It's time to get some good results again. This week Luiten will play The Scottish Open, next week The Open. Hopefully he can get his form back and manage to play good, now he's back on European soil.

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

Fantastic round today, best of the field (-7 / 63). After yesterday's +1 a great recovery and back in contention in the weekend. This got to be good for his confidence as well.

Again a good round (-4) and in contention for the win tormorrow. T3 at the moment and just 1 shot behind. We had to wait too long for this kind of golf, but good to see him in contention again.

4th at the Scottish Open. Excellent result at this strong tournament, and this got to do some good for Luiten his confidence as well. Next: The Open.

What's your thoughts on Joost for the Open? You think he has a chance to contend?

That's hard to say. Based on his previous performances at majors I would say 'no'. Based on his track record in links tournaments and in windy conditions I would say he might have a shot. His win at KLM Open was at a links course, his win at the Wales Open was in windy conditions, same as his 3rd place at Volvo Matchplay, he performed great in the first two rounds at US Open, last year at Doral in bad weather etc. 3 weeks ago Luiten said he felt like his form is getting back and he might start to perform towards his top again. One tournament later he is in contention for the win untill the last hole.... So based on that I hope for a really good performance this week.

Luiten through the turn with 9 straight pars, despite having a GIR of 100%.

Not very good at all, players are killing the front nine, and the back nine is tougher. :no:

Yup. It seems like his putting is not that good today, since he had a putt for birdie at every single hole looking at his 100% GIR. On the other hand those greens are huge, no idea how much feet he had to cover.

And now Hahn is.

Either way, not good at all. Most players are tearing this course apart right now. Ah well, fits the rest of season but was hoping after last week Luiten would be 'back'.

Well, the weather forecast for his round tomorrow is not that good. I will keep my fingers crossed as well, but my expectations are not very high.

93% GIR after 15 holes, yet being +2 with no birdies is a little bit a mind****. I know GIR is not everything, it also counts how close you are to the flag, but still...

He had decent chances yesterday, he was within 10 feet 6-7 times. you can't make them all but at least he should have made 3 off them.

36 putts is just way way to many, look at the stats off Speith same amount off GIR's but 9 putts less, and 7 strokes better score

His putting.... in his update at his website Luiten starts with 'I didn't play that bad'. It made me fell off my chair. Putting is part of the game, and if you miss every single chance you get (which were a lot) you played bad. No need to sugercoat it.

Hopefully a good recovery in round 2. Maybe we should hope for bad weather all the way for everybody, that might be his biggest chance to make something from it. We'll see... so far it is another disappointment in a major.

      I don’t know why my swing got so vertical there. That wasn’t normal.    What did you mean by point 3? I get the hip turn portion.

      Spend Less Time Over the Ball

      By JetFan1983 ·

      Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.

      By saevel25 ·

      Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question.
