The RBC heritage is one of the 8 signature events on tour with no cut & more prize money / Fed Ex points...Most of the main players have teed it up...Scheffler mentioned he'll be taking some time off after this tournament concludes.

I took it more as Scottie - like so many expectant first time dads before him - got carried away with making sure everyone knew he was ready to drop everything- when realistically there was pretty much no chance of this happening last week, in the absence of an emergency. Thankfully. Press ran with it, and kept running. Not surprising given Scottie is not an excitement machine.

Another way of looking at it, cynically, was that he knew the birth wasn’t going to happen but placed it into the media pipeline to garner support from the galleries.

Scottie isn’t that devious.

Nelly 3 up with 3 to play. Looking a tiny bit shakey but so are the chasers.

In another viewpoint it makes him look very good with mothers/mothers to be and families. That he on the cusp of potentially winning would drop everything. One wonders if he'd say what he said if he didnt already have a masters victory.

that we will never know.

Easy to say when the due date was miles off.

5 shot lead with 4 to play - Scottie is untouchable.

Edit: and then he rinses one...

Edit: and then he makes par with an up and down in the dark after play was called. What a gun.

scottie pulled the plug on 15, his partner still to play 15th green

some players playing others not

if wife goes into labour scottie might abandon lol

cantlay stopping on 18th after 2nd shot to 18th was basically in dark

Guessing he thought that even if he did finish out with a par, he would still have to turn up tomorrow anyway? Just in case Scottie implodes or the bub decides it's go time.

PGA gets bitten on the arse by weather, but it deserves it after this stupid piece of scheduling. Would have made a lot more sense to be playing doubles at the Zurich this weekend, then play Hilton Head next week.

As it is we now have next week's gimmicky event followed by the Byron Nelson.

Took me a while - but eventually got it.

I would like to see if Collingwood can arrange for Nelly to meet Nick Daicos. The bloodlines should be joined.

Edit: for clarity, the golfer, not the musician

Did scheff say he was gonna leave if wife about to have the baby?

Does he need to say it any more times?

Does he need to say it any more times?

Well, yes i think so to be clear. He only said hed leave the masters, not the RBC Heritage

That's a no from me on that point of view! I've got a feeling North Melbourne are secretly having discussions with Nelly's management team to arrange a meeting with Harry Sheezel and the club in the next couple of weeks to discuss several things one of which is about the art of winning!

You know that doesn't make sense?

Will be interesting how far Miles Russell goes in the sport of golf. 15 years old with a top 25 finish in the Korn Ferry event

Good week to play KFT when it is up against an alternate field PGAT event.

He’s backing up this weekend too I think

 

[sideswipe]

Whilst the money must be nice, how about Scottie's wardrobe additions this season? Although he already had a couple of them.

 

[Woody15]

It is truly staggering to me that I'm looking at a 27 year old man in those photos. Arnie’s cardigan alone is adding 15 + years.

I quizzed my missus. She thought 40.

Scottie & Nelly must be costing you a fortune

Scottie & Nelly must be costing you a fortune

Yeah you could say that, but like a punter losing on a Saturday on the horses, when the races are over you forget about it and carry on. In a way I'm happy for Nelly as she is one of my favourite players and she is back on top as the no1 player in the world where she belongs. Covid, illness and a couple of other things for the last couple of years have played havoc with her and now we are seeing what she can do when she is healthy!

Scotty, Scotty, what more can you say about the man, a champion golfer who has in the last three years really improved his game to an extent that he's showing just how good he is under pressure in tournaments. Saying all that, all golfers have their runs so to speak, its just that those two extended their runs to record breaking runs, but what can you do? Not bet? Nah, where's the fun in that and while there is no fun in losing, to be a gambler you must take the good with the bad, its very simple, if you can't do that then betting is not for you.
