Still doing well. Came in tied for 6th at the Doral, better than Tiger Woods :shock: , and earned himself a cool quarter million. Pete :cheers:

Look at "Cadillac" result board at the right side of the link.

TJ's score slipped a bit to a 75 in round 3, but he actually came up the board a few spots. Same link above to check current scores/standings.

The final tomorrow will be a good one, mainly because there is a 20 year old in the final group and sits as co-leader after 3. He would be the youngest ever to win a Masters. Let's see if he can control his nerves. Pete :cheers:

FYI, a replay of the Masters is on Fox Sports, TRUE 163 at 1430 hours. I think it will be on tomorrow showing the final round at the same time. Not live, but best I can find.

It looks like he finished 38th with a 73 today. That should give $42,300 in winnings. Pete :cheers:

Thongchai Jaidee: Holed birdie putt at first extra hole

Thongchai Jaidee beat Stephen Gallacher and Victor Dubuisson in a play-off to capture the Nordea Masters in Sweden.

The Thai bagged his sixth European Tour win by sinking a three-foot birdie putt at the first extra hole after he, Scotland's Gallacher and Frenchman Dubuisson had all posted 16-under in regulation play at PGA Sweden National in Malmo.

Jeeze, surprised he did that well. He was lying second or maybe third after 3 rounds but the weather yesterday was terrible - torrential rain and high winds.
Watched some of it live yesterday evening and he'd dropped 5 shots in the first 5 holes so I thought that was it for him. He looked a forlorn character out there. Definitely not his weather although it wasn't really suiting anyone. He did exceptionally well to come back like that.
