:aok:
Same score as Richie Ramsay who on his day is a competitor. I think Neil had the worst of the conditions early on. The later ones found it slightly easier. As you say he'll very likely have a great time anyhow.

He finished on +5 so did massively better in round 2. I reckon that would have been a 67.
Looks absolutely dreich down at Renaissance today. It's a day for feet up in front of the box with a comforting dram in front of me.
🥃😁
Hopefully Robert McIntyre can come through to win his first tour event. 5 back but he has the game. Suspect it may be Tommy Fleetwood though. Brilliant round in the conditions
Can’t believe Tommy missed those 2 putts on 16 and the playoff. Usually bread and butter for him. Good to see Marc Warren returning to some form.
Congrats to Rai, great play on the final day. I was hoping McIntyre would have produced that !
Robert Rock thought himself out of that tournament.
He did far too much faffing about with the wee elementary shot he had from the edge of the 18th green . It looked like a fairly simple roll up to the hole with the putter from where I was sitting in my comfy chair (glass in hand of course:greengrin)
Signed up to a winter membership at edinburgh leisure. Just over 20 quid a month which isn't bad at all.
Was really busy today which was a bit daunting, and it was slow ahead of me so felt a bit rushed. Think your advice to get a later time is definitely worth taking on board.
Final round of Cyprus showdown today. One round shootout, great format.
Aggressive golf needed from the off
I’m backing McIntyre to win his first event on tour
Can anyone see past Bryson this weekend? I seen an article about his practice round with Sandy Lyle. Guy overshot the 3rd hole 350 yards with a 3 wood..
For those who follow golf, there’s a young guy, Craig Howie, from Peebles on the Challenge Tour, who has been doing well in the last few months with invites to some main tour events. He’s presently playing in the Golf In Dubai Championship. He was in second place at one point but after five birdies and three bogies in a row, has fallen down the field a wee bit.
Sad news this morning that golf commentator Peter Alliss has passed away at 89. Only covered the Masters a couple of weeks ago for the BBC. Enjoyed his quick witted sense of humour and will be sorely missed by the majority of golf fans. RIP Peter.
Is there any info out there to confirm how many of the top 60 are not playing in the championship finals this week ?
Some commentators think might be as high as 12. I have looked at the current top 60 and can’t see how this number of players would not turn up for a potentially massive pay day.
It seems ridiculous that Collin Marikowa is playing. He has never played one round in Europe in his career but because he won the PGA championship he can now win our Order Of Merit title.
Meanwhile 3 Scots are in the low 60s in the rankings ( Forrest, Syme and Jameson ) and are waiting to hear if some Yanks will turn up or not in Dubai.
So i have just seen the entry list. 11 players from the original top 60 not competing, including defending champion Jon Rahm, Rory, Shane Lowry and Paul Casey. So much for supporting your tour !!!
Field has now been expanded to 65 players so Joost Luiten gets in along with 4 players currently in the top 75 in the World Rankings.
Looks like the organisers just make it up as they go along :confused::confused:
Good to see 5 Scots taking part though
Bob McIntyre right in the hunt again to win. First prize is 3 million dollars :aok:
