Amateur Dechambeau is American Golf's Most Interesting Man. Today at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championships it is he who leads. That’s right, an Amateur. Bryson DeChambeau currently leads the World Number One, Jordan Spieth, the European Number One, Rory McIlroy and other stellar names such as Henrik Stenson, Ricky Fowler and Martin Kaymer.
You can imagine how annoyed the Spiv was yesterday morning when he woke up to find out that Brandt Snedeker didn’t win the Sony Open after a play off. Gomez deserved it and well played, that man. But still managed Each Ways on Sneds and Kisner so on the whole...can’t grumble too much now can I?
The British Open Speedgolf Championships will return to Dale Hill Golf Club in East Sussex on August 14 2016. Come on in if you can shoot a 77 in 34 minutes and 4 seconds. We're sitting this one out.
Back in November we saw the FootJoy FreeStyle for the first time. A golf shoe inspired by a tree frog? Now hear us out, it all sounded a bit crazy frog to us, but it does actually make a lot of sense.
It's back, the GolfPunk weekly Fantasy Challenge. Jimmy Walker has won this the last two years, can he make it a hat trick? Or will Brandt Snedeker do the business? Who will you put in your team of 10? Get stuck in chaps! and win a Golf Buddy GPS watch for your trouble!
Lee Westwood has just posted this video of Arsenal fan Ian Poulter getting a surprise birthday gift from Darren Clarke's Ryder Cup team meeting.
Gareth Bale invited to play on European Tour! Well, he does play of scratch. Will he be joining the hallowed ranks of fellow footballers who tried (and failed) to make a go of it on tour?
Tiger may still be in recovery mode, but that didn’t stop him getting out on the range yesterday to help fellow Nike team member Michelle Wie with her chipping.
“Dubai you say? End of November you say? Two new drivers you say? Smoke me a driver, I’ll be back for my tee time.” I didn't exactly need my arm twisting, and with that I was off to the Arabian Ranches Golf Club to try the latest Callaway XR 16 and XR 16 Drivers.
We profiled Bryson DeChambeau over the weekend, and there’s already more news on him.
If like some of us on the GolfPunk team you're an '80's child (well one of us), you might remember the Sega and Nintendo console wars. Hell would have frozen over before you could ever imagine Mario and Sonic in the same game. Yet here we are in 2016, and not only are they in the same game, they're going to be playing golf together. Thank you Mario and Sonic at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games!
Sergio Garcia is bang up for the Olympics, and desperate to qualify for Spain.
