The best field out of the 2 small field events this week. Of course the Tiger event will get more attention since it's Tigers event, but 3 of the Worlds top 4 and 4 of the last 7 major champions (minus McIlroy, Bradley and Oosthuizen) deserve some attention too

Donald's first event since the death of his father and the birth of his daughter, so it will be interesting to see how he plays on his return!

The senior event running alongside the main event will be a bit of fun too...

SENIORS:

10h20 - Mark O'Meara (USA), David Frost (RSA)
10h32 - Mark Calcavecchia (USA), Tom Lehman (USA)
10h44 - Nick Price (ZIM), Bernhard Langer (GER)
10h56 - Ian Woosnam (WAL), Jeff Sluman (USA)

MAIN FIELD:

11h10 - Robert Karlsson (SWE), Simon Dyson (ENG)
11h22 - Luke Donald (ENG), Anders Hansen (DEN)
11h34 - Martin Kaymer (GER), Darren Clarke (N IRE)
11h46 - Charl Schwartzel (RSA), Francesco Molinari (ITA)
11h58 - Kyung-Tae Kim (S KOR), Graeme McDowell (N IRE)
12h10 - Jason Dufner (USA), Lee Westwood (ENG)

I'm not watching Nedbank. Sorry. ;-) Work during the day. Will watch the Chevron in about 45 minutes later tonight. Maybe at 1am. When Nedbank is probably on. ;-)

Very impressive! He should win this one tomorrow without too many problems.

I hope Westwood wins a major in 2012.

He was absolutely smashing it off the tee today. On one hole, he hit driver - 7 iron where everybody else was taking hybrids in.

The course record on that track is one to frame, too. Some decent players have been round there!

Lee is playing the golf of his life. Some if the shots yesterday were just unreal.

He started today where he left off on Saturday: splitting the first fairway with a massive drive.

Westwood shot a fairly casual 73 today (bogeyed 17 and 18) to take it by two shots. $1.25 million and 34 world ranking points. Decent haul.

Westwood has been poor all season, but when he holes a few putts he tends to win. 3 wins this year, but not the season he had hoped for.

      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."
