Do questions need to be asked of Ludvig? His Sundays in contention are almost developing into a pattern of not bringing it.

Well, I think everybody is aware that his Sunday's have not delivered yet. Plenty of time to get it right.

Certainly not anything like the same level but as a kid I remember in 86 thinking there was plenty of time and that it was a good opportunity to get some experience

I think there's room for nuance right in between the extreme takes "she'll be right" and "huge alarm bells, fraud".

That’s why it’s a question. He now has 3 or so major Sundays where at times he looks perfect but then has holes where he goes right off with poor play. Hope he wins plenty as he has the tools and seems like a great fella.

Yeah I'm not writing him off or giving him a free pass. He'll be disappointed in his Sundays and looking to improve them over his next handful of majors. I take your point that time can slip away and he isn't guaranteed to stay in contention over the next decade, but he's also 26 and not 32 so there is some time to work on this.

No one is writing him off - to me, he is looking like someone who doesn’t have the absolute psychopath competitiveness. Probably makes him a far nicer and more excellent person but does he put value on every score?

He should be in contention in every tournament he plays for the next 10-15 years.

Not unlike Adam Scott.

The more I see/hear about him, the better the story. That performance was extraordinary- all the big names were thereabouts and he was the only one who could separate.

It’s going to be an amazing achievement. To me, it’s already been fairly widely discussed. And it will only get more coverage.

Perhaps some of the reporting isn’t making it all the way down to the pits of Hell.

That's pretty impressive record by all three.

Jack's record is amazing and don 't think it will be beat

35+ straight years of playing all four majors every year…

Extraordinary.

Nice work TTS! You got a good run with Ludvig and landed a nice back door collect here.

Thanks pres, a win is a win when its been a bit baron lately, this week not a week to go silly, a couple of outsiders and see how they go, I forgave Lottie's last tournament start where she shot 13 over par and missed the cut, it was a very hard course and the wind was blowing and her form was not to bad and I remember my late fathers old saying, "Always forgive a horse for one bad run", this week Scottie is almost even money favourite in the USA but looking at the field his odds are just about right but watching him because he's not winning more often he is throwing little tantrums where before there was none of that, he keeps finding someone better at the moment and at $2.25 you'd want him to win if you've got a lot of money on him.

Won this tournament last year by 8 shots easing down, will he again find someone whom he can't catch?
Going to be interesting and also see how his mental attitude is going if he doesn't pull off the shots he goes for, really this is like Winx running in a maiden at Ballarat, but golf doesn't always follow the script!

My old man told me not to bet on things that can talk.

I like Greyserman this week as well.

Spot on re Scheffler. At $2.40 the market has him winning this 4 out of 10 times.

I hate this prick. 270 yard drives at 7 or whatever it was.

Don’t get too upset - he only hits it 291 yds now. Ranked 151 on Tour.
