Yes, David Lipsky, from California via Northwestern Univ defeats GStorm in one hole playoff in Switzerland Omega Masters. Lipsky shot rounds of 64, 65,66,  and 67 to catch Storm on final day. Also, tied for 3rd was Brooks Koepka, another USA guy.  But only 3 or 4 from America entered in tourney so, like often, the yanks took most of the money.

Lipsky gained from his time at NU,  getting good coaching from Pat Goss, and probably Luke Donald, who also an NU grad and Evanston resident.  Lipsky caddied thru school to help pay the bills.

I say Hurrah. for hard work , fortitude and good parentage. :dance:

Euhm, no. They took about € 550K with the total purse being € 2.300K. Just the four highest players from England alone already took more for example (€ 560K).

OK, Silent, i could be mistaken.  Let's say 'proportionally' the 4 USA guys took home more individually than the 26 UK guys who made the cut. And i'm sure that GStorm is happy with 2nd place since he did win the new car.  One guy from NED won 20K but his sole compatriot went home empty.

I'm keen to follow the KLM tourney in Holland and see how the local lads perform at home.

We don't have a lot of good golf players (at this moment), so I don't expect miracles. Most Dutch players in the field this week are amateurs I guess. But always cool a tournament on home soil.

On topic, I watched Lipsky take the win live on television. I think it was nice, he seems like a cool guy and I liked him to win it over Storm. However I think Koepka is better, he will show some nice things in the future I guess. And a really cool guy as far as I can tell.

      I got scammed one time on FBM so I don’t trust it.

      Yeah I’ve tried it but I don’t feel very comfortable doing it like that. Isn’t there like a website where I can do it so it’s safer??

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
