Crazy finish in the LPGA this morning with both Lydia and Nelly making eagles on 17 and then Nelly birdieing 18 to force a play off.
Korda ending up getting the win on the second playoff hole. Lydia with a pretty poor 3 putt. Korda managing to up and down after missing the green.

Disappointing for Lydia. But she's off to a great start this season compared to last season

NZ Open starts today and it looks to be the best we've had for a wee while.
No Foxy but a decent field with a lot of up and coming players from both NZ and Aus, as well as a big Japanese contingent. Don't forget Steve Alker either. I bet he'd like to show up the youngsters.
I'm hoping my old mate Mike Hendry can win it as that would really make some come back story. If not then Kazuma for me. This kid is awesome to watch. Doesnt hit the ball super far but his approach shots in to greens and his touches with the putter and chipping are outstanding. Surely the next big thing in NZ golf.
Live scoring on https://nzopen.com/leaderboard/ and sky sports should have decent coverage each afternoon over the next 4 days

Not a great day for those i mentioned above. Bit of work to do for the likes of Alker to make the cut, with the cut looking likely to be under par.
Lead currently held by two Aussies Hend and Griffin at -7 but local lad (and LIV reserve) Ben Campbell is up there at -6 thanks to a nice eagle on 18.

Lydia Ko finished T4 at the latest LPGA event in China
Scottie Scheffler wins his seventh PGA Tour title after demolishing the field at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. Next up on the PGA Tour is The Players in which Ryan Fox is also in the field.
Steve Alker is currently T2 at the latest Champions Tour event in Arizona
and if anyone actually cares Abraham Ancer won the lastest LIV event in Hong Kong -
Really hoped that Lyds was gonna kick on in R4 but didnt start too well yesterday. Tardy was a bit of a run away winner. Great last two rounds.

Kazuma declared PGA Aus order of merit champion with one tournament still to go.
Locks in his DP World Tour card after an awesome first season as pro (only turned pro in November), and also a starting spot at the Open! -
What a hole to dunk it!

Quite a run through 14 to 18 for Fox - bogey, bogey, eagle, hole in one, bogey
Pretty standard (other than the ace) for Foxy. His second 9 appeared more unusual.
Ended up -3 which is a good start as he hasnt gone too well so far on the tour this year. Favourable conditions out there so some hot scoring on day 1

How about hitting your ball into the water twice in consecutive holes then lose your composure...
