Someone was selling a variety of new balls at the local Nelson auction house, recently - they were going at a rate of a dollar a ball. So, I have a new arsenal - they're a bit mismatched, but that don't confront me none.
Aside from that, I suspect quite often I don't want to find my ball!

The putt!

@Cyclops I saw him get interviewed after 2nd or 3rd round of this tournament.
He said he has lost fear, or was more relaxed, so was prepared to take the slightly riskier shots after the first win.
Also remember seeing him say after the first one he was relaxed as a sportsman of his age to know he could play in USA for a couple of years pretty well set him up.Gee, why didn't anyone post that earlier?

No worries Dan ... Just feeling ignored
Heard him say winning his first the other week has made him relax. Paraphrasing, but he's not afraid of hitting a bad shot any more, because the pressure has gone.

Yeah devastating for Tommy. Such a deflating finish.
Keegan throws a massive spanner into the Ryder Cup though. Clearly one of the form 12 American players, so does he pick himself? Does he stand down as Captain? Surely the latter as the idea of a playing captain is both very entertaining and very outdated...

He will likely qualify as one of the automatic picks now anyway as I think since he won this recent event it puts him up there amongst the top six now.

It's Open week!!!
Royal Portrush has the honours of hosting and on the Dunluce course which is pretty dam tough. Having said that, Shane Lowry was a runaway winner there last time (2019) at -15, 6 ahead of the next best.
Already fizzing, yet 4 or so days to go!

Going to be a great week. Plenty of interesting narratives - can Scheffler get it done outside of the US? Is Rory back? Is Rahm back, or did he ever even leave? Is Xander alive?
Much like at Oakmont, feels relatively open, could be a left field winner. Especially if conditions are tough (forecast is for a bit of rain but not high winds).
