    Incredible final round from Scottie. What a year it's been for him so far. He'll probably go out and win the Tour Championship now.

    That finish did a lot for Olympic golf. Fair to say it's been a bit anticlimactic so far but that was something special. One of the best leaderboards of the year.

    Home crowd favorite Victor Perez came oh so close to a podium finish. He had 4 birdies and an eagle on the back 9 and shot a 63 with an 8 under round.

    Pretty frightening for the player in question but it does rise an interesting point.

    Is he allowed a free placement of his ball to avoid the gouges left in the green between the position of the ball and the hole that weren't there when he commenced his putting routine? Would be shattering if he was sitting on 44 stableford points and putting for an eagle and then had this to circumnavigate!

    Heading up to my course this afternoon to watch an Asian Tour event. Biggest names were supposed to be Ian Poulter and Graeme McDowell, but both withdrew! Varner III now the biggest draw.

    Looking forward to seeing how the course is supposed to be played, as opposed to the way I hack my way around it.

    The business end of the PGA Tour starts later this week with the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennesse.
    With the end of the regular season the players who finished in the Top 10 of the FedExCup Standings got some nice bonuses, highlighting season long performance. Scottie Scheffler claimed the No.1 spot of course and earned a cool $8 million. Xander finished in second earning $6 million and Rory finished in 3rd place earning $4.8 million. Shane Lowry rounded out the Top 10 and got $2 million.

    Only the Top 70 in the FedExCup Standings qualify to play in this week's tournament and then it gets cut again to the Top 50 for the BMW Championship next week, then the Top 30 in the standings progress to the Tour Championship at East Lake so plenty to play for at the St. Jude Championship this week for alot of the players who are outside the Top 50 currently in points.

    Now that she has the monkey off her back, Lids might be primed for another great run

    You know her winning at St Andrews on the old course just seems to me to really be so right. So bloody pleased for the girl!

    I watched the final few holes - she was so composed, played 17 flawlessly and nailed the birdie at the last - that was enough pressure on the rest of them that they all crumbled.

    Sounds like Paris!

    @KiwiPie that was a great birdie on 18. Just added so much pressure for the others.

    I'm off sick so watched the entire last round on replay. Great clutch golf from Ko.
    Didn't realise how liked she seems to be judging from the commentary - everyone wants to play with her, everyone respects her. Just a class act. Cheering her opponents shots - and a great acceptance speech.

    Class act.

    She's now taking two weeks off to go on a golfing holiday.

    That's a couple of really clutch wins for Lydia, winning at the home of golf is probably one of those things on the bucket list that every golfer has, so pleasing to see her win with style and composure.

    She does seem very relaxed these days - has mastered switching off between shots and then switching on when she needs to. That approach to 17 was masterful given the rain came lashing in horizontally and there are many ways to drop shots on the road hole.

    She crossed off a couple of big goals in Paris, especially the HoF qualification which she had admitted was playing on her mind. Now she can just try to win for fun
