To be honest, it'll mainly be that, because you're playing in a match (and therefore it matters to you), you will be focusing on getting ball to target and therefore go back to all your old habits. Next time you practise, take a camera and video yourself hitting your first ball with the feeling you think you're using. I do this every time and I'm always amazed at how far away from achieving what I want to achieve I really am. It's a great way to start a range session as it immediately moves you away from the comfort zone of your 'standard' swing.

The final thing I'd say just before you do that is to mainly look at the length of the first putt. For example, if you miss an eight footer, the problem may more likely be the chip or first putt that led to that.

I always feel it's useful to remind us how even the very best in the world don't one putt all that often and that amateurs like us expect too much from our putting. Looking at your most recent round, I would argue that the three putt on 3 is balanced out by the 2 putt on 4, but you'd hope to 2 putt either 4 or 6. The only really poor putt is your first on 17 from what it looks like. I'd say your distance control from beyond 30 feet needs work, but definitely not that dead zone that Erik mentions in LSW (15-30 feet). Would totally agree that it's long putts rather than short for you.

As you say, you'll probably be able to guess pretty well. If you are unsure, this thread may help - definitely a favourite of mine: https://thesandtrap.com/forums/topic/51757-pga-tour-putts-gainedmake-percentage-stats/

Pretty much agree with all of these. I could see Pieters dropping out for Levy, but otherwise straightforward.

Ideally it's worth wiping them down after every shot, but given that I'm not hitting every wedge shot out of the centre and the difference is so minimal anyway, it doesn't bother me that much.

I'll often do that at the end of a range session to try to make that transition between range swing and course swing easier. I'll take the first nine holes at my course and try to simulate that, picking different fairways, targets etc so that I keep changing my alignments. If I feel I missed a green, I'll still play a pitch or chip and just try to land it on a specific ball that someone has duffed. The real aim though is hitting gaming shots with the range pieces that I've been working on. Oh, and I'll still use a camera to check whether it's close to what I'm aiming for. It won't be as good as the range swings, but will be closer than it was.

A little more work today, this time focusing on trying to keep the left arm tight to my chest up to about A5, almost to A6. Resulted in a bit of a weird backswing in terms of turning rates, but that'll sync back up at full speed. There's definitely progress there:

Interesting take - personally, I couldn't disagree more, although it certainly wasn't as good as Stenson/Mickelson. Definitely preferred this to the Spieth/Kuchar shootout last year as wherever you looked, someone was doing something. Also helps that it wasn't all about Spieth taking forever to hit a shot...

Well-deserved. Molinari had a game plan and totally stuck to it.

True, and I'm not trying to condone or defend it. I just think there are some fans of all nationalities that are morons and the 'oh, those European/American fans' attitude is stupid - hence pointing out the other side of the coin.

Hmm, interesting take. Let's compare one moron at this event with the hundreds of mashed potato / bababooey and similar calls at every PGA tour showing. Not claiming everyone European is perfect, simply pointing out that blanket statements are stupid. Edit: and, as others said, it sounded like an American accent.

How well has Schauffele battled today as well? Both he and Molinari are totally deserving of being where they are.

Love that it was Molinari's game plan as well - he was targeting 18 pars!

This is where we end up with a Charl Schwartzel finish and Kevin Chappell birdies all of the last four holes to win. Or something.

THIS IS SO GOOD!

Huge up and down there from Rory. There will be more 4s than 3s on 16 as players come in. For info, the run in looks like this:

These last four holes are going to be so gripping.

QFT

What a bunker shot from Schauffele that is. Absolute nightmare of a stance.

This is such good entertainment. Just needs someone to step up and win it.

That bunker shot... Jeez

Kisner suddenly cannot buy a putt - he looked so damn good from 6 feet and in yesterday

Great birdie from Rory there - boy does he need to get hot and stiff a few approaches. I'm with @iacas - I think -8 is the lowest the winning score will be.

I genuinely never thought I'd see Tiger compete in a major again - I am absolutely loving this.
