There was a quite a meltdown by the field down the stretch. Win by attrition.

I read an article that said McIlroy is playing but I don't see his name in the field.

I think he's only playing the last two tournaments. He's skipping the first two to take care of legal matters I believe.

At the WGC HSBC Champiomship McDowell leads by 2 shots at -5. At T2 a group of people including Kaymer and Fowler. Also some bad scores today, for example Dubuisson (+4), Luiten and Streelman (+5) and again Jimenez (+6).

With the Turkish Airlines Open we're back in the European timezone. This third tournament of The Final Series has a purse of $ 7 million.

Besides last year's winner Dubuisson we'll see Stenson, Garcia, Kaymer, Donaldson, Luiten, Poulter and Westwood in the field. We can expect some really low scores on this course...

Title defender Dubuisson starts with a double bogey on the first, while Jimenez (very bad form lately) starts with an eagle on the same hole. Interesting tournament, with a lot of low scores expected.

Colsaerts is messing things up again. Was at -1, but then shot a 10 at the par 5 fourth hole, immediatly followed by a double bogey. Four players including Jimenez leading at -6 at the moment.

Jimenez found his form back, after day 1 he's leading at -9, followed by Poulter at -8. Colsaerts had, besides two Turkish amateurs and Hoey, the worst round of the day at +8.

Other notables with bad rounds: Donald (+2), Garcia (+3) and title defender Dubuisson (+5). Luiten somewhere in the middle at -2.

Very very happy for Brooks. Not only because he seems like a good kid with a bright future, and not only because he's an American fighting it out on the Euro Tour, but also because he edged out Poulter. :beer:

4. Luiten -16

5. Donald, McIlroy, Westwood -15

I thought this was over as Rory had accumulated so many points, aka $$$$, that no one could catch him. Yes, the may play golf in Dubai, but even now we know the winner. There is no competition, only a run for second place.  But i may have misread the UK papers.

Look here              http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/golf/europeantour/11234159/Rory-McIlroy-wins-Race-to-Dubai-after-Brooks-Koepka-seals-the-Turkish-Airlines-Open.html

No-one else can win the season, but the tournament itself is one very big one with an 8 million dollar purse. Anyone can win this Dubai Tour Championship.

Final tournament started today (will re-air on Golf Channel at 9am CT) as two Irishmen jumped to the top of the leaderboard. Shane Lowry and you guessed it.....Rory McIlroy came out guns blazing and both shot a 66 (-6) to take the lead in the 1st round.

    • Day 52. Trying to work on hard pan lie pitching in the rain in the yard. 
    • Did you look up any Rules before posting here? What did you learn or find? You don't get to drop (or place) closer to the hole. 16.1(c) deals with relief for Abnormal Course Conditions in bunkers. You're granted free relief for: Since you say the bunker was basically entirely full of water, you likely wouldn't get complete relief, so for free (no penalty strokes), you are entitled to "maximum available" relief. If there's a spot in the back of the bunker away from the hole where the water is the shallowest, then you can drop there. If you don't like any of those options, you can take a penalty stroke and drop out of the bunker, behind it: You seem to have played from a wrong place (nearer to the hole) and thus likely should be penalized two strokes. It doesn't sound like a serious breach, at least.
    • I feel that the stock grips on my Wilson D9's are a little thin.  The grips on my other clubs (purchased used online and sold by me a couple months ago) were Golf Pride and they looked like the wrapped version.  I will say they felt like they had a little more cushion.  I don't have particularly large hands.  Did the grips on my other clubs have more tape or was just a better feeling softer grip?  I have no idea.  Well, any brands you would recommend that have a softer feel? 
    • So this situation happened. A bunker in front of the green was full of water. My ball was underwater in the very back of the bunker furthest from the green. There was a small patch on the front upslope of the bunker nearest the green that theoretically could have been used to hit from if the ball was placed.  A drop would just roll back into the water. And this was the only part of the bunker you might be able to get a stance without standing in water. So my question is do you hit from that small front slope even though you would have to move the ball 6-7 closer to the pin? Or do you drop outside the bunker making sure you are no closer to the pin? I dropped in front of the bunker, so I had to chip over the whole bunker. Was this the right call? Also could I have moved it latterly outside the bunker, although this wouldn’t have made much difference as my ball was pretty much as far back in the bunker as you could be away from the hole.
    • I just got my shotscope v5 watch and used it yesterday. Its fairly accurate at the course I was playing so I did not use my rangefinder at all. I was able to calculate what club i needed from that.
