It was the gas
It was another collaps-a-thon in the final round of the Australian open when Kiwi David Smail took the gas and blundered a 4 stroke lead to end the day at 8 under. No real surprise there in my opinion, Kiwis can not take the pressure in any circumstance, sport or otherwise!!
The comedy of errors continued when a play off between South African Tim Clarke and Australian Masters gas taking runner up Matthew Goggin got to the 18th green. With Goggin in prime position on the green and Clark in the bunker it looked as though and easy two putt would see the playoff as a minimum continue for another hole. But Goggin had other ideas, when Clark got up and down out of the bunker Goggin made a horrendous 3 putt to hand the tournament to Clark on a silver platter.
I just can’t believe Goggin’s form. He threw away the Australian Masters and yesterday got himself in a position to win again and crumbled like last weeks dog turd. Please be aware members of the public, if anyone fitting Goggins description arrives at the Gap please tie him to a tree before he can jump. He may have slit his wrists so be ready with a needle and thread.
Apache Cat disappointed also yesterday with a battling third in the Hong Kong Sprint Group 1. He looked in good position but let another horse get a run just ahead of him at the top of the straight. Unfortunately it was this same horse he was unable to claim in the shadows of the post. I look forward to the next showing from the Cat.
As for Goggin….. you ok mate? You alright?
Dear Crew, I will be heading to the Maldives for the next few weeks. I’m not sure what level of connectivity I’ll have while I’m there. Please continue to carry on without me. Rob, please continue your good work on site.
Thanks for listening.
Have you got it in for Matthew Goggin. You were negative about him last week and you are attacking him again today. Did he beat you as a kid?
You didn’t mention Apache Cat was running in your Friday post so I didn’t think to watch. Probably lucky really mate.
Who didn’t beat SJ as a kid????? In fact he still gets beaten up by kids…………
surfy kids.
Good riddens dipstick
