Meh... the second best Masters event of the year begins this week.

 

Hard to follow the fireworks in Qatar this year with Hoshino winning.

The decline into a feeder tour saddens me immensely.

Agreed.   

 

Pretty much any event plays second to The Qatar Masters.  Be that the final four, an eclipse, a tire fire or this Augusta Masters they have been talking about.  

 

Not sure I will have time to watch it as I am in the final steps of the application process to be a notary public. This is my 5th attempt. 

 

[iBanesto]

So Scheffler won.

Aberg finished 2nd.

No tournament this week.

Rooting for Y. Paul to win tomorrow!

 

🇩🇪

 

But it is a very bunched leaderboard.

 

[WorkItBothWays]

Its actually setup quite nicely for the final round with some very good players lurking. I would expect either Pavon or Nakajima to win. The venue makes for good viewing.

[iBanesto]

Dominant win for Katsuragawa when most players were struggling on the final day.

 

3rd Japanese player to win on the European Tour in 2024.

Soderberg the "Birdie Machine" leads as round 3 was cancelled due to dangerous weather.

 

[iBanesto]

Pavon and caddie interaction.

 

[iBanesto]

Soderberg choking away the title.

 

Hook tee shot on 1st hole then the 18th right now when tied for lead with Otaegui. Both drives went into a penalty area.

Drive for dough.  Oh man.  Nice win for Otaegui though.

5th tour title for the Pirate.

 

Not the longest hitter in the world, so a great win for all the peashooters out there.

No tournament on the ET this week.

 

Padraig Harrington 🇮🇪 vs. the late great Eduardo Romero 🇦🇷

 

Romero was 48 then and still killing it.

What a pleasure it was to watch Romero back in the day. A lovely man, with a constant beaming smile, and a mesmerising striker of the ball with that infectious, languid rhythm.

 

Also great to see Sandy nonchalantly flicking them away with his rain jacket unzipped and his customary visor atop his bonce despite the chilly conditions.

Yeah some of my favourites tournament of the year (regardless of the tour) in the coming months.

Looking forward to watching Pieters.

[jdl]

Of course a significant Belgian presence in the field this week. Detry chose to play the Schwab instead but I'm sure he wishes he could be there as well.
