    Apparently that is not a proper tee box...

    "It's not a hole-in-one, because it wasn't really a par 3," Brady said. "We were in the middle of the fairway on a par 4, and I would have had to play the whole round for it to be a real hole-in-one. It was a once-in-a-lifetime shot, that's for sure, but it wasn't a hole-in-one unfortunately. I can't claim that."

    Poor old Foxy this morning in the Dutch Open. Was playing brilliantly then double bogey on the last and in to a playoff which he lost on the 4th playoff hole (after some great golf).

    And now Steve Alker wins again on the Senior PGA, one of the senior majors too with a final round 63!

    Can anyone do an analysis of money earned pre and post Senior tour for Alker?

    Im sure it will be covered in one of the media articles about to come out. It'll be one hell of a contrast thats for sure

    @JK and the huge putt Periera sunk to force the play off.

    Do wonder if Fox could do with improving his fitness, he seems to fade late in his rounds and in the weekend....maybe just a coincidence.

    Alker is killing it.

    @KiwiPie

    this shows his seasonal earnings, late 2021 onwards is a different player.

    To steal a quote seen elsewhere, I've seen stronger fields playing for a meat pack and a sleeve of pinnacles at my local.

    Really can not get excited about this.

    @JK Especially given the format - team golf, 54 holes and... a shotgun start?

    Hard to build suspense when every group finishes at the same time and the winner holes the critical putt on the 6th.

    Just seen the prize money for the 1st event - over $100K dollars for the person who finishes last. You had to finish top 30 in the Masters to earn that much. Can see why some of the old timers are jumping into it to feather their nests until they can milk the Champions tour

    @canefan RATCHANON "TK" CHANTANANUWAT is a 15 year old amateur.

    Assume he is still up for buckets of cash.
