Lee Slattery shot a superb -7 under par 63 on moving day at the KLM Open to share the lead with Rafa Cabrera- Bella on -16. If Lee can get over the line tomorrow that will be back-to-back European Tour wins, after he bagged the Russian Open last week.
Good work Tom Watson! Makes the cut and then some... Rounds of 69, 68, 68 roll back the years.
Rickie Fowler bagged his third PGA Tour victory with a one shot win over Henrik Stenson. Plus Jordan Spieth back to World No1!
The Russian Open was the first week for tour players to score Ryder cup points. Yet if Lee Slattery, David Horsey, Pablo Martin Benavides or James Heath make the final 12 we will eat our hats and then apologise profusely to them. Here are our tips as to which rookies will make the team at Hazeltine in 2016.
England's Lee Slattery held his nerve to win his second European Tour title with a one-shot victory over Argentinian Estanislao Goya at the Russian Open. Slattery is now top of the new Ryder Cup points table.
This week’s action moves to the Deutsche Bank at the TPC Boston. The course was originally designed by Arnold Palmer and built in 2003, but was then redesigned by Gil Hanse and Brad Faxon, the PGA Tour Player, in 2007. Their brief was to make the course blend more naturally into its New England setting. Here's what we think is going to be this tournament's Hell Hole.
Last year Chris Kirk won this event as the Tour makes it way to the TPC of Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship. Is he playing well enough to put in your fantasy team this week? We reckon Keegan Bradley is a good shoout, with no worse than a top 16 finish in the event, while Jordan Spieth shot a 62 in his final round in 2013. That Barclays missed cut was only a blip...
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....
As Morrissey once sang, “Heaven knows I’m miserable now”. And as the heavens have opened, it’s chucking it down outside. When all we realy want to be doing is following a little white orb around a prepared field of grass with holes cut into it, making said orb disappear down a hole 18 times. But help is at hand as we’ve got some of the latest waterproofs for your perusal to help keep you dry when you want to let it fly…
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.
Two time major winner, and GolfPunk legend John Daly was last night rushed to hospital after collapsing on the 18th tee at Deerfield Golf Club. Daly who placed at No.4 in our Top 50 GolfPunks, was playing a small tournament in Jackson, Mississippi when he had breathing difficulties on the last hole.
There was a bizarre incident at today’s moving day at the Czech Masters. Belgium Thomas Pieters shot a 7 under 65 to take a one-stroke lead over Sweden’s Pelle Edberg going into the final day. And he managed his 65 with a two shot penalty for hitting the wrong ball!
