First week of "single Rory" and he's playing some of the best golf he has in two years. Hmmmmm.....

He's had eight top 10's in his last nine tournaments. Engaged Rory was playing pretty damn good golf. He just needs to get a win already.

Breaking this engagement was his best move since he joined the tour.

Most of those top-10s were backdoor ones. This is actually the first time since really Honda he's in the hunt late in the round, and on that day, he was awful and shouldn't have even been in the playoff for as bad as he played.

That 2nd shot on 18 though....so awesome. If he just would have eagled that 10 footer :(

check.

The whole timing of the win is pretty funny any way you slice it.      Presumably, now that the drama and all that goes with it is behind him - I'm expecting even bigger things out of Rory

This whole deal is making me a huge fan of Rory. I like the fact that he did this and won at the same time. Just like when he switched to Nike, he is genuine to himself and the fans.

Wishing this young powerhouse a great year! I think it says a lot about wives/husbands/GFs/BFs of high profile athletes who really assume a selfless support role in their spouse's demanding careers. Not sure Ms. Woz would be up to it being a professional athlete herself. Good on them both for recognizing it and saving greater heartbreak further down the line. Takes maturity and courage.

Wozniacki loses first set in first round of French Open to unseeded Belgian - watch this space

Ouch...

Is that like Rory losing a match-play to Brooks Koepka?

woops! I didn't see that you typed "first set." Looks like she won the 2nd set.

She's won the second set it appears, but has hardly destroyed her opponent

I'm not sure what stereotype we have for Belgians. In fairness Henin and Clijsters have given Belgium women's tennis a recent boost, but that owuld probably make the pair the most famous Belgian's in history

I think she will win it and probably do better after she gets this round under her belt.

....... or not

Wozniacki denied that recent events had affected her game, explaining that she "felt comfortable on the tee, and was achieving a good length with her drives" she did however reserve harsh criticism for the course set up, complaining that "out of bounds down both sides was particularly harsh" and "never gave me a chance to get my putter working properly"

Apparently, some anonymous sources are claiming that Rory broke this off during a 3 minute phone call that Caroline initially took as a joke. If that's true, the dude is either very strange, socially awkward, both, or has another piece lined up on the side. If you're "crazy in love" with somebody today and then decide "wait.. this is not working out" tomorrow and you break it off over a 3 minute phone call 24 hours later - AFTER you sent out wedding invitations, something is seriously wrong with someone in that relationship. Just my opinion, but that is really, really, really messed up and weird. Forget about them being a celebrity couple for a minute and just try to process that logic as a rational, normal human being...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
