Not need to when you eagle the 18th like that to tie the lead.

Plus the putt on the previous hole

True that.

 

Funny story about him having so many shoes he had to rent a place just to store it.

 

When his wife found out about this place via a bill she thought he was having an affair with another woman.

With a crazy long name... TK Ratchanon Chantananuwat.

 

I wonder if TK stands for something... 😅

There’s a famous Sri Lankan cricketer who’s universally known as “Steve” for similar reasons

Some of the West Indians had beautiful names like Eldine Ashworth Elderfield Baptiste

 

Anyway, playoff goes on

 

Didn’t realise that Aphi has been around for so long 

 

Makes me feel old

Good playoff so far.

 

Some clutch putts from both.

Svensson wins in only his 14th appearance on the ET/DP World Tour.

 

[tomjas]

Good tournament 

 

Nice to see Aphi back & Svensson looks to have some game 

[Hankshank]

Nice to see a home town boy winning… he has done remarkably well, starting his tour career last year on Challenge with a win and hasn’t looked back since. Two runner-ups before this win on his rookie season. And the way he did it. Players from my home country normally tends to be shaky down the stretch when in contention, but Svensson didnt make mistakes at all. 
 

Interesting to see where he will be going. I like his playing style better on the PGA tour than that of Last year top 10 Björk, being a long hitter and obviously with a really strong mental game.

Lots to like about his game

 

Has a solid grounding in the game via college, amateurs then pro & hits the ball a long way

Googled it, as i was also curious w.r.t. "TK" nickname.

Track for this week’s event in Delhi is apparently a monster

Shame that some PGAT players of Indian descent such as Theegala and Bhatia didn’t make the trip 

 

Tiger was hugely popular in Asia from the outset due to his Thai heritage and there’s enormous commercial opportunities in India

Immediately recognised that as DLF Golf & Country Club in New Delhi Gurgaon / Gurugram, India ... those riveted high bunker walls = a signature feature!

Interesting banter/ chatter with this mic'd up pro in Singapore? e.g. getting "Delhi Belly" in Singapore

... waiting to hear if they get similar tummy trouble in Delhi / Gurugram this week! 

e.g. "Pani Puri / Gol Gaapa" and "chaats" = can't resist street food in India?

Theegala was born in California a long time after his parents moved here, grew up in the U.S. Not a “shame” unless you make value judgments that aren’t yours to make.

You obviously missed Tiger’s promotional tours of Asia in spite of being born in California 😂

Nothing to do with you suggesting someone else has an obligation to go anywhere because of their family tree.

seems like a jump in logic on your part as no one stated optionally improving ones brand is an obligation.

Stop. He said Theegala should have gone to India because of his “heritage”  and it was a “shame” he didn’t.  
 

He doesn’t even play regular DP World events but has the right to play where he wants without having people tell him he should play in India because his parents are from there. 
 

 

[ingy]

there's a bunch of holes on this track that give you sort of two really definitive options. Either lay up considerably short, or pull the chief and take a risk to get it within wedge distance.

 

Will be interesting on sunday if it's close, might be a couple of people needing to go all out and risk it ftw.

 

I think Rasmus H could have a really good chance here. Hoping thomas pieters does well also.

It’s not a “shame” otherwise.  

 

Too tired to go round in circles - tune in to the event - enjoy the players who are there.
