Fantastic way to end the Florida swing! Thank you @ValsparChamp for a great week. Looking forward to keeping the momentum going! 👊🏻

Fitzpatrick snitched on his playing partner for slow play and is rightly being applauded.
Let’s take this a step further.
Taking 3 minutes to take a normal approach shot isn’t just slow. It’s cheating. It should be an immediate penalty.
You are NOT supposed to be able to account for all variables. You are NOT supposed to be able to make infinite calculations or wait for the perfect amount of wind.
You are NOT supposed to be able to wait until you are 100% comfortable in the shot.
What Fitz did is awesome, but it should be normal. They don’t need to race, but at some point they need to be able to hit a golf shot in a reasonable amount of time. That should be a base requirement for being a golfer at any level, much less a pro.

“He is a little perturbed with his playing partner’s pace of play. It is glacial, to be kind.” John Wood on Matt Fitzpatrick, who is currently tied for the lead and playing with Adrien Dumont de Chassart. After Brad Faxon followed up, Wood said Fitzpatrick hit his approach on the 11th first, even though he was closer, and walked up to the green, where he waited about 3 min before Dumont de Chassart hit his approach. Rules official Orlando Pope said that Fitzpatrick talked to an official, and they have decided to give Dumont de Chassart an official warning after timing him unofficially since Fitzpatrick’s request.

@cricket_badger What’s the point in playing properly on this shit tip? Might as well go out and have a whack.

Harry Brook should be dropped for that first ball shot alone. Totally irresponsible nonsense.
He’s better than that sh*t!!

Marnus Labuschagne has now gone 36 Test knocks without a century, dating back to July 2023.
In that time he's made 808 runs at 24.5 with nine half centuries.

@WisdenCricket He was spot on. This is easily the worst Australian side of my lifetime, sums up just how horrendously poor England have been
