He’s at it again, that Gorgeous George, sat between a pile of his dad’s old 78s, and a load of his old GolfPunk magazines. George has put together the top 10 of all top 10’s, and promised us it’s not just a list of his favourite bands. Plus a badly photoshopped picture to prove the point!
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.
Graeme Storm took the lead with Ross Fosher and Charl Schwartzel at the Porsche European Open at Golf Resort Bad Griesbach.

Jason Day had a nice stroll in the park today. No one came anywhere near challenging, and he won with a totally comfortable six shot victory over Daniel Berger. It was more about who would be going to the Tour Championship. Here's who.

It was Thomas Pieters maiden victory at the D+D Real Czech Masters this weekend, when he secured a three shot victory over Pelle Edberg at the Albatross Golf Resort in Prague. Here's his backstory, and why we think we will be seeing a lot more of him.
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.
Anyone who watched The Barclays will realise Jason Day is playing golf on a different planet to everyone else at the moment. He is absolutely munching his TaylorMade R15 460 driver off the tee, while his Spider proto putter was holing putts for fun, with a 29ft, and 33ft putts made in his final round.
Jason Day won the Barclays in an absolute procession, his 19 under par score was six shots better than second placed Henrik Stenson. The Australian golfer has continued his form from the PGA Championship and was in a different league to the rest of the field as he took his fourth title of the season.
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.
