@canefan not entirely true, i thought it was more acceptance of the inevitable.
If you listen to the section he spoke on LIV I thought he came off reasonably well, you still get he doesn't agree with alot of LIV, although he did say say the competiton is good, felt some of the talk of growing the game would make more sense if some money went to 'grass roots' stuff instead of the eye watering sums thrown about to individuals.
He also said he never engaged with them, so has never been offered an obscene sum to turn down.

@canefan he was, and for the most part I don't think his stance has changed, he just knows he is fighting something he can't win.
I think he got plenty wrong in his approach, but it is what it is and i feel a bit much is made of some of the cherry picked comments.
Like he also said, the fans don't care about the money, they just wanna watch the best players play golf.

He was pretty firm in his stance until Rahm defected. Then he seemed to accept it very quickly

20 year old Alabama sophomore Nick Dunlap has won the American Express PGA tour event in California. Fist amateur to win a PGA tour event since Phil Mickelson in 1991.
Last year he became the only player other than Tiger Woods to win both the U.S. Junior Amateur and U.S. Amateur.

So what does he win as an amatuer? $1.5m in pro shop credit?
Lydia also had a good win on the LPGA overnight, winning by 2 shots. Her first win for over a year.
Great confidence builder after a rough last season

He's decided to go the professional route now.

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
