A morning to forget for Ryan Fox. 4 over after 8 holes of the 2025 Open at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
-
He's still 4 over..
-
Fox finished on 4 over. 8 off the lead. He will be a battle tomorrow to make the cut.
-
Scottie Scheffler's one shot of the lead and must be the big favourite to add to his haul of Major wins on Sunday.
-
It was a tight contest for second place, but Scottie Scheffler was much better than the rest of the field. His haul stands at five major titles and I suspect he's just getting started.
-
Scheffler has now converted 10 straight outright 54-hole leads, a stretch that dates back to the 2023 WM Phoenix Open and includes 3 majors. He joins Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player as players to win the Masters, PGA Championship and Open Championship before age 30.
-
Fedex Cup playoffs start Friday morning our time in Memphis and Foxy will be needing a decent placing to get through to East Lake in Atlanta. There are no cuts in the FedEx Cups playoffs so means full four days play for him. He should be safe to get through to next week's BMW Championship as he is currently ranked 32 and only the Top 50 go through. If he makes in to next week he is guaranteed entry to all 2026 Signature Events.

I've played Torrey Pines just north of San Diego. Arrived for our tee time about 40 minutes prior and missed Tiger by about 10 minutes the staff in the pro shop told us.
-
And a second place for New Zealand's Kazuma Kobori at the British Masters for the biggest pay day for his career so far.
Hopefully, the 23 year old can kick on from here and challenge for more titles.

Hey everyone, seeking a bit of advice. I only played golf for about 4-5 years, and as I started at 66 and don't practice, I am pretty ordinary. Anyway age thing etc, I was thinking I may go to a set of Hybrid irons, Powerbilt have a set that aren't too pricey etc, senior shaft as I got slow as f*** swing. Does anyone know anyone who has played with them, or similar. I not inclind to go to golf shop etc and get into paying biggish money as without kidding myself, I see me lasting playing the game for about 5 years tops. I kind of want to keep going, as getting out there and swinging the clubs is good bit of exercise , and thoroughly enjoy the mates etc at the club. Any advise etc appreciated, and I can't believe how I quite happy to accept it from a forum where I know noone as such, but basically this is one place I would actually take notice of advice!

@Dan54 cant help sorry, I dont even have any hyrbid clubs.
But, I'd say if they have the right shafts and correct sized grips, you wont be too far off - have you tried the clubs or is that not possible?

Thanks mate, unfortunately unable to try them.

@Dan54 I'd def recommend getting them re-gripped at the least, most standard sized grips arent really ideal for most men regardless of your level, I have mid-size with 2 layers of tape.
