Well, hard to say but he's having a pretty good season so far, gaining about 25 places on owgr in the last few months. His current ranking is still the result of a bad 2015. Hope he can recover from that and take the final step into tp 50 again.

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

Luiten will play in the Austrian Open now, last chance to qualify for US Open. Last two times he played there, he was tournament winner once and a year later T2. Game on :-)

Starting Thursday Luiten will play the Austrian Open. If he wants to play in the US Open, he should either win the tournament, or finish (solely) 2nd. Well, at least he knows what to do.

He's done it before, right? Let's go Joost.

Luiten eager to return to winning ways

Quote

Joost Luiten is hoping to convert his excellent form this year into an overdue victory at this week's Lyoness Open powered by Sporthilfe Cashback Card. 

The Dutchman has already registered eight top-15 finishes this season, including back-to-back runner-up performances in Spain and China.
Four-time European Tour winner Luiten also boasts a sensational record at Diamond Country Club, having won this event over the Atzenbrugg layout in 2013 as well as third-place finishes in 2011 and 2014.

"It's good to be back," said the 30 year old, who currently lies ninth in the Race to Dubai.

I think he needs to shoot 67 or even 66 to win.

You're probably right. Ofcourse a win would be awesome after two second places this season already, but top 2 (maybe, just maybe top 3 is also good enough) in order to qualify for US Open after all would be amazing.

Luiten shot 4 birdies in the last 6 holes, but lost too many shots before that. T6 finishing position and no US Open.

Officially Luiten didn't qualify yet for The Open, but it's almost certain he'll play there because of his Race to Dubai position (inside the top 10 now):

Quote

Top 5 and ties, not otherwise exempt, inside Top 20 in Race to Dubai tru BMW PGA Championship

Almost all players in front of him are already otherwise exempt.

That means that after this week he'll play 4 tournaments in a row, something he doesn't normally do. All in Europe though:

- BMW PGA Championship

- France Open

- Scottisch Open

- The Open

At the BMW International Open Luiten finished T16. A little bit disappointing since being inside the top 10 at Sunday morning. 36 holes in one day was too much for him. 

At the Race to Dubai now 11th, and if I'm not mistaken he's now officialy on the entry list for The Open.

 

This week the Open de France. Same course as the 2018 Ryder Cup, and for the upcoming Ryder Cup double points this tournament, meaning a lot of big names present.

The National course in France,one of the most beautiful and challenging courses in Europe. This will be the 100th Open de France.

      Day 137 - Upper back was tight today so I did some more pitching work. Really working on letting the club fall instead of forcing it.

      Day 39: Same thing as previous post, with a 5-iron for about 15 minutes. Feel pretty good about progress so far, so spent another 20+ minutes working on short game shots, which I have been really struggling with on course lately.

      Day 316: mirror work for a while. Working on getting my hips more open and my hands down faster in the downswing.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      My short game is no longer a dumpster fire. It’s bordering on being the best part of my game at this point. I still need to stay out of the bunkers but I’m starting to hit shots to makeable distances (if only I could putt). I’ve pretty much gotten the three releases down. My feels for the releases: Drive the handle forward. I haven’t used this one too much lately. Left hand pulls the club. This is my standard motion. Right hand pushes the club. I use this occasionally for flop shots. I’m still in the process of learning how the ball reacts on the green with different shots so there’s plenty of room for improvement. The contact is clean so I’ll be able to dial it in with experience. The most important thing is to slow my tempo down. Way down. I need to bring the club back slowly so that momentum doesn’t put the clubhead in weird places. Not trying to create lag around the greens. Full swing has kind of fallen off but I haven’t practiced much lately. I’ll probably try to get some time in before the Ohio outing.
