    2 minutes of golf typify Europe’s problems.
    Hatton and Lovland, in different pairs, hit the best drives and have the easiest 3rd shots and manage to hit the worst approach shots of their respective 4some. So frustrating as it buoys up the American players and the crowd gets louder

    Absolutely. I’m all for a bit of sporting banter, such as Casey on the first tee messing around with the crowd when he was practicing his swing yesterday, but to actively cheer shots going astray is actually pretty poor. I’d take the Bubba Watson encouraged shouting and whooping over this.

    And there ends the chances of a Joshua v Fury showdown.

    Outboxed and outthought.

    I can't stand Fury, but he'd make mincemeat of him.

    I think it'll still happen, but it's only ending one way, sadly.

    Think this is probably the end of AJ's career now TBH.

    Nah. Unless he doesn't want to fight on.

    I've just seen he's got a re-match clause in the contract so he'll surely take that up if he continues fighting.

    Yep. If he loses that, then maybe he calls it a day. We'll see.

    That was a bit Spursy.

    Usyk was fantastic, well deserved win. AJ should have gone for broke, although I think he realised landing cleanly was unlikely.

    It kind of highlights how much of a joke Joshua - Fury would be (would have been?)

    Maybe, but Fury is probably easier to hit than Usyk. Fury would comfortably win though. Either AJ is not one of the greats.

    Awful shame for Norris, and a bad gamble by McLaren.

    Good result for Red Bull, though...I'm sure they'd have been delighted to go to Turkey only two points off the championship lead.

    Ferrari cocked Charles’ race even more than McLaren did! Kept him out two laps longer than Lando! Twats.

    PS - that’s the one race I really didn’t want rain to arrive to ‘spice things up’ in.

    Not sure Lewis did either! It may have given him his 100th race win but also gave Max a huge increase in points from what he should have got.

    The luckiest man today was Bottas. He was utterly abject, and lucked into fifth.
