When you hit 17 out of 18 greens like Fitzpatrick did, he didn't have to worry much about dodgy chipping technique.
Didn't Mint used to play off about 2 and played every shot cack-handed?

Rory going from kicking butt to NAGA and now the leaderboard is replaced by players that only their mother would be excited to watch.
Pathetic. In my view there are few things worse in golf journalism than the 'why haven't you won more majors?' question.
Majors aren't easy to win. Golfers don't hit bad shots deliberately just to irritate their supporters. Golf isn't as easy as they sometimes make it look.
He couldn't even nominate another player he wanted to cheer for. Off to LIV for that writer. Then he can whinge about DJ or Phil not winning every month.

Slightly off topic but…the German ladies masters is being played on a course that looks more linksy than the men’s Irish open. The world’s gone mad.
We know the world is mad. Check out Sand Hills GC in Nebraska. Its as "linksy" as any but its in almost the centre of USA
Get back on topic!
When I saw you had posted I thought you would probably be whingeing about how poor the field quality was at the John Deere. Which it is.
It also may be an indicator of the PGA Tour future if LIV succeed. Three weeks of 'who cares', then one week of 'we care a little bit', all while asking 'how long until the next major?'.

Found out something today. In 1968 usa PGA touring professionals were fed up with the way they were treated and underpaid, so they broke away and former a rebel tour. Who would have thought that could happen. They called this new organisation the PGA Tour.
Cinderella story, out of nowhere, former greenskeeper, now about to become a Masters champion..... It looks like a mirac.. It's in the hole! It's in the hole!
Yeah. NLU did a good podcast about all this.
I could be wrong as I listened a while ago, but the break away in the 80's or whatever was quickly shut down after Jack Nicklaus had a meeting with then CEO, expressed his concerns about their extra ventures such as the TPC network of courses and all this other money making stuff, to which they showed the contract, signed by Nicklaus himself, saying that's exactly what they were told by the players to do.
The cake and eat it too scenario is they need to treat all players equally as members, but the top guys need to be paid more as they bring in more revenue.
So they do all the FedEx stuff to funnel money up top on one hand and treat every member equally on the other.
Tax free charity not for profit whatever status has it's advantages and disadvantages I guess.
The weird thing about it all is they haven't seemed to put any other option (the other league ideas or new ones) on the table. It's just basically the same tour with more (unsold) money. Less events but not drastically. And more elevated events. Same courses. Same bomb and hack golf

Just in case people have forgotten, A Major starts today (in some views, THE Major).
Today is in fact my favourite day of golf on TV of the year, the day where we see every player tee off for the first few hours, not just the stars.
In recent years The Open has been the hardest major to predict the winner. Convention said that typical US golfers not experienced in links golf, like Collin Morikowa, don't win The Open. But he did. So I don't really have a prediction. I'll just make a few wasteful bets on my favourites, and perhaps something on Zalatoris for top 10.
Starts at 3.35pm this afternoon, with Min Woo Lee in the first group, so he'll get some early TV time.

Mito Periera at $200 to win and $40 top5 is my tip (bet) 😃
Poulters opening tee shot

I'm not sure the sprinkler impeded his stance or stroke... so yeah, he did well.
