It’s the last major of the year, the U.S. Women’s Open. It has been an awful year but at least all but one of the women’s majors has survived, the Evian Championships being the one casualty. It will be a brave man or woman who will bet against the winner coming from South Korea.
As the sun set on a sensational ten days in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Denmark’s Emily Kristine Pedersen completed the ‘Saudi Sweep’ of titles, adding to her season’s trophy haul with victory in both the team and individual standings at the inaugural Saudi Ladies Team International.
Tommy Fleetwood will go in search of a third Rolex Series victory at the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open after making the most of wet conditions at The Renaissance Club. Fleetwood is joined at seven under par alongside Ryder Cup teammate Ian Poulter, who battled to a 73, Swede Marcus Kinhult (71) and Ormsby (70).
Sam Horsfield is aiming to make it a hat-trick of victories in the space of four UK Swing events when the Englishman tees it up in the ISPS HANDA Wales Open on the same course upon which he triumphed just last week.
Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama will go head to head in a globally televised skins game, the first in a series of annual competitions staged by GOLFTV. "The Challenge: Japan Skins" will take place on the 21st October ahead of the PGA Tour's Zozo Championship at Accordia Golf Narashino C.C. in Chiba, Japan, and we will not be watching.
World number one, Jin Young Ko, walked arm in arm up to the 18th green at the CP Women’s Open yesterday with defending champion and local girl Brooke Henderson, as she cruised to a five shot lead over her nearest rival, Denmark’s Nicole Broch Larsen, to confirm that she is in her class of her own on the LPGA Tour this year.
Ok we are not going to let this one drop. Slow play is killing our game and the lead must come from the professional ranks. In the second round of the Northern Trust, Bryson DeChambeau took it to another level.
I’m probably going to get shot down in flames for this one, but I am going to put it out there, Mr Woods is a lucky golfer. It may be golfing blasphemy akin to suggesting the Beatles, excluding their early stuff, were not that good or suggesting that David Beckham was actually not all that brilliant.
The spotlight was back on the resurgence of Mizuno irons on the major tours this weekend, with a 3rd win in as many weeks.
One week to go to the Ryder Cup, it should be a thriller!! This week the Portugal Masters and last round of fed ex play off the tour championship
Mizuno has yet more cause to celebrate after its MP-18 SC and MP-18 MMC irons claimed the top two spots in the MyGolfSpy.com ‘Most Wanted Players Iron Test 2018’.
We've all said it to ourselves at some point on the golf course. Just stop trying to hit the darned thing so hard. But what is the driver for, if not for blasting that puny little white thing into orbit?
