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

Hmm, in that case Wikipedia is incorrect en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Open_(golf)

I hope not. Anyone here knows for sure?

Also on the PGA Tour website http://www.pgatour.com/fantasy/major-qualifiers.html it's says for the US Open top 60 OWGR. The Open Championship however is top 50 at the same date (May 23rd). Either way work to do for Luiten, if he still has hopes for the Ryder Cup he needs to play there ánd get good results. Long shot.

Looks like if Luiten is not in the top 50 for The Open, he still has some other possibilities to get there (finishing high in certain ET tournaments).

Luiten close to a hole in one at the par 4 (!) 11th at the Volvo China Open. Ended up with an eagle

At the moment at -6 / T2.

Luiten wasn't able to play three good tournaments in a row. After two 2nd places he finished just outside the top 40 in the Volvo China Open. Now a few weeks rest, and then he will play Irish Open ('Rory's tournament' for his foundation) followed by the BMW PGA Championship.

The next 2 weeks Luiten will play the beautiful tournaments Irish Open en BMW PGA Championchip. A lot of points to gain there. In his schedule Luiten putt the US Open after that as well; he needs to raise (just) a few spots on the OWGR to be allowed to play there. With the amount of top 5's he's having this season it should be possible...

Joost will have to bump up past some stiff competition. Fabian Gomez, Jamie Donaldson, Martin Kaymer.  Plus guys behind him like Jason Dufner, Graeme McDowell.

I haven't been following much golf on the international scene but Jaco Van Zyl must be fairly hot on the European Tour, because I am not familiar with him. 

But a big finish like a top 5 in those events you mentioned can definitely bump you up enough to do it. In 2015, Joost went to the BMW PGA in 45th in world rank, finished 11th, and maintained his 45th ranking. I'd have guessed he would move up a tad after that.

A missed cut could really hurt him. He missed the cut a couple weeks before the US Open in 2015 and dropped 5 spots. I think he'll need good finishes and need the other guys listed above (his real competition for the final spots) not to do anything too brilliant.

Besides the points he (and others) can gain, you should also consider the points he will lose. Because of a bad 2015 year, Luiten loses less points (almost every week) than McDowell, Kaymer, Donaldson, Dubuisson, Lahiri and Kirk; all guys nearby him on the ranking. Meaning that if all of them have a similar result than Luiten in the next two weeks, he will get more points compared to his current amount of point than those guys will. Pieters and Dufner the other way around. Anyway, in some ways his bad 2015 helps him now in climbing the rankings. Either way he needs good result(s), a top 5 might do the trick.

Well, this was one very bad tournament play from Luiten. Hopefully a good one next week.

Luiten remains 65th on the OWGR (Kaymer went from 64 to 58 after his T5). Important week for Luiten with the BMW PGA Championship coming up.

Luiten still in the race for a top 5 he needs so bad. Looked like a dramatic day, but in the last couple of hole two birdies and an eagle. Going low tomorrow and that should do the trick.

Yep, plus two guys ahead of him in the world rankings (that he needed to bump out of the way) did well: Jaco van Zyl and Martin Kaymer. I think Pieters nudged him out too, so that'd be at least 3 guys he needed to gain on. Dufner having a good week too, so Joost really needed a special week or two.

So how's the long-term outlook on Joost looking? Are we entering twilight of career territory? He made it on the scene in 2007ish, I see. Dip in 2010, but back playing well by 2011, and has essentially been top #100 since. But does he have that next gear in him?

      Too much Sharpie on the golf ball?

      By emaw4ever1 ·

      I use four different sharpie markings on my golf balls. A single black dot on each side near the number, flourencent yellow along the alignment, and a series of 5 to 6 dots on the opposite side from the alignment. I've found that after applying markings, it's best to hit em with a hair dryer and allow 24 hours to cure before playing. This should cut down dramatically on transfer. It's also a good idea to make sure your sharpie's are fresh, not old.

      Second Cortisone Injection Today

      By Themightyoz ·

      Going to go against the grain a bit here and say that pain isn't as severe as we think it is sometimes.  A lot of times if something has been there for a long time it is really neurological.  Unless a sports med tells you it's likely to tear I would keep going with physio until a doctor tells you not to.  Good luck

      Code of Conduct Not Entered as Local Rule - Still Valid?

      By cdh79 ·

      I just wanted to post an update here.. so the person telling me that information was incorrect. They mixed up two of the courses that we play during our competition rounds and the one we played last weekend was NOT a non-smoking course.  I was also wrong in thinking that he was a member of said club, but he wasn't.. he's a member of a completely different club in our tournament pool.   The course that we will play next weekend is the one with the strict smoking ban and they have stated this clearly in their local rules.  The main reason for this is that there is a very high risk of forest fires in the area where this course is located at, so it's not to promote "health and wellbeing", but purely based on safety.
