Jason Day has had a season for the ages. In a year when Jordan Spieth has dominated the majors, and Rory McIlroy has had his fair share of the headlines, Jason Day has stepped up and shown he can be one of the dominant players of the era.
It didn’t rain (that much) today, and the crowds came out in their droves. Who says the young guns aren’t already making a difference? They came to see Jordan, and he did not disappoint. In the end he won comfortably with a two under 69 to beat Henrik Stenson by four shots.
More rain. It rained all night, and most of the day to put a dampener on moving day scoring. The day went to Jordan Spieth, who had to make four serious par saves to keep in contention. He then nailed a twenty-footer on the 18th for a birdie to overtake Henrik Stenson for the outright lead.
At last, a European Tour event in England!! And a really, really, good line up: The British Masters is hosted by Ryder Cup legend Ian Poulter and will see a star studded field take to the Woburn course on 8th October.
No nonsense Aussie coaching from Sandy Jamieson. First up, how to hit the ball 400 yards.
While Nicky C didn’t manage to keep the lead going into round two of the italian Open, Scandanavians Jens Fahrbring and Lucas Bjerregaard zoom to the front at Monza. Fahbring shot a 64 with nine birdies, while his playing partner Bjerregaard put a 65 together, with five birdies and an opening eagle at the first.
World number errr...., two? Or is it one? Anyway, top performing golfer Rory McIlroy has announced he will play at the Turkish Airlines Open in October.
Rickie Fowler bagged his third PGA Tour victory with a one shot win over Henrik Stenson. Plus Jordan Spieth back to World No1!
Today was as much about who was hot as who was not. Jordan fell into the latter category, so he’ll be resting again on Sunday and Monday’s Labor Day finish. And as for Rory? Well, read on.
The PGA announced today, Thursday, that it would not be staging this year’s Grand Slam of Golf. Here’s why.
Someone who really caught our eye this weekend at The Barclays from Plainfield Country Club was one Zac Blair. He finished tied 4th with Zach Johnson on -10 and nine shots off the winner Jason Day.
Jordan Spieth missed the cut this week at The Barclays. It happens. We got so used to Tiger Woods being seemingly infallible when he was World Number One that everyone panics that the end of the world is nigh when the official best player in the world misses the cut. A panic that Jordan will never play a good round again. Yet even the best don’t play the weekend every tournament.
