Awful news for the bloke's family. Terribly unlucky way to go.

Why would assume the referee was male?

Was it the referee or the driver of the buggy? Thought you said the latter.

Your point stands mind!!

Absolute scenes at the Irish women’s open Ann Van Dam was heading back to the tee for a playoff in a buggy driven by a referee and they went under a crowd rope and the rope snapped the head of her driver.

So who's head got snapped off?

Aberg

Rahm, Rors, Hovland, Fitzpatrick, Fleetwood, Lowry, Hatton, Rose and Meronk.
Then 3 from Streaky Straka, Bob Mc (actually probably qualify tomorrow), Aberg, Hojgaard.
A mad off the wall wildcard that imo would work, it would be Molinari (home favvy, huge support, Molywood etc. The yanks have picked JT who wouldn't win a round of pitch and putt at the moment to play with Speith

Aberg looks some talent. Heard if he's picked, he'll be the first player never to have played a major to play the Ryder cup. Lowry's world ranking will probably save him but he's totally out of form. Hell I'd say Harrington is better than him right now. Rahm, Hovland, Rory, Fitzpatrick, Hatton, Bob Mac, Fleetwood, Straka, Meronk, Aberg, Rose, Lowry is my guess will be the team. Tough on the Hojgaards though.

He only turned pro in June of this year.

Wildcards
Fleetwood
Streaky Straka
Rose
Lowry
Hojgaard
Aberg

Surprised he left out Meronk

 

[foitek]

Rose rather lucky to be picked too, hasn't done a lot of note lately. Automatic picks look reasonable but Hatton is an annoying prick who could cause disruption, a Faldo with 1/100th of the talent.

Mark Power turning pro, making his debut at the Irish Open.
Remember watching him at the Lee Valley scratch cup a few years ago, fantastic iron player.

Kilkenny golf club organising a classic to help him on his way. He had a good Walker Cup, one of only two GB&I players to win their singles match, and had two other wins and one loss.

That's encouraging, because he had gone off the boil a bit.
