Glorious scenes at Old Trafford. Cherries completely running riot juxtaposed with Carrick mugging Bruno off on the bench!

“It’s not easy being a Tour player, being away from my family, especially when you’re on the bubble. Obviously I’m not the only person but the last thing you want to do is start a little family and then get demoted or lose some of your playing rights.
“I was obviously thinking about his future, making sure my wife doesn’t have to get a job! It was definitely on the back of my mind and I’ve also got Stevie to take care of. There’s lots of things that weigh on our shoulders when we’re out there playing golf.”

Look up “shit or bust” in the dictionary and you might see Sean Crocker’s scorecard from this morning at Woo Jeong Hills! 🔥

This is another aspect of the concept of “patina,” and its loss, which I mentioned the other day.
For a long time, golf was somewhat exempt from the typical and boring obsession with cleanness, newness and “optimization” because clubs and facilities weren’t raking in $$$, so they didn’t have money burning holes in their pockets to make them restless and jealous about their neighbors’ latest projects.
One downside of the new golf economy is that the ego and self-consciousness of many memberships and owners now has an outlet, and we’re seeing what poor taste a lot of people have. Clubs that *could* do this stuff, but choose not to, deserve more appreciation than ever.

The best locker rooms on this list never got “modernized”
They kept the original metal lockers, the spike-marked benches, and the carpet that should’ve been replaced in 1987. This is proper.
Meanwhile clubs keep destroying their own history so some board can chase the latest style and slap “locker room renovation” on their résumé. Modern lockers and fresh carpet never age well.
If you are a part of an old historic club, walk in and feel like it’s a “spec home”bathroom your club has lost its soul.

When I was a boy channel 7 would bring out Critchley & Laidlaw for the summers big tournaments. Wonderful to hear his voice again.
Bruce Critchley joins the pod this week for a fascinating conversation on his broadcasting career, the course changes at his home club Sunningdale, his dazzling amateur career, and the careers of his parents too.
A wonderful hour of stories, and you can hear the full interview below.

Outstanding. Entered the week 106th on the money list..
That’s one way to take care of business!
YUTO! 🏆
DELIVERED WHEN IT MATTERED MOST 💪

Super stuff from Sean Crocker when he had to go and do it. Gutsy grind. You’d like to think this could give him the boost he needs next year because he’s certainly got the ability!
Front Nine: Projected 101st
Back Nine: Projected 100th
Sean Crocker has done all he can to keep his DP World Tour playing rights for next season but now has the anxious wait for confirmation.

Chelsea been abysmal here and heads fully gone now. Rogers should have been sent there for that barbaric hack. Empty head
“..betrayal feels like the right word. And unfortunately when one feels that way inevitably what follows is a loss of respect, and what tends to fill the void left behind is resentment and contempt. I don’t want to feel resentment or contempt..but I’m afraid its an inevitability”
Seeing others speculate on the topic, I had to throw my hat into the ring. I couldn't help myself.
Free to read this one..

Some performance from Yuta Katsuragawa. 106th on the money list coming into the week probably only thinking about how to get top 100. Now all of a sudden he’s -7 thru 15 in round 3, tied for the lead and completely turning his season around..
Casey Jarvis waits for what must have been 15 minutes on 12 tee whilst Filippo Celli messes about in the group ahead getting a ruling and then carves one straight right out of bounds!
Imagine if just once, a player wrote their own statement on something..
After two seasons with Legion XIII, I have decided not to sign with LIV Golf for its next chapter. I will be playing a full schedule on the DP World Tour in 2027.
Joining LIV Golf was the right decision for me at the time, and I'm grateful for everything it has given me. Playing alongside Jon, Tyrrell and Caleb taught me more than I could have imagined. Thank you to them, the team staff and everyone at LIV Golf for making me feel at home from day one.
I've taken time to think about what's best for me and I am confident this to is the right decision to help me achieve my goals.
Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last two years. See you in 2027.

A statement on yesterday…..
Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round.
I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast
I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour
I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself
I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything…..
My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days
I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while
Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend
I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead
Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey
Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too
Thank you all x
His name once again must be Eugenio López-Chacarra Coto
