Oh dear, this is some choke by the Chilean chap.
Hopefully it turns out heās a Pinochet fan to stop me feeling sorry for him.
Sport can be cruel. Nearly flawless for 71 holes and committed hari kari on the last tee box. What was caddy thinking. Knock down a 5 wood or 3 wood like previous hole or one before that. Hopefully he recovers from the disappointment.

A play off between Justin Thomas and Will Zalatoris. Thatās about as interesting as the 2026 FA Cup final between Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia.
That was horrific. The shot tracer didnāt work but the swing was ugly. Poor cunt
JT is a pure US PGA man like Davis Love, Steve Elkington, Jason Day, Paul Azinger and David Toms. Good enough to win majors but not good enough to win the majors you want to win.
Sounds like your typical Dublin hurler

Fair play to Thomas. Too good a player to have only won one.

I thought the dubs could do with a bit of a lift
Well they wonāt be climbing steps any time soon.

I would think so. You donāt get many professional golfers who stray outside the right wing bubble.
Rory McIlroy is apparently considered to be a communist by most golfers on the US PGA Tour.
David Duval was for many years considered similar because he had apparently voted for Democratic candidates.
Billy Andrade and Paul Goydos are the only two golfers Iāve heard of who were actually up front about them being Democrats.
Goydos is the only golfer Iāve ever heard of who is genuinely left wing.
When the climate is right these fellas will all fuck off to the Saudi tour. I wouldnāt feel sympathy for any of them.

I was intrigued to see that former PGA Tour professional and current Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee has adopted wholesale the rhetoric of human rights campaigners about Saudi Arabia. He seems to mention Jamal Khashoggi, Mohammad Bin Salman and grotesque human rights abuses in every second tweet he makes and has gone in two feet over the ball on Greg Norman, Lee Westwood and Phil Mickelson.
He is of course correct but itās a hell of a lot easier to attack such people when the television channel you work for stands to lose out from the Saudi tour getting off the ground and I donāt recall him being in any way vocal about āvaluesā as regards what happens in his own country.
Itās a bit reminiscent of how Gary Neville was the face of moral outrage over the Super League - again, he was correct on that - but then six months later was very awkwardly trying to make out that Saudi Arabia buying Newcastle might prove to be a way of improving human rights in Saudi Arabia - an argument he clearly doesnāt believe - all because Sky had taken the decision that Saudi Arabia buying Newcastle would improve their āproductā.
At the end of the day everybody in a high profile television role is a company man, thatās why they are on it.
Heard this last week, I thought fair fucks to him, even for a rich man a ā¬100m is a lot of dough. Turns out he did in his fuck turn it down 
āFortunately for Nicklaus Companies - and Mr. Nicklaus - the Company was eventually able to convince Mr. Nicklaus to stop exploring a deal for the endorsement of the Saudi-backed league,ā part of the lawsuit reads.
"The Company essentially saved Mr. Nicklaus from himself by extricating him from a controversial project that could have not only tarnished his legacy and reputation, but severely damaged the Nicklaus Companiesā name, brands and business.
āIf not for the efforts of Nicklaus Companies, Mr. Nicklaus could have been pilloried in the news media for accepting payment for what could be characterized as betraying the PGA Tour.ā
