I think Lydia could have a pretty special year. Shes kicked off where she left off last year and I think 2023 could be pretty dominant for her.

Yeah I heard Foxy chatting to Sumo & Beaver on SENZ earlier this week about his course record. He also chatted to them about his upcoming schedule that he heads off to the US on Saturday to play the Arnold Palmer Invitational next week, then The Players Championship, World Golf Championships Matchplay, The Masters & The RBC Heritage in South Carolina so a big couple of months ahead for Foxy.

Also, Foxy back home and shot a new course record 60 at Te Arai (South) last week
He had a 61 at Tara Iti back in January to set the course record there too.
@JK he had been shooting some low numbers in that period in NZ and had a hole in 1 at his home club...just highlights how different these courses must be compared to those they play on tour, given that one is a shade under 7,000 yards which isnt massively shorter than most tour courses, I think Bethpage black is one of the longer ones at 7400 yards (although Augusta is down as 7500)

Its crazy eh. Plus Te Arai south is super forgiving. You can easily see how he could (and did) burn it up there

Ryan Fox shot a five under 67 in the final round to finish tied for 14th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida this morning earning $520,000 NZD for his efforts.
Next up for him is The Players Championship later this week.Ryan Fox shot a five under 67 in the final round to finish tied for 14th at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida this morning earning $520,000 NZD for his efforts.
Next up for him is The Players Championship later this week.That's a pretty solid result for Fox given the quality of the field and how tricky it was to shoot a score.

Be good if he has a couple more good comps as he builds for the masters next month, do wonders for his confidence.

@1kiwi so that has probably multiplied his career earnings by about 10

I watched some of this over the weekend, what an event. I haven't seen a better crowd in golf for years, the atmosphere was brilliant, the players were enjoying themselves and the conditions in Adelaide were perfect. The commentary team said they had never seen better conditions for a golf tournament.
LIV golf is definitely here to stay and I really wouldn't be surprised if more big-name players make the shift over.
-
Liv is a great watch. The scenes when the lessor-Koepka hit the hole-in-one at the stadium hole were fucking great
The stuffy sanctimonious fluffybunnies at the PGA tour should be worried (though for all the chat, the money they are now paying out is fucking ridiculous as well).

@Canes4life although from what I have seen, LIV has better support outside the US, particularly places like Aus where the PGA dont go anyway.
Hopefully there will be some common ground in the near future, while LIV has alot of cash, it surely isnt unlimited meaning if more and more want to jump, the sign on bonuses will drop.
PGA need to pull thier heads out and find a way forward where both exist, but I think for that to happen, probably the head of both PGA (Jay Monahan) and LIV (Greg Norman) will need to step down, seems alot of ego there.

LIV Aus was indeed awesome but a lot of that is due to the Aussie crowd that, lets be honest, would have turned up to watch pretty much any sport put on in a similar environment.
I've watched a of heap of LIV (and golf in general) and the atmosphere and vibe event was sooo much better than all the others . Right now for me, from a spectacle point of view, its still LPGA then LIV, with PGA a long way behind (unless its a major)
