Tough course. I find him a bit of a choker when in contention. Takes one bad shot really to heart and takes too many holes to get his head right afterwards while drifting away from the leader. Always think he could win at Augusta but the years are rolling by fast and his upstairs ain't getting any better. Pity.

He gets very upset at bad shots. Bags of talent, but the stars have to align or he'll beat himself.

He's just an angry fucker. Always whinging at something or other. Typical biffo

He's some craic though, like a normal lad you'd meet around the place. I heard that 7 times between Friday to Sunday they had to apologise on the Sky coverage for his bad language

Wyndam Clark tearing it up at the Players.

Fairly sure Tom Brownlee put him forward as one to follow this year on a podcast at the start of the year.

Rings a bell.

Something has clicked for him in the last year or so. Just watched the Netflix Full Swing episode with him last night & they put a lot of it down to a new sports psychologist who he got on board.

Good post Phil, but thinking it was Luis Adverg now. Can't be arsed going back to check!

Valspar Championship

I tweaked my model to include each players' form across their last 6 tournaments - where greater weight is given to the more recent tournaments.

Next tweak I have in mind is to weight performance in each tournament based on how important each is and/or how strong the field is.

Nice to see Seamus Power on the leaderboard.

I was watching a bit of that and had it on in the background for longer. I saw every fucking golfer in the top 12 multiple times. Not one shot of Power. It was like they were boycotting him.
