Well done for a great week and for fronting up with the interview after such a disappointing 72nd hole. Many others wouldn't have spoken to media afterwards 👏

Project Droog6 days ago

Next time, go for it. Laying up is for 18 handicap golfers. Not the best in the world. That's like being a 6'8 NBA player scared to dunk a basketball.

Keith Burson6 days ago

Feel for the kid and hope this doesn't define his career. Hindsight is wonderful but I genuinely believe he shoud have gone for it, worst case if he hit in the water was a 6 with every chance of a 5 & playoff. Regardless wish him well.

bad caddy maybe, the caddy should have advised him to hit a 3 wood

Not quite on a par with Carnoustie....but you are needing a 4 to win... laying up is a shot of a coward....Jack hitting a 1 iron over the water at 15 at Augusta....thats how you win tournaments my friend..

Brian Kiely #TheGolfAngel🪽 #BeARayofSunshine ☀️6 days ago

Opportunities to win are few & far between for most golf pros. As a result, when in contention to win an event, so many adopt a cautious mindset of trying not to lose the tournament rather than the mindset of going all out to win it. That is their downfall. #RiskReward #Wentworth

Ryan Fox says the way he played the final hole to win The Open with a birdie was the best hole he’s ever played in his life. He also said he told his caddie on the tee he was going to take it on and try to win the tournament right there: “Yeah, definitely the first part. I mean, I hit two shots exactly how I wanted to hit them. I didn't feel anything for the putt; everything was shaking that much. I was just happy to hit it somewhat near the hole, and to see it go in was incredible. “I did say to my caddie, Dean, on the tee that we were going to take it on, that I was going to try to win the tournament, and I'd live with the consequences if I stuffed it up. To go out there and execute, that drive is not a very comfortable tee shot, obviously, and to hit it in the fairway and give myself a chance was huge. “Then I landed on a good number. I think I had 160 metres to the hole. The breeze was a little down off the left. Obviously everything is a bit jammed up there, so it was just a solid 9, and I hit it exactly where I wanted to hit it. I think I screamed to it, "Please be good," in the air, and it was. “To cap it off with a putt -- everyone practises on the green, I guess, you've got to a putt to win a major championship, to win The Open. It's not like that in real life. It's not a very comfortable feeling. It's certainly very enjoyable when you see it go in.” What a fantastic attitude and a great example of why Ryan is now the Champion Golfer of The Year.

“It was a lot of fun out there, it’s a really trick and a really fun golf course to play especially with the Irish weather. I’m just getting used to the wind and the rain, it was fun. “That bogey on the 13th was a pretty bad bogey. I felt like that kind of helped me get back into the present as I got a little bit unfocused there. I know I was hitting the ball nicely, keeping it under the wind so I just did that for the last few holes. “It’s definitely a good challenge, you’ve got to hit those good tee shots and keep it under the wind. Left to right wind, right to left wind. I was talking with my caddie about every shot into the wind is 100x [more dramatic] - if it’s a bad shot, it’s a really bad shot and if it’s a good shot it’s so nice to see, it's sexy.” Solo leader Joaquin Niemann reflects on his opening round 65 🎙️ #AmgenIrishOpen

You know, I was by no means kind of free and clear and was nowhere kind of close to having the job done, but I was right in position. You know, Amen Corner, without really hitting a bad shot but just not good shot, not committed enough on maybe 11 shot specifically, it was kind of like two saves. “There was a lot of club and it was not -- and it was a bit of a safe lie and I kind of felt it in the fairway with the wind direction and just wasn't able to really trust that one in there. “Yeah, because I was really in control. First ten holes I felt like I was -- yeah, I was. And the mentality was to run through the finish line not just try and get it done.

After the round he was incredibly apologetic and fully owned up to his poor etiquette: “Thanks for reminding me of that. I got a flier on my second shot that went long. It's not a good spot. Just out of frustration, I tried to make an air swing, just over the grass, and I wasn't looking, took a divot, and unfortunately, I hit a volunteer. “Yeah, it hit him, and unfortunately it hit him in the shoulder and then the face. Which I couldn't feel any worse. That's why I was there apologizing. I need to somehow track him down to give him a present because that's inexcusable and for something that could be completely avoidable. “Whether it was my intention or not, it was just not good.” Jon still shot an opening 1 under par 69 with birdies on his last 2 holes to be just 2 shots off the current lead.

🗣️ Immediate reaction from LIV Golf UK presented by JCB champion, Lucas Herbert: JERRY: I don't know where to begin. I don't know what I just saw. Was there a consistent theme to the internal dialogue that led to this kind of performance this week? What were you thinking? HERBERT: I don't know. I think last week gave me a lot of confidence that I can mix it with the best guys. Just wanted to really carry that into this week the best I could. I think I got out of my own way the first two rounds and I started thinking about it yesterday. Yeah, it was just good to play like that today when I was being pushed by two of the best players in the world. JERRY: I remember vividly following you when you won your first event on the PGA TOUR in Bermuda. On that final hole, you were visibly nervous on your second shot. You looked like you were immune to nerves all week long. How does that come about? HERBERT: I think it was a bit of a trick in hiding it. I was definitely feeling it out there. I can only do what I can do. I was able to take care of what I needed to do today pretty well to get me over the line. I knew it wasn't going to be a day where even par, 1-under was going to get it done for me. I knew I had to go out there and get it. Just kept pushing myself the whole way, and here we are JERRY: Did you ever hit some shots, notably the bunker shot in addition to so many others this week, where you just shook your head, like, I can't believe how good this is going? HERBERT: There's definitely a lot of shots -- I can think of the first shot on 10, I kind of pull one, and you're asking for it to get a good lie in the hay, lands in the rough and kicks all the way down there, you get on the green and make eagle. It was one of those weeks, just when you needed a good break. I think of the 6th hole today up the hill, the par-5, it finishes half a foot inside the short stuff and I can get it greenside. I'm looking at the lie, a foot right of that, and it could have been a load of trouble. I played great this week, but also, I got a lot of good breaks, which is really nice. It's good to take advantage of those when they come. #LIVGolfUK | Ripper GC

Rory McIlroy says the way he beat his first-tee nerves was to picture the ball in the trees and walk the worst case all the way to its end. "I say this all the time. It's counterintuitive to a lot of people to do this, but I do. If you're trying to overcome anxiety or nerves or on performance, I do try to think about, well, what's the worst that could happen?" "I'm not gonna die on the golf course, thankfully." "I used to have, like, first tee nerves, like, big time. I would struggle on the first tee. And so I would say to myself, well, what's the worst that could happen?" "So if you hit it in the trees, okay, then what do you do? You go up there and you figure it out, you know, you're skillful enough to hit a punch shot out of the trees and, you know, get it up to the green and get it up and down and make a par and move on." "For whatever reason, imagining, like, the worst-case scenario, give me a level of comfort, because I felt like any worst-case scenario that I could bring up in my head, I'll be able to deal with." "Especially on the first tee for me... if you get nervous on the golf course, you get tight... it gives me a sense of freedom. And like, if I can swing free, that's when I play my best golf." "So whatever thought process I need to get into to get there, whether that's imagining the worst-case scenario." "I think I'm not standing behind a tee shot and visualizing myself hit a bad shot. Like, I'm visualizing myself hitting it where I want to. But I think just even before I get to that point, thinking, well, what's the worst that can happen?" "And then if the worst that can happen isn't that bad, it's like, well, that's okay. You'll be able to manage it." What I find wild is that he never once tries to calm himself down. He walks into the scary version instead, all the way through the punch shot and the par, and the nerves lose their grip because nothing is unknown anymore. The thing you are dreading shrinks the same way once its worst version has an ending you have already seen. - Rory McIlroy (Rory McIlroy) on The WHOOP Podcast (WHOOP)

And so I would say to myself, well, what's the worst that could happen?" "So if you hit it in the trees, okay, then what do you do? You go up there and you figure it out, you know, you're skillful enough to hit a punch shot out of the trees and, you know, get it up to the green and get it up and down and make a par and move on." "For whatever reason, imagining, like, the worst-case scenario, give me a level of comfort, because I felt like any worst-case scenario that I could bring up in my head, I'll be able to deal with." "Especially on the first tee for me... if you get nervous on the golf course, you get tight... it gives me a sense of freedom. And like, if I can swing free, that's when I play my best golf." "So whatever thought process I need to get into to get there, whether that's imagining the worst-case scenario." "I think I'm not standing behind a tee shot and visualizing myself hit a bad shot. Like, I'm visualizing myself hitting it where I want to. But I think just even before I get to that point, thinking, well, what's the worst that can happen?" "And then if the worst that can happen isn't that bad, it's like, well, that's okay. You'll be able to manage it." What I find wild is that he never once tries to calm himself down. He walks into the scary version instead, all the way through the punch shot and the par, and the nerves lose their grip because nothing is unknown anymore. The thing you are dreading shrinks the same way once its worst version has an ending you have already seen. - Rory McIlroy (Rory McIlroy) on The WHOOP Podcast (WHOOP)

After opening rounds of 67 and 68, Justin Thomas has shot his lowest 36 hole total of the season to be T3 at the Truist Championship. After the round, he said this is the best he’s felt since his return from injury: “Yeah, it's definitely, I would say so. I mean, I played really well last week, I just putted horrifically. I had a very tough time on those greens. But I played really, really, really well at Augusta and I just had zero to show for it. I drove it well, I felt like I hit a lot of good iron shots. Just was kind of one of those weeks where I couldn't get anything going, couldn't make that putt or get that ball up-and-down that I needed to to either keep momentum or get momentum. And that stuff just kind of, it wears. And a lot of people I think that's the difference of winning and 6th. But that's not, unfortunately, not the case. So I felt like I'm close, but I've really been pleased the last couple weeks how kind of stuff I'm working on to where it's going to feel better about things.” Justin is 2 shots back of the lead held by Sungjae Im and he’ll be looking for his 17th PGA Tour win this weekend.

"I thought I was still behind (on 17), I thought Zander was still on 19 (under) - I wasn't really looking at boards, to be honest. "It was a long way for me, I had a five wood in the bag, it was 276 and I needed to hit a little draw on there to get the distance. It just came out as good as I could, it ended up great - three, four feet away - and yeah, it was one of the best shots I've hit. "It's been a tough ride. A lot of injuries, a lot of hard things that I've gone through but to get back in the winner's circle is... quite unexpected today, to be honest. "I thought I was one behind playing the last but then got on to the 18th green and had a quick look at the board and was quite surprised. "They were hard times, I didn't think I was going to get through a lot of them. Three wrist ops, a disc replacement, hip surgery, I've been through it all so I'm pretty happy. "One of the main goals was to win with my children actually seeing it - the oldest is 13 soon, it's been pretty much that long so it's nice to eventually let them see me win. "And then I suppose just to prove to myself that I can still compete at this age, after all I've been through. I've had a lot of injuries, I've probably been out six or seven years with injuries. I've been out here 24 years I think, but with those injuries it's only been 16, 17 years. Richard Sterne after victory in Belgium 🏆 #SoudalOpen

An emotion post round interview with Paul Casey, he reflects on his round "There was so much (to enjoy), maybe saving some of them pars coming in late, but birdie on 18 though, that was the highlight of the day with the great Swiss crowd. I love this place, I really do, so it's a wonderful day," "I'm 49 now, so I'm not sure how good everything is. There's ailments, for sure. Yes, there was a wrist problem earlier in the year, but I bounced back from that and actually play some really good golf when we went to New York a few weeks after, but I wasn't sure, I mean, thought that could have been the season. "There's always stuff. I think everybody out here's got stuff going on, but I honestly feel really good and I feel somewhat fresh, probably because I haven't played that much golf because I've missed a bit. "It's obviously good enough to shoot some good scores so I'm happy with it. "This is now home. I now live in Switzerland, so it would have made an awful lot. It feels like it feels like a home week for me. "And tomorrow, whatever happens, I hope I win and I'll be playing really hard, but I'll make sure that all my prize money as well is going to the charity and the victims of the fire here in Crans Montana, so I've got a lot to play for tomorrow." #OEM2026

Russell Henley had a great back and forth with a reporter about Bryson DeChambeau’s ruling at The Open yesterday: “Well, I think it's tough. Every shot is so important. It's tough in the moment to take it no matter. But I would rather know that I did something wrong and be penalized for it than -- I'd like to know. It's unfortunate, but I think everybody should be held accountable for the same rules. “The issue with that to me is the fact that he's on TV every shot. If I played that hole yesterday, you might not have seen -- and I did the same thing, maybe they don't penalize me because maybe they don't see me do it. That's the tough part; he's on TV every single shot.” The Open
