Well the start of the Nordea Open isn't that nice with 4 bogeys and 6 pars through 10 holes. Hope he can gain some form for the US open

However, I'm going to follow this thread!

Well, like I said, probably making a dog's lunch out of the pronunciation but...Joost Luiten...Juice Newton...no? Tap, tap. Is this thing on?

Yea, he has a little bit this dorky look... but when he starts talking you notice he really is not. Very confident without getting too cocky, realistic, sportsman and actually quite down to earth. And

Joost, rhymes with toast. Along with plenty of great golf and socializing, I'm proud to say that @MacDutch and the rest of his merry band taught me how to properly pronounce Joost's name, first a

Yes very surprised by that first round from joost. Really thought he would contend this week as it looked like he was getting back to top form. Just shows what I know lol

Thanks @Silent ! 3 under through 11 now, so +3 as total score. It is unfortunate he had such a bad round yesterday, playing 4 rounds would have been nice as preparation for the US open.

Probably a certainty that he won't make the cut. Costly trip.

Agreed. Certainly a probability too. :) Joost is a streaky player during the rounds but ironically he reliably makes cuts because he birdies enough to offset mistakes. Not this time though.

Due to Luiten his (lack of good) performances this year, starting today he's outside the top 50 of the world for the first time since long ago. At January 1st he was actually 29th. Unfort. Luiten failed to gain a top 10 place so far in 2015. Big difference with last year, when we saw a lot of top 5 finishes.

Gaining some good results now is getting even more important, starting with the US Open this week. I'm not too confident giving his recent results, but it has to (and will) turn around one day so let's hope it going to be at the US Open. Game on!

Yes agree, I think Joost is a bit unstable, going from good rounds to very bad rounds. Unfortunately he always has one very bad round during his tournaments this year and it is hard to recover from those bad rounds. I hope he can post a good result at the US Open and in the tournaments thereafter in order to come back in that top 50.

Joost Luiten with a very nice 2 under 68, in a tie for sixth right now. Made four birdies to two bogeys.

Indeed, amazing round and inside the top 10 after the first day. Unfort. because of the time difference and his late tee time I couldn't follow it. Hopefully a similar round today, starts early at 7.40 local time.

Great stats @Silent !!

Nice round by Joost, let's hope he can follow up today with another good round to aim at the top 10. Luckily he starts early today, which makes it easier to follow for us across the lake.

Another solid round (-1) after an impressive back nine (-3), taking him to T7 so far after 68/69 scores on the first two days. Game seems solid, including his putting. Most impressive is his driving accuracy at ~90%. Hopefully heading towards a great weekend.

After day 3, Luiten is still inside the top 10. Didn't have a very good day yesterday, bogeys on 16 and 17 really were too bad. Hopefully a good round today and at least a top 10 finishing position while hoping he can sneak into the top 5.

Nope :(

Sad 4th round for our man. +4 through first 8 so far.

Not a good round on day 4. Actually, two bad rounds in a row with a total of +9. Not finishing inside let's say the top 15 in a major is not a shame, but being inside the top 10 for three days and a serious amound of time in the top 5 even, it's quite disappointing how the last ~21 holes went (+7). This pretty much sums up the season Luiten is having so far.

Looking forward Luiten needs good results fast. If I'm not mistaken after his next tournament the result from the Irish Open in 2013 (T2) doesn't count anymore, in four tournaments his T4 at the Wales Open and in six tournaments his win at the KLM Open. A lot of points to lose!

      Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
