand Slam, and now the HSBC? That would be wild.

It was ridiculous the amount of shots he left out there the first 2 rounds.

He's done sweet f-all since, so the high school golf coach obviously jinxed him

Fredrick's putting is ridiculously good. I've never seen so many 25+ foot putts holed

Bradley does seem to play with an intensity that makes him look like he could continue to do well.

He does seem pretty hard on himself - maybe not a bad thing.

The "best golfer in the world" is 2 shots behind jacobson

McIlroy had 31 putts today and still shot 7 under. Pretty rare sight

I expected and he delivered. What a fantastic performance!

• At aged 26 years and 313 days becomes the sixth youngest player in European Tour history to record ten official victories. Here are the players that were younger: Seve Ballesteros (22 years and 103 days), Tiger Woods (24 years and 324 days), José Maria Olazábal (25 years and 40 days), Sir Nick Faldo (26 years and 55 days) and Sandy Lyle (26 years and 240 days).
• Has now recorded multiple victories on The European Tour for the fourth consecutive season. Won two in 2008, two in 2009, four in 2010 and two so far in 2011.
• Becomes the 28th player on the European Tour to record 10 or more wins. Sergio Garcia was the 27th player when he won his 10th European Tour event at the Andalucia Masters last week.

Americans disappear ... and the Euros march to the top on the last day.

I'd say it's a trend.

I'll post this here since there's no point making another thread about it:

Martin Kaymer will not be joining the PGA Tour in 2012. He told the morning drive on the golf channel this morning apparently.
