Forgive me but I couldn’t resist seeing how Tyrrell Hatton reacted to his 8 at 13 yesterday. This was after shot 6. Have the anger management classes paid off?

Sometimes the planets align...
Stewart Cink wins at 125/1!
Thanks for all the nice messages and well done if you backed him. He was brilliant.
In the debate on whether to back someone if they've done well at the Masters, there's a player at the Heritage whose first 5 wins came the week after a major, including 2 here!
T12 at Augusta. His finishes in those majors before he won a week later: 13-28-17-17-14
Cink or swim?

Justin Rose...
Current form: 6th, 10th last two starts
Course form: 4th last time he played it
Form in big events this year: top 10 in two majors
Ryder Cup pedigree: excellent
I'm boring myself now but I think the team is weaker without him.

Blimey. Thanks for all the messages.
A couple of people have asked if I have a favourite charity while one bloke offered me half his winnings (don’t be daft!).
Stewart Cink’s wife, Lisa, had breast cancer so a donation to that would be a nice thing to do. Cheers.

Got to love Rory.
Q: Is it frustrating when you're asked about certain conditions, you're asked about a course (Bay Hill last week) and explaining gets misconstrued publicly as maybe complaining?
Rory: It wasn't misconstrued, I was definitely complaining!

Interesting from Harrington: "The ball is running so far. Every tee shot is running 60, 80 yards. You can't carry trouble and stay short of the next trouble. If you're getting too much shape, it's going to run into trouble. Being as fast as it is, it makes it much tougher."

Money not Matt Fitzpatrick's god. "I came away from the US PGA and literally couldn't care less about how much I made. I was just gutted that I didn't win. I had a chance and I didn't take it, and that kind of said a lot to myself that that's all I'm bothered about out here."

Back-to-back 63s and a five-shot lead at halfway. Ridiculous really. Some sort of redemption maybe after I looked a proper mug when trends pick Sungjae Im shot 127 over par at Augusta. Hopefully Cink keeps it going.

Thoughts after reading Rory's quotes. This might play like Hoylake in 2006. Firm, fast. Tiger laid back off tee and relied on his brilliant iron play. Who is most like the Tiger of 06? Morikawa. Hmmm. Top 5 in SG: Approach this season? Zalatoris, Henley, Hideki, Morikawa, Smith.

Another snooker milestone today: a first ever total clearance and a new best break of 131 (up from 109).
This was after 2 hours of setting the balls up favourably and numerous rubbish attempts but I’ll take it. Am an odd player. Miss sitters but sometimes it clicks.

Scheffler on how he'll relax: "Probably just watch The Office, get some dinner. It's by far my favourite show. I love it. I think we are like two episodes into Season 4. I'm just looking forward to sitting back and giggling a little bit and eating some good food."

Had fifth century today (all in 2022). Used set-up along these lines. Got to 101 but then miscued pink trying to get up for yellow. 134 on but I still get too giddy (clenched fist) at three figures so focus goes.

I kind of hate what happened to golf in 2022 and, to be honest, I've always been a bit conflicted (captain's car parking spaces etc) by the sport. But trying to solve the puzzle of who might win each week and presenting a case as to why is as stimulating as ever.
