No count how regularly it happens, it always appears a touch bizarre to speak approximately seasoned golf being performed on Thanksgiving. I guess it shouldn't; different seasoned sports play on Thanksgiving -- even though there aren't any NBA basketball video games on Thursday, there may be 3 NFL football video games. (Seriously -- how can it's Thanksgiving if there is no soccer? That's nearly unAmerican!)
No be counted how bizarre it can appear to me, we've nonetheless were given 2 tournaments to watch this week.
The first one -- and honestly the most interesting IMO -- is the Emirates Australian Open which starts offevolved broadcasting this night at 8pm ET on GC. The event is returning to the Royal Sydney Golf Club for the first time due to the fact that 2008 when Tim Clark received it. In many ways Royal Sydney is like Royal Melbourne; the wind and bunkering make it very tough, so this ought to be a completely competitive event.
Of path, the main cause this event will draw attention is Adam Scott's try to win the Australian Triple Crown (Australian PGA, Masters, and Open) in a unmarried yr. Jason Day is also gambling -- inside the identical pairing with Scott and Kevin Streelman, in fact -- and Rory McIlroy is likewise inside the subject.
You can test out the Emirates Australian Open internet site at this hyperlink. (The image is from this web site.) And you can get to the stay leaderboard with the "Scoring" button simply beneath the header.
The different tourney is the European Tour's Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa. The huge question here is whether or not Charl Schwartzel -- who gained this factor through a whopping 12 strokes closing 12 months -- can discover his game once more. It's not like Charl is playing horrible golfing but lately it appears that evidently he gets in rivalry, best to have one or holes derail his recreation. He's gained this tourney twice even though and with that 12-stroke victory ultimate yr, you've got to determine this is a great place for him to interrupt via once more.
The Alfred Dunhill Championship tournament principal web page is right here. The leaderboard is not showing yet, so just use the button in this page to get there as soon as the tourney starts offevolved. (And sure, that button is labeled "Leaderboard.") And the event itself begins broadcasting Thursday morning at 6:30am ET on GC.
So we will have plenty of possibilities to watch golfing before stuffing ourselves with turkey, and plenty more possibilities when we get stuffed. I guess that is some thing to be glad about as nicely.
