Since were entering the heart of golf season, i thought i would start another golf thread..
So Right now im watching the final round of this WGC Tourney out in Mexico and 47 year old Phil Mickelson has a 1 shot lead over a host of other players..
i think we can still mention Tiger woods in this thread but just not to make him the main topic of it

Amazingly, Phil Mickelson ..
Did end up winning the tourney in a playoff !
It was his first victory in 4.5 years ( 97 tournies)..
It is looking to be an interesting Masters, Guardian ..

Heard that, good for him. It's been 5 years, so it's about time.

Yes thanks for you reply here, Guardian..
I was unsure if Phil was playing in the Vaspar Tourney starting with round one along side tiger.. perhaps I can try to find out if hes in the field..
The Tourney site as I mentioned in another posting is only about 15 miles from me

It turned out to be a very boring final match of the WGC-
And the third place match was not much better !!

This week's PGA stop, takes us out to the Houston open... there will be no tiger woods again this week.
However the field will still have a lot of the best players participating in this event..
Tourney is set to start , tomorrow..as the first round get underway..

update :
after round 2 of the houston open... there are certainly some pretty good player milling around the top of the leader board,
but Phil is 6 shots back.. so he obviously needs a very good round to be a factor on the final round on Sunday

Last week's Houston open went to yet another playoff , which was won by England's Ian poulter..
So it was obviously another exciting finish on the PGA tour !

jordan spieth is leading the first round of the Masters by a couple of shots..
Something he has been able to do many times now in recent years ( had lead 9 rounds at the Masters)..

I saw his across the water shot. That was nice!
April 7th, 2018 at 11:24 AM
yes Jordon, i think still has a good chance to win this,
although the top 2 guys have broken away from the rest of the field a bit also ( 5 shots)
but I am thinking they will come back to the field a bit today.. Of course there is still a long ways to go ( 36 more holes to play)..

I watched golf for the first time today, and it was a little more interesting than I had expected. Watched Rory Micilroy, and was shocked at how much skill went into it. I couldn't do it.
Does everyone just wait at the last hole in the audience? I've always wondered how that works.

As far as I've seen, people get tickets to each hole, with the higher hole # coming with the pricier ticket.
