Champions Tour/Senior Tour "Chit Chat" Thread

[Hawkeye77]

It looked really tough out there yesterday.  Looking forward to watching some of this later today - too much going on to invest four to five hours.  I heard Westwood caught a flight home last night and is now hurrying back for a fourth round, he was seen talking to Bland after the round - that Bland is such a practical joker.  😀

Westwood too tired to go 72 holes... 

[StoutKing]

Unpopular opinion.  I liked the old Congressional better.  This course looks forced.

The final round of majors has always been tough for him.

Man, this Cabrera guy can really golf his ball! Where'd he come from?😁 Seriously though, I could watch him swing a club all day. Effortless and powerful. Just steps up to the tee and stripes it!

Cabrera 🌶️🌶️ 

All he does is win majors.

Cabrera is such a good ball striker.  He just doesn't get out of position.  Padraig's gotta be kicking himself for going three over in the last four.

A real golf genius. Hypnotic swing and touch.

Amazing that he was out of the game for 3 years. Excited to watch him on the Champions tour and glad to see him turn his life around.

Look out, Angel is on a roll having won two Champions Tour majors in a weeks time. No one's done that before. That is some serious talent.

Angel C

 

Best swing in the game for someone without a neck.  I remember in his PGA tour days, he was the only over age 40 player with 120+ clubhead speed.  I’m pretty sure that was without speed training or Gym Rat life.  It does not seem like incarceration hurt his game.

After his wins at Augusta and Oakmont and now this win after a 3-year hiatus, it's pretty damn clear, he's a natural.  

 

A pure hitter of the golf ball.

El Pato deserves a special exemption into the US Open. Has won the last 2 majors and the hottest player in the world. Past champ at Oakmont as well

I love watching Cabrera, I always think back to his final 7 iron to 3 feet on 18 in the 2013 Masters only to lose to Scott in a playoff, what a talent.

Comeback POY?

El Pato is a legend! Will never forget him making a birdie on that 300 yard par 3 at Oakmont on sunday in 2007

I hope Kjeldsen does well on the tour. He debuted last week at the Senior PGA with a top 10 finish.

 

One of the best strategic players out there.

Des Moines does golf well, congrats to Miguel Angel Jimenez.

Living in Illinois, watching this tournament on a really neat looking course, and seeing the Des Moines livability commercials sure makes it tempting to relocate😂

Sorry, we're all full 😄

I was at the Classic yesterday. If its possible, the TV coverage doesnt even show quite how tricky the course is. Its even better in person. The revitalization a couple years back really made a ho hum golf course into a gem.
