I have lost interest in this tournament, and it's a shame, lot of top players in the field... what round are they playing? It looks like the 2010 Ryder Cup

They're halfway through the 3rd round

I've a bet on Francesco, so that's keeping me interested. I haven't seen a single shot though

It would be nice to see a win from Matteo, hasn't done much this year, but also the first win of Chris Wood. Hey John Daly wd again!

I saw from twitter that Rory decided to watch the new bond movie with Caroline, and not with Tiger. Seems cheating to me.

Something tells me Tiger's hands are rougher.  Just a guess though.

So did I, even though Bernd Wiesberger was top ten last time I checked. The trouble with the weather is exactly why this tournament annoys me to no end. I already started a thread about this last year, and again, the European Tour is stupid enough to schedule the event at the same time this year.
Message to George O'Grady:
If you have not noticed yet, it is impossible to hold a 4 round golf tournament in Singapore at this time of the year, and no amount of money some multi-millionaire is willing to pay to have an event at his course can change that.

Manassero charging up into a tie for the lead, Oosthuizen 2 behind, McIlroy and Scott 3 behind.....pity about the weather and the fact the final round will be starting at 3am

I should really be interested in that but... I am not... I am too confused! Forza Matteo! (even if I don't have you in my Fantasy Race!)

[360_CS]

Manassero leading by 3, hope he can hold on.

[Vindog]

Matteo needs this, he doesn't want to get to far removed from automatic WGC and Major berths...

[iBanesto]

Matteo has been consistent but not spectacular this year.

BTW the organisers last year said it is not easy to move this event to another date.

[iBanesto]

Manassero vs. Oosthuizen right now!

[imakaveli]

Manny! 3 wins and still a teenager! Bravo Matteo!

[iBanesto]

Awesome finish. Matteo birding the last to get into the playoff.

Oosthuizen lipping out on the 2nd playoff hole and Matteo holing his eagle putt to win it.

[Slugsy]

Only 19, such temperament, hopefully great things to come from this lad.

[imakaveli]

Manny!

[deasy55]

What a great way to win it! Eagle in a playoff to beat Oosthuizen.

"His 3 European Tour wins put him first, second and eighth in the list of youngest winners in European Tour history."


And McIlroy wins the Race to Dubai

I followed Manny round today. Round 3, the guy was playing a different game. Never looked like missing a shot, and had a few putts lip out.

Highlight for me though was hearing Scott and Dyson ripping into Poulter on the 4th tee!

[Vindog]

Nice job Matteo.  Id love to see how far this gets him in the owgr...I want to see him in the big ones again.

I did a rough guestimate there and came out with somewhere around #46 (depending on other results in Florida etc)


I bet on Matteo last night when he was 12/1 and have an each way double on McIlroy and Gay. So if Brian Gay finishes top 4 tonight I will be a happy golf fan

[imakaveli]

I was at my golf club today and I took some pics of the wall of the local pro, who was the first teacher of Matteo, hope you like them

Would be nice to see him win a Major but not being allowed to celebrate in the US with some champagne because of the young age!

Great pics! And

If you go to "anytown" USA on a Saturday night, you will see that the drinking age here is actually

14.

I wonder if "This is the famous Budweiser beer..." are still the best know words for most yutes.

Well, all I will say is that it sounds like Poults is buying himself an Enzo just to get on the wait list for the new one that's coming out. I won't mention the rest of it on a public forum, but let's just say, I'd love to have a round of golf with Dyson, and a few bevvies afterwards - seems like a top bloke.

[Sean2]

Impressive win.

[iBanesto]

I hope Oosthuizen wins soon. He is turning out to be a Matt Kuchar, top 10's galore.

I totally agree: yes, Dyson is a cool guy and yes, to buy the next Enzo you have to own the Enzo first tough life!

[360_CS]

Wow eagle to win the playoff. He definitely has game.

[rafal]

Manassero to Nike?

You, sir, are a mathmagician.

Well done.  Both of you
