Howell is heading to Georgia in the Fall. Georgia is a good squad even without him, Ranked #23.
OT: 2026 PGA Tour Thread - Masters Week
- Thread starter knightfan7

He's been calm and focused in his two long interviews this week. He seems very confident. He talked at length about winning the Scottish Open last year and what it meant to his belief in himself!
Question for better golfers than me here which at this point would be just about everyone............
Chris is known as having a lower ball flight with less backspin than most. Is that something that could hurt him at a course like Augusta National with it's notoriously fast greens. Along with the wind today and tomorrow, they may be super fast.

He'll still be one of the top players in driving distance this week, when he is using his driver.
A shame he couldn’t keep it going.
Solid 2-under front nine for Gotterup today. A good back nine will definitely have him in the mix going into the weekend.
Up and down back 9 but Birdies 17 and 18 to finish 3 Under for the day and tourney.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Phenomenal shot, but like on 13 and 15, where he hit bad drives, he made perfect trouble shots to good spots to at least make par likely and birdie possible.
Lots of “easy” pin placements today. There are going to be some very low scores. The question is whether Rory is one of them.
Rory’s been playing with fire all day. He’s been erratic with both his driver and his irons. Looks like it’s about to bite him on 11. Drove it into the woods, got lucky and kicked out into the fairway, but way back (220+). Then he overcooks a draw into the pond left of the green. There’s a reason you never flirt with left on 11.
It’s a double on 11. Lead is down to 1 over Cam Young and 2 over Day, Burns, & Li. Getting tighter, but lots of holes still left today.

Chris didn't give himself many chances after the 2nd hole.
He did hit perhaps the drive of the week on 11. 373yds! Unfortunately his approach was 40' past the hole. He did hit a great 2nd on 18 to 4' from the cup. 2nd time he Birdied 18.
He's not going to win but can still finish Top 15 with a good day.

I was there all day yesterday. In the air flying back right now to coach a 9u baseball game. Had tix for today too.
Can’t believe I left!
What an amazing day yesterday

Rory's struggles continue today. Even when he was -12 after two rounds a lot of that was amazing chips and putts, but that can only hold up so long and he paid for his inaccuracy a bit yesterday and moreso today, as he's +2 through 6 with some bad irons and poor putting, so he's 2 back of Young who's at -11 and one back of Rose and Henley at -10 and tied with Scheffler who's at -9 and playing well. Going to be a fascinating last round as usual.

Yep, but he just hit a poor shot on 18 that he had to have to make birdie. Rory 2 up with 3 to play is definitely his to win or lose, unless Scottie chips in or Rose gets one more - although with one bad drive and a 3 putt one can drop 2 shots easily.
You don’t get a jacket missing 5 inch putts. It’s been like 30 years since a UK golfer won so odds were against him
