Some draw for Leeds tonight. I’d have taken 40 points at the start of the season. 🤞

To appreciate the strength of Fitzpatrick’s character & resolve here requires a throwback to the hostile atmosphere in the Players C’Ship last month where he was ‘hunted down’ by Cam Young & similarly bogeyed the 18th & lost the tournament. It’s like that experience stood to him.

Watch this closely. Fitz drops the winning putt and immediately looks at… the crowd. Same crowd that cheered and chanted when he missed on the 72nd hole. Said afterwards it was like winning a football match at your rival’s home ground. Love it.
English
@jamierkennedy No argument there. There was, however, a freedom in hitting that shot (basically a shot to nothing to move from 15th place into the top 10) by comparison to the extremely high tariff with the tournament on the line and a World No 1 chasing you down not to mention a baying crowd..
English
@gregallenRTE Yeah I think he pulled it, trying it hit more of a sweeping draw. Woodland had no pressure but purely on a shot value POV, it’s one of the best shots you’ll ever see.
English
This legitimately might be the best shot hit so far in 2026 👇🏼
Barely anyone was hitting the green on 18. Woodland steps up, from way back, and hits a bullet, drawing against the wind to fly straight.
Walk-off eagle.
English
@jamierkennedy Ah understand. Woodland’s shot was terrific - that’s a given. There’s also the added ingredient of the chanting & atmosphere.
Odd to see him take hand off the club given the ball flight didn’t look like he pulled it & the fact that he then holed the putt to win was extraordinary.
English
@gregallenRTE Was rewatching so hadn’t seen Fitz’s yet.
One thing I’d say on Matt’s shot, I think he turned the face more than he wanted, hence the one-handed follow through. Maybe a little luckier than Woodland’s but no doubting the moment and importance.

Sheffield steel wins ….
More like granite …👏👏Matt Fitzpatrick

@FinlayColm Don’t think it matters other than clearing the way for Bryson who, in any case, played in Bethpage.
Reed & Koepka will be available. Rahm situation is a standoff but there’s time to sort it. Past heroics help but Shane knows he just has to play well for 12 months, starting Sept.

LIV golf collapse:
Good for JP McManus/ Adare Ryder cup in 2027. Should be the best both teams have to offer
Possibly not great news for Shane Lowry. His Open win major exemptions are finished and an influx of lads in and around his rank will put the pressure on.

Greatest European golfer?
As a comparison, here's where the Rory, Faldo and Seve were in their careers aged 36 (same age Rory is today).

@DempsterMartin @TheMasters @McIlroyRory Same here Martin. Watched it last night…even more interesting after the events on Sunday last…
English
First full day back home after @TheMasters and taking some time off. Didn't get chance to watch this beforehand, so now seems like a good time to see why everyone was raving about Rory McIlroy: The Masters Wait
@McIlroyRory

The hype is real. This is other worldly for an 18 year old…19.67 for 200m 😳….

28 minutes into his third round, Rory McIlroy’s six shot lead cut to just 2 strokes. Bogey on the first …. Reed starts birdie, birdie, birdie….
McIlroy -11, Reed -9.
English
I’ve seen some Rory things but 3 of his 9 birdies from trees is up there.
The old notions that Rory heavily leans on his driver & towering irons & was a poor wedge player & balky putter are far in the rear view mirror. Driver needs attention which makes that 65 even more awesome.
English
@sam_golf As long as you compose a golf rock opera if Tommy wins
English
All bets aside, three people I would love to see win the Masters this week, in no particular order:
Justin Rose
Tommy Fleetwood
Gary Woodland

It's a massive week for Tom McKibbin who spoke to @gregallenRTE at Augusta ahead of his first appearance at #TheMasters

As much as it was looking increasingly unlikely even before what happened last week, it’s quite the statement that Woods will not captain the USA at Adare Manor.

@jamierkennedy All I can see is how far he stands from the ball…..
….peak Woosnam was pure joy to watch …. A great simple repeatable swing and overall method. He made ball striking look easy and uncomplicated….

Five years on from his Masters triumph.

Seven years ago today we lost our great friend Pat McAuliffe. A real force of nature. They don’t make them like Pat anymore. We keep the memories inside my great friend. 🙏 @KENNYTCORK @PaulByrne_1 @pjcoogan @rob96fm

@ShaneRyanHere Rory lost 3 shots to Bryson in the first 2 holes. He was in ‘fight back’ mode from there on and his senses were heightened as a result. If Bryson turned out to be his main rival, this could have been the turning point. This was also the most important round of one of their lives.
English
this is both very interesting and sneaky funny in that Rory's going, "this was a defining moment of my life where I had to show strength and character under pressure," and it's very possible Bryson's take was "this guy's being really weird about a very minor thing"
