In round 3, in a possible first on a major tour, H. LI doubled consecutive par 5s, 12 & 13. Obviously most of that is the rarity of back to back par 5s but a pro going 7 7?

 

Not sure if spectators were again giving him unsolicited swing advice . 😂

From tour suspension to tour winner...

Wonder what his appearance fees for those 2 events are? You know he isn't doing it for free.

Could be an interesting dynamic. Based on the AUS members on here that golf crowd seems very pro 54 and in turn critical of Rory.

 

Fantastic venues.

[iBanesto]

New meaning to taking relief...

 

Love Colsaerts.

Rory McIlroy set to star in DP World India Championship

 

McIlroy said: “I’m excited to not only tee it up in India for the first time but also visit a country that I’ve always wanted to explore.

 

“I’m proud to play in the inaugural DP World India Championship. I’ve always enjoyed playing a global schedule and as I have previously said, there is tremendous potential to grow golf further in the country. This is a great opportunity, and I can’t wait to play in front of Indian golf fans.”

Wow...Rory going all over the place post-PGA Tour.  India, Middle East, Australia...assume the Irish Open as well!

[WorkItBothWays]

Another good start from Joost hoping he can see it thru to a win as he is overdue.
