    A veritable "who's that? "of world golf, until you get to 15th...

    A bit harsh on former world number one Luke Donald. Also top money winner on PGA tour and European tour in same year apparently.

    I guess you’re always a nobody unless you win a major. Kind of fair.

    yes, actually a few quite significant names in there. Quite an international flavoured leaderboard there

    Some really shite scores.

    Cam Smith currently limping home and will have 40+ on the back 9.
    DJ and Dufner both shot 78, Speith not much better with a 76.
    6 players shooting 80 or more...

    @JK was it Speith who needed this to also pick up a career grand slam?

    Bit unfair on Keegan Bradley the current US Ryder Cup captain and former major winner, he won the PGA Championship back in 2011.
    Matt Fitzpatrick is also a major champion, he won the US Open back in 2022.

    I stand by my statement.

    Fuck all real names in that lot. Seriously, only golf nuffys are going to know those guys you're trying to present as household names. And even you nuffys would have to agree with me.

    Am still delighted Foxy is tied for two.

    I imagine Foxy is playing with a bit less weight on his shoulders now since he won last week and has that exemption on the PGA Tour for the next couple of years so knows he doesn't have to worry about trying to keep his card and the freedom that comes with that.

    The PGA quite often has a different looking leaderboard to other majors.

    I can see where you are coming from. Sad reality is that the US pro's get pretty much so all the media attention. Way it always has been.

    You'd certainly be aware of Matt Fitz, MacIntyre, Donald, Noren & Hojgaard if they were Yanks. They are genuine big names, but even if you take them out, there's quite a few in there not overly famous. I've never heard of 6 on that list. Mind you, my golf watching has fallen off a cliff since LIV.

    Speaking of LIV .... where are the big name LIV golfers? Rahm & Bryson look in the hunt still ... as for the rest ...

    Looking likely Scheffler gonna pick up another major.

    Foxy hanging in there, too far back now unless he shoots 60 and other players falter.

    Good to see Adam Scott up there too.

    Rory McIlroy and his fans after The Masters: "Rory is the greatest golfer on the planet."

    Scottie Scheffler at the US PGA "Hold my beer!"

    A Top 20 finish would be fairly decent for Foxy here to be honest. He said prior to the tournament this is 5 weeks in a row of playing and is feeling mentally and physically drained.

    Scheffler three clear going into the last round. He's surely not going to do a Greg Norman and fuck it up from here?
