It's been a bizarre week for golf, what with volcanoes erupting, Jordan Spieth telling us to stop drinking, cocaine being smuggled in 7-irons and college kids being DQ'd left right and centre, but this has to be the craziest.
Is that a kilo in your seven iron or are you just pleased to see me?... It's official, there are drugs in golf.
Good to be back with a winner last week as Webb Simpson at 80/1 wins the Players Championship at Sawgrass. The European event this week is the Belgium knockout hosted by Thomas Pieter's and his wife, it's too much of a novelty event to get involved with, so we concentrate on the Byron Nelson in the USA.
After eight tour victories in three years – including last year's PGA Championship – and six of them in the last 14 months, Justin Thomas finally displaced Dustin Johnson last night as the world's number one player.
Webb Simpson got the job done today at the Players with an unflapperable one over round of 73 to beat Jason Dufner, Charl Schwartzel, Xander Schauffele and Jimmy Walker by four shots. But Tiger Woods had a proper crack at it, before faltering on his back nine, whilst Brooks Koepka equalled the course record, on a fascinating final day.
Barring a miracle or a total meltdown, it is pretty much safe to say that Webb Simpson has this one in the bag, as he shoots a four under 68 to extend his lead to seven shots.
Webb Simpson has surely got it wrapped up, right? But what if Tiger or Jordan take off like they did yesterday? It could be an amazing day. Tee times and R3 highlights right here...
It’s the Players Championships in the USA; I haven’t tipped Tiger Woods but I feel he is close to winning soon.
