Daly, Monty and Couples were grouped together ... looked like the Champions Tour.

They all came in under par though.

Rory made a big leap today with a 65, going all the way to the top along with Thomas Bjørn. Lots of interesting names on the leaderboard, should be a good weekend. T1: McIlroy, Bjørn T4: Kaymer T7: Siem, Westwood T11: Stenson T18: F. Molinari

I'd say Rory is the best player in the world right now, and I expect he will be the official #1 within a couple of months. It will be great to see him battle Tiger over the next few years, assuming Tiger gets his game all the way back.

Perhaps being in a country where booze and drugs are less normal agrees with him. He may be drying out in more ways than one. What a great story of redemption he could be if he really did get his act together.

Like I said on the Qatar thread, lot's of booze in the middle east ... and though people are definitely a lot more discreet, there is no shortage of drugs. Look at where Dubai is located on a map ... it's surounded by heroin and hash producers.

I've had a few pints at that golf course myself.

Maybe Daly's just getting his shit together.

Today Rory's accuracy off the tee reminds me of TW in the last few years.

Westwood's game is looking sharp. But my pick for the win is Björn.

I only caught the last few holes today, but I assume Rory wasn't too sharp ... he's only 2 strokes out though.

Good to see Daly doing well ... he gets a lot of sponsor's exemptions on the Euro-tour, so if I have to watch him play, he may as well put on a show.

Oh boy was that an embarassing chip shot on the 18th hole for Lee Westwood, no wonder he doesn't win majors with that short game under pressure.

I wasn't able to watch today ... so did Westwood basically give it away on the last hole?

      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."
