It’s that time of year again when a high quality European Field makes the trip up to Scotland for the slightly obscure tournament setup of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championships which takes place at three different Golf Courses over a period of four days.
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.
The Solheim Cup is, without doubt, the biggest event on the Women’s Golf Calendar. However the debate about whether Women’s golf is doing enough to inspire young girls to get some clubs and head to the range remains shadowed by a large grey cloud that looms heavily over the game. But there are a standout few, who are flying the flag for women’s golf high above that thick grey cloud
There were a number of great rounds out there today. Henrik Stenson was lurking ominously with an opening two rounds of 67 and 68, and today he moved up another gear, shooting a 65. And as for Rickie? Well, read on.
There’s a super-premium, totally top end caper going on this weekend over at Sea Island Georgia, and then on Sir Richard Branson’s private Necker island. We cannot find out how much it costs. If you need to ask, then you can't afford to go. We're staying home....
It was Bubba Watson’s day at the Barclays yesterday, as he shot a 2 under 68 to add to his opening day 65. Going into moving day, Bubba leads Henrik Stenson, Tony Finau, Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner by a single shot.
Ed's Letter PGA Week. Including Help The Gravy, Bunch Of Arse and the GP Jukebox
Dust yourself down, and get back in the mix, and in the words of Michael Barrymore, I’ve got a bit of top, middle and bottom for you this week. Otherwise translated as shorty, middle of the pack, and a ‘buy a house’ outsider. So enough of the waffle and off to Whistling Straits, where Dustin knows how expensive those ‘bunkers’ can be!
So the Golf Spiv came in with a winner, David Lingmerth coming in third at an 80-1 eachway bet.
Tiger finishes the first round 3-under and five behind the leaders in the low scoring conditions in Virginia. Andy Sullivan is top Brit at 6-under.
Tiger Woods is now 266th in the OWGR. That’s not his lowest ever, but the last time he was that low he was an amateur. He’s one place better than Max Orrin, a promising 21 year old from Margate who’s won twice on the Challenge Tour.
The winning streak continues for Sergio Garcia's Fireballs GC. The wins keep piling up for Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann.
