Cant argue with that. Both were high drama events with many plot turns and great story lines. I think the players would value the golf more as an individual accolade and medal chance. Maybe in a match play format as opposed to stroke play would enhance it a bit.
Theyāve the neighbourhood terrorisedā¦ I was the only one to follow, catch and give a kicking to one of them.

Earl is a fantastic name though. Imagine calling your child earl in Ireland in the 60s or 70s

Heās defending champion. BBC say he has gone out very fast. Normally a blistering finish. Itās under WR pace.
Italian fella making a move
