The Goose

Your clubs should never be tough to hit. You should always be playing with clubs you are comfortable with. Why are you playing with them, because you think you should? I'm 32, and I still play with the clubs i had in high school... wish i could change them but i can't afford to. But when i can afford it, I'll be getting comfy clubs!

Aye, but they were fairways he wasn't aiming for... As is probably obvious from my name, I'm a big Goosen fan... his front nine today... par at one... birdie... then three bogeys . then three birdies then par at nine! Crazy stuff but he's striking the ball well. Mickelson reckons that next week's winner will come from this week's field... so who is it going to be?

He misses his home... after what? 3.... 4 days? Is he 12 years old? Sky Sports (UK) are ripping Watson to shreds. They've just interviewed Brendan Steele about his experience of his first Euro Tour event and he loved it and they are predictably putting that up against Watson's. Fair enough if you don't like something, he's been petty and there's no other way round it. He's not a superstar, he's a good player - nothing more, nothing less and if he doesn't turn up next year for it... will the French Open suffer as a result? I really wouldn't have thought so.

He is a superb player as you say Deasy, and I do wonder if this swing change was a result of how he played at Augusta and his general record there. A lot of the experts (or so called experts) said he couldn't succeed at Augusta as his shot shape was totally wrong for it. It'd be sad if one course on the tour forced such a big change. I think he's going to be the player McIlroy has to beat if he wants to be the best, incidentally. That's how highly I rate Kaymer.
