After one tournament in nine months with fans in attendance, the PGA Tour appears to be laying the groundwork for consistently getting some number of butts in seats by the end of the year.

If Rory McIlroy were to retire today, he’d be considered one of the greatest players of his generation. With four major championships, 28 wins worldwide and more than $50 million in career earnings, there are few golfers in history whose body of work surpasses McIlroy’s.

But even with this world-class resume, questions linger about unfulfilled potential, especially in the majors. McIlroy’s 22 top 10s in golf’s four biggest events is a huge achievement, but when coupled with context, that number loses some luster.

The Masters might be the best example of McIlroy’s top-10 Houdini act, as he’s finished worse than 10th only once in the last seven years in pursuit of the career Grand Slam — while never being in serious Sunday-afternoon contention in any of them.

McIlroy’s Sunday struggles, in particular, have been puzzling. In the 2019-20 season, McIlroy’s overall scoring average of 69.219 was fourth-best on Tour. But his final-round scoring average of 71 ranked 150th. Hard to figure.

The four rounds 47th Pakistan Open Golf Championship,endorsed and entirely backed by the national golf body,Pakistan Golf Federation,commenced at the Rawalpindi Club Golf Course on Thursday ,and at the end of the first days 18 holes competitive round the champions in the forefront are the very young Ahmed Baig of PAF Skyview Golf Club and Arif Ali of PTV .For a change it was pleasing to see two youthful ones show their game strengths and end as the leaders with a first round score of gross 70,two under par.These two gifted ones of the national golf scene managed to edge past many established top ranked players and that included mighty ones like Shabbir Iqbal,Matloob Ahmed and M.Munir.

Performance wise Ahmed Baig’s game has been a mixture of excellence and error oriented.His eagle on the 16th hole was the result of superb shot making and so were his birdies on holes 2,6,,8,12,13 and 18 but then he had to encounter a dreaded double bogie on the 14th hole and bogies on holes 1,5,10 and 11 which make his score look just a little less sparkling .However fortune seems to be favoring him as his other adversaries of significance also did not play like the true champions that they are.As for Arif Ali ,he reflected steadiness and total accuracy in hitting and hopes to continue his pursuit of top positions.

Shabbir Iqbal of Islamabad ,the top ranked player of the country ,is placed just one stroke behind the two leaders and seeks to settle scores with his upfront rivals in the rounds to come.In the first round noticeable was errant play by Shabbir.Two errors stood out ,one on hole number three and another one on the fourteenth hole.These errors resulted in double bogies and virtually shocked the champion.However his competence enabled him to retrieve the situation as he scored two eagles ,one on hole two and another one on the 5th hole and saved the situation from getting too messy.At the end of the first day ,he lags behind the leaders by merely one stroke and upsets are likely to occur in Fridays second round.

Lagging behind Ahmed Baig ,Arif Ali and Shabbir Iqbal are Matloob Ahmed (Garrison Lahore),Muhammed Rehman(Royal Palm) ,Sajjad Khan(Islamabad),Asad Khan(PAF) and Muhammed Shahzad(Garrison Lahore).These six aspirants are bunched together at a score of par 72.They may not be in the forefront but have shown adequate flair during the first round.A word of praise for upcoming ones like Asad Khan and M.Shahzad who have been successful in reflecting control and mastery.

Three competitors falling in line for honors are Taimoor Khan (Peshawar),Zulfiqar Ali(DHA) and Muhammed Alam(PAF Skyview).They ended the first round at a score of gross 73.
Tee off on Friday takes place at 630am at the Rawalpindi Club Golf Course.

Bryson DeChambeau put his added muscle to good use at one of the toughest courses in the United States

Bryson DeChambeau saved his best round for last at the 2020 U.S. Open, carding a 3-under 67 at Winged Foot on Sunday to claim his first career major championship. DeChambeau’s closing round was just two strokes off the best 18-hole score of the week (65) as he grinded out grueling, sometimes gusty conditions with an effortless combination of his length off the tee and control around the greens.

DeChambeau, who caught and then surpassed 21-year-old Matthew Wolff (the 54-hole leader), was the only golfer in the field to finish with a final-round score under par, cementing himself in the history books in his seventh career win on the PGA Tour. The last time a U.S. Open champion owned the only final-round score under par was 1955 — 38 years before DeChambeau was born (!) — when Jack Fleck pulled off the feat after beating Ben Hogan in an 18-hole playoff. He polished off hole No. 72 in style, too, dropping in a par save and letting out a roar.

It has been a breakout year for DeChambeau, who captured golf’s first major of the 2020-21 season on Sunday. In the last year, he’s added a significant amount of muscle to his 6-foot-1 frame and built himself into the longest golfer off the tees in the world. What’s come of the new edge is five top-five finishes this calendar year, a (previous-best) top-five finish at the PGA Championship last month and an advantage off the tees that’s becoming more pronounced with each passing event.

DeChambeau finished fourth in strokes gained off the tee this week and fourth in driving distance on Sunday. He was also the first player to make an eagle in his final round and win the U.S. Open since 1937, per Justin Ray. DeChambeau accomplished that on the ninth hole and cruised to victory from there.

“On 9 was when I first thought, ‘OK, this could be a reality.’ I made that long eagle putt and shocked myself making it, too. I thought to myself I could do it, and then immediately after I said, ‘Nope, you gotta focus on each and every hole.’ I just kept telling myself ‘Nope, we’ve got three more holes, we’ve got four more holes, we’ve got five more holes.’ Whatever it was, I just had to keep focused, make sure I was executing every shot the best I possibly could.”

Finishing runner-up is the aforementioned Wolff, who was on the precipice of making his own history before surrendering his 54-hole two-stroke lead. If he had closed it out, Wolff would have become the youngest U.S. Open winner since 1923 (Bobby Jones) and youngest major champion since Tiger Woods (1997 Masters). Instead, he finished with a final-round 5-over 75 as he tried to keep up with DeChambeau’s mesmerizing performance. It’s Wolff’s second consecutive top-five finish in a major, however, on the heels of a T4 finish at the PGA Championship last month.

Rounding out the top five is a two-way tie for third between Harris English (+2) and Louis Oosthuizen (+2). There was a three-way tie for fifth with Dustin Johnson, Will Zalatoris and Xander Schauffele all finishing 5 over on the week.

1. Bryson DeChambeau (-6): DeChambeau’s built his game around length off the tees. It’s fitting, then, that he finished third in the field this week in strokes gained off the tee, strutting to his first major championship on the strength of his best skill. DeChambeau had just one bogey all day (on No. 8) and found a new stride after an eagle on No. 9. He played the front nine at 2 under and played a bogey-free back nine at 1 under.

“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it,” DeChambeau said after the round on NBC. “It’s just an honor. It’s been a lot of hard work.”

2. Matthew Wolff (-E): It’s easy to look at Wolff’s runner-up finish as a disappointment after he held the 54-hole lead, but finishing runner-up in a major championship at his age is the stuff of legend. In fact, Wolff, 21, is the youngest runner-up at the U.S. Open in 80 years (Jack Nicklaus, 1960). How he hit only two fairways on Saturday and still squeaked out a 5-under 65 will forever remain majestic. Wolff’s weaknesses, particularly with his putter, showed in his 5-over 75 on Sunday, losing strokes on the field with his putter. But being one of only two professional golfers on tour to not be over par this week at wicked Winged Foot is something he can build off.

3. Louis Oosthuizen (+2): One-time major champion Oosthuizen finished in sole possession of third — his second-best finish at the U.S. Open ever — on the strength of a final-round 73. Oosthuizen played with control all week, finishing in the top 20 in greens hit in regulation and in fairways hit. As treacherous as Winged Foot played all week, it was a distinct advantage he used to overcome his lack of length off the tees.

4. Harris English (+3): Best finish in a major ever for 31-year-old English. He’s coming off one of his most productive seasons on the PGa Tour and was in the thick of it all week. Kicking his day off with a double bogey put his back to the wall early Sunday, he rallied to play the final 17 at 1 over. He finished the week second in the field in fewest number of putts at 111.

5. Xander Schauffele (+4): In each of Schauffele’s four wins, he has entered the final round trailing by at least two strokes. And so entering Sunday, just five strokes off the lead, a comeback didn’t seem likely … but it also didn’t seem entirely impossible. He had a strong even-par opening nine to hang around, but had five bogeys in his last six to drift just outside the mix. Strong overall showing for him this week, finishing first in the field in strokes gained with his short game and 11th putting.

Top 10 U.S. OPEN 2020 Championship picks

1. Dustin Johnson

Where else to begin than with golf’s newest $15 million man. Johnson blew through the Tour’s postseason, including a rewarding payday at East Lake, and now he turns up as the world No. 1 and hot favorite to win the title and betting top choice. Four years eliminated from his success at Oakmont, DJ has a solid history of achievement on U.S. Open venue and is playing the absolute best golf of his career at the perfect time.

2: Justin Thomas

Somewhat overshadowed in recent weeks however equally as complete a player as Johnson. Thomas fired a 63 three years ago at Erin Hills, and keeping in mind that his U.S. Open record otherwise isn’t exactly scintillating, his ball-striking details are. Thomas drove the Tour last season in Strokes Gained: Approach and SG: Tee-to-Green, and coming off a three-win the campaign he has all the tools available to him to catch a second major.

3. Xander Schauffele

It’s hard to seek out a far better list of credentials among a player actually looking for his first major. Schauffele has completed T-6 or better in each of the three earlier U.S. Open appearances and is fourteen days removed from being the best player at East Lake. He’s had various close calls since his last success almost two years ago, has been unshakable since the break and seems ready for a breakthrough.

4. Jon Rahm

Look no farther than Memorial and the BMW to perceive how Rahm charges when difficulties arise. The Spaniard thrived in troublesome conditions in both of his post-pandemic successes, and this week he’ll confront an identical test. If the driver is performing anyplace near how he hit it throughout the end of the week at Olympia Fields, he could be difficult to get as he hopes to win his first major.

5. Collin Morikawa

Morikawa required just two begins to get major No. 1, and now he searches for his second straight in a row during a high-profile pairing with Tiger Woods. The PGA champ has been strong since Harding Park, but his the iron play could be a separating factor this week on a track which will require a few long approaches into par 4s.

6. Tommy Fleetwood

Fleetwood has quite since the re-start, however, he got hot in a rush a week ago in Portugal. The Englishman completed T-3 while getting in excess of 17 shots against the field from tee to green, a ball-striking performance that looks good during the current week. All things considered, it was only two years ago that he shot a final round 63 at Shinnecock Hills and almost got Brooks Koepka simultaneously.

7. Daniel Berger

Berger has been probably one among the best player since the break, yet even a success this week won’t get him into the f upcoming Masters. Up to 13th within the world, he has discovered his tee-to-green section and stays perhaps the best scrambler around the greens. On a course where everybody will miss something reasonable of greens, that would prove particularly important for a player who has four top-3 finishes including a win since June.

8. Webb Simpson

Simpson won this event eight years ago at Olympic and now could be playing even better than he did that late spring. He has won twice this year, both when the break, and brings a strong mix of ball-striking and putting. Add within the poise and presence of a veteran who realizes the stuff to win this tournament and it wouldn’t surprise anyone to ascertain his name close to the head of the leaderboard this weekend, despite the fact that he’s not one of the longer hitters on Tour and confronting a lengthy test.

9. Rory McIlroy

McIlroy is making his first major beginning as a dad, with his little girl’s recent birth now a reasonable clarification for his lack of focus and intensity at any beginnings after the break. McIlroy has the force and ability to compete on any course, including one as difficult as Winged Foot. But he’s never won a tournament with a score higher than 10 under par and his record in this event since his 2011 triumph at Congressional isn’t exactly stellar.

10. Matthew Fitzpatrick

The Englishman is a trendy sleeper pick this week, as he frequently talks about how he prefers difficult tests and supported it up this year with solid showings at Muirfield Village and Olympia Fields. Fitzpatrick is a former U.S. Amateur champ.

Here are the previous winner’s name

• 2011 Rory McIlroy

Justin Thomas -11

He finished during a tie for third with Brooks Koepka as Rory McIlroy was crowned the champion. Thomas looked to possess vengeance firmly on his mind after he birdied three of his first four holes. His momentum stalled a touch from there as he bogeyed No. 7. Birdies on 14 and 18 solidified his hold on the third.

Xander Schauffele (-11)

Xander Schauffele is in 3rd at 11 under Let’s not act surprised that the leader in strokes gained at this course over the last 10 years crushed in round 2 on Saturday. He closed with three birdies in his last four holes, and only a rather drive at the 18th kept him from making it four during a row to finish the day. I’m wary that he’s first in putting so far, but he’s three strokes better than he was at the halfway point in 2017 when he went on to win.

Round 3 Recap

Dustin Johnson opens five-shot lead after the third round of the TOUR Championship

Justin Thomas (-19)

Though he missed a 16-inch putt on Sunday within the third round, he did putt it quite a bit better than he did in either of the two days. He’ll need some help — whether that is the luck of holing out a couple of times as he did on the front nine for eagle on round 3. But he remains No. 1 within the field in strokes gained from tee to green. Another hot day with the putter, a couple of sloppy holes from D.J. on the front nine.

Xander Schauffele (-14)

If you’re taking the pre-tournament strokes applied to the present field out of it, Schauffele is leading this tournament. No surprise there, though, as he absolutely crushes at this golf links. He shot a 32 on the rear nine and has been making everything he’s watching on these greens.

Jon Rahm (-13)

Jon Rahm’s last five rounds are spectacular. The outlier within the group was a 74 at this event in Round 2 on Saturday, but he bounced back with a 66 on round 3 Sunday by making birdie at each of the last two holes. He started last week’s final round trailing Johnson the 54-hole leader by three before running him down and beating him during a playoff.
