Jordan and Rickie's Winning What's In The Bags...
It's a double bubble winning weekend as Rickie Fowler and Jordan Speith won the Scottish Open and John Deere Classic respictively.
It's a double bubble winning weekend as Rickie Fowler and Jordan Speith won the Scottish Open and John Deere Classic respictively.
Six time European Tour winner and all round golfing good guy is finally fit after suffering from a costly wrist injury back in March last year. Last week he played his first professional tournament since his injury. This week he's at it again. A few days before Christmas he met up with Gorgeous George to talk fitness training with a rugby team, one armed practice, and new years resolutions...
Bryson Dechambeau, Scottie Scheffler and Max Homa (-6) are the American trio atop the leaderboard following a second blustury afternoon at Augusta National. Conditions were challenging for all, with forceful, gusting winds causing balls to move on greens, sand to be blown from bunkers and a generally cumbersome pace of play.
We had everything on Friday at The Masters: A stellar leaderboard; birdies galore; storm threats; unbelievable recovery shots; a marshall slide-tackling Tiger Woods on the 14th hole (he still made birdie) and some truly comical moments starring Zach Johnson, Rory McIlroy and Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
Dustin Johnson is in charge of the US Open, as he shot a three-under-par 67 to take a four shot lead, and is now the only player to be under par at the half way mark in what has been a gruelling first two days at Shinnecock Hills.
Well, that's one way to get yourself into the Tour Championship. Sergio Garcia came down the last hole at the BMW needing a par to climb from 34th into the all important Top 30 and a place in the lucrative season finale. What ensued bordered on the bizarre...
No one has been going really low today. The rain has made the rough that much more penal, and focused everyone’s attention on hitting fairways. There’s zero reward in being off-line, and that’s kept it conservative out there today. It’s frankly been a very quiet day indeed. Zzzzzzz.
The Open Championship is the final major of the season with the 151st playing of The Open and the 13th at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, the first since 2014. 42 players in the field competed at the 2014 Open Championship, including winner Rory McIlroy and four others that finished in the top 10: Rickie Fowler, Adam Scott, Charl Schwartzel and Shane Lowry.
This was to be a critical session for the Americans if they were to have any hope of retaining the Ryder Cup. But it was to end honours even for the session, leaving the US with a Medinah like mountain to climb as Europe go into the final day 10-6.
The World Cup might be upon us but we can't help being preoccupied with The 2018 Ryder Cup later this year. If it was today... who would be in the European side?
The second Major of the season is almost upon us, and this year’s edition looks more open than most US Opens in recent years.
It's been a bizarre week for golf, what with volcanoes erupting, Jordan Spieth telling us to stop drinking, cocaine being smuggled in 7-irons and college kids being DQ'd left right and centre, but this has to be the craziest.
