Australian Cameron Smith shot the PGA's lowest ever score to win a PGA event finishing on 34 under. Doesn't exactly sound like one of the most challenging courses on the tour, with the top 18 players scoring 20 under or better.

The 19 year old son of an acquaintance of mine won the Latin America Amateur Championship at the weekend and will now become the first player from Cayman to compete at The Masters and The Open. https://www.golfdigest.com/story/aaron-jarvis-wins-2022-latin-america-amateur-championship-laac

In Dubai I see Rory once again blew his chance of winning once again with a shocking effort on the 18th, at the moment I have my doubts if he'll win any tournament this year, let alone a major. Well done to Hovland winning it in a play off with Richard Bland. Hovland is in top form at the moment, winning 3 out last 5 starts.

Delighted to read today, that the Saudis attempt to create a Super Golf League has failed miserably. Apparently the US tour commissioner Jay Monahan has persuaded every top player aged under 40 to turn their backs on the so called Saudi golf revolution and declare their loyalty to the PGA tour, obviously it does mean there will now be increased earnings on the US tour.

Has Mickelson actually said anything dodgy? All I've read are his concerns about the Saudi record on human rights.

Nope, he just said that the Saudi regime was "scary", which is an understatement.

However, the Saudis are his paymasters in the breakaway tour.

Therefore, he's effectively now apologising for criticising the Saudi human-rights record.

I can't believe that Phil needs the money, so it's all a bit bizarre.

I can't quite believe it's towards the top of sports news, and he's apologised as if he was filmed vomiting on the grave of Martin Luther King whilst blacked-up.

Bizarrely players like Mickelson, Mark OMeara, Ray Floyd & Davis Love 3 have been in there for years yet no Tiger….I know he has had his off course stuff but for on course achievements he should have been in years ago

Paul Casey 2 off the lead after 9 holes of his 3rd round going into tomorrow, when hopefully they will be able to finish the tournament.
