Terrible result- Clark is close to the worst bloke on Tour. Was hoping his recent poor play was settling in to be permanent.

Congrats to Scott Hend on his win on the PGA championship tour.
Steve Alker runner-up.

This gives a bit of an insight into the "glamour" of being a pro at Hend's level.

It's a tough life pro golfer but Hend has carved out 19 wins and a reasonable career. He's fourth one the all-time list for wins on the Asian Tour. Would be interesting to know the type of nest egg he has, just to give aguide to what 19 professional wins can provide.

On the bright side it's a good day for the TPC Craig Ranch Locker Room.

Apparently this course spent $25m USD on "renovating" to stop 30 under scores. The rough was cut lower than my local public's fairways FFS

Yep - the dickheads dropped the $25 after being told they only needed to drop $12.

Initiation fee has moved from $75k to $150k.

Reportedly the course in Austria is a disgrace. Players will be on carts on a hole or two because the place is so hilly

Interesting, I'll have a geezer after the footy {Hawthorn vs St Kilda}, with Wiesberger and Sterne winning on this tour in 2026 and having a look at this field, virtually anyone could win the Austrian Open, backed those players 15 odd years ago winning tournaments, the quality/depth on the DP World Tour at the moment is at an all time low.

Will be interesting to see what sort of status they receive when the new schedule starts in 2028.

Olinda Hilly?

Olinda Hilly?

Those who know know

At a guess I’d say Austria can produce bigger hills than Olinda? It’s apparently in an area described as the St.Andrews of skiing which sounds pretty hilly.

Played a pennant match at Emerald once. I recall a low fence on the right edge of a fairway designed to catch balls off the side hill.
