Then low chance liao lor... cos they always left out the Asian Player...

Too bad LCB is playing with Fdez-Castano & Marc Turnesa, cos i dun think this group is going to get much air time.

The only way is to play magically & end up in the final groupings for the last day. Since this is a WGC event, LCB is representing SG 'officially'. Imagine him winning the event, SG government will extend public holiday to Tuesday.

with all respect to the man, i hope some of you do not think that i am being sarcastic of our local talent, but it is the inconvenient truth that TV networks will only follow the flights that can gain better viewership.

You never know that LCB might get his 5 minute air time when he stray his shot into the next fairway that tiger is playing, and since they have to wait for LCB to clear the shot back to his fairway, might as well take shots of him?


oh dear. i think i just made matters worse.

MC, I'm afraid that you may be right. The TV Channels focus on the main players and if LCB is going to get air time, he has to play very well or be in the same flight with the more well-known players. It's an unfortunate truth but this is TV after all.

Well, whatever it is.
Its great that our little red dot is getting some representation at the event.

ha nor ha nor.

In Malaysia, the chances of that happening are likely. In addition, he'll get Datukship, one house and a Proton Perdana car.

Wow great!!! One more xtra day for golf!!! But i think this is only happening in my dream tonite lor...

Anyone seen 'fake' VR blades before in a tour player's bag?

For those who are considering the switch to the new VR blades, I still agree with AK the old ones still feel better. Funny how Nike try and mask it to look like the VRs.

I'm gunning for these: Satin MB710s

the tittys are gorgeous..

/drool

LCB has already make red dot proud being in the WGC la. Win or not, it doesn't matter. He is there and that itself an impressive achievement.

Rex, dun understand the comment on "fake" VRs. Can elaborate?

Eh, how come all the bag has weird items like chopstick looking and rulers??? Golfers are a weird bunch huh..
