Jon Rahm finally wins on the LIV Tour, beats Cam Smith, Hatton and Niemann by one stroke. Hatton missed a 6-foot putt on the 18th to force a playoff. Maybe some day I'll watch a LIV tourney. I know I won't.

This is interesting. Of course the "Welcome to LIV Golf" scream has merit. People who wanted all events to look like the Waste Management are loving this. But will there be a line drawn? Rahm can call the spectator a dickhead, can the spectator call him one too?

My handicap as of today is 2.8. Im a long hitter but length is the absolute last thing I worry, or care about. My miss is a hook and only happens with a driver. I regularly take a 3 wood to minimize the hook. My playing partner is a 2 handicap as well and hooks the ball worse than I do. 4 weeks ago he started fading the ball beautifully. He got a new Callaway Smoke driver, probable the ugliest club Ive seen, but man this thing rocks. I tried my hardest to hook the ball with the Smoke, but it only drew a tad. The numbers dont lie. A toe hit still runs out 90% with no real movement. insane. They say this year's tech is basically the same as last years Paradym which was all the rave. I haven't cared about any driver hype in a decade, but seriously can't believe the tech in this club. I'm a hook miss with driver also. Ping's adapter has a flat setting. De-lofting -1 and flat makes the face wide open. Hope the Cally works for you! Well Just got back from Des Moines and hit the course with no warm up. Im still very impressed with the tech in this driver. I hit my drive on 15, a baby fade off the heel side, then dropped another which was a toe side strike. Both balls were in the fairway laying 5 feet apart. Just a fun club to hit.

Men's golf tournament at the Paris Olympics starts tomorrow.
If and when all of Scheffler, Schauffele, Rahm and Rory choke, my picks for surprise medalists are Lowry, Niemann and Min Woo Lee.

No Homa. Only two players per country, except America gets four because they are so great.
Matsuyama with the hottest start. Being an excellent ball striker, this course is perfect for him.
Hitting the ball miles isn't going to do much for you when you use the driver maybe 5 times all round.
Lots of water, tricky roughs, but the greens are straight forward, not much undulation.

Pulkkanen scored a niner on the 18th. And he was doing so well before it. From -6 to -1. Nice way to end a day's work... EDIT: that pin position though: svenska.yle.fi/a/7-10061544

Lots of stuff happening. Rahm and the Koreans making a move. Final group on the defensive.
