"There’s so many people to choose from, it’s a hard one, that’s for sure. I could choose footballers, models, even friends, but I’m going to go for three people with completely different personalities to keep it interesting."
Well he’s been at it again, sat between a pile of his dad’s old records, and a loadof his old GolfPunk magazines he’s put together the top 10 of all top 10’s, and promised us it’s not just a list of his favourite bands. Over to you, George...
Following a disastrous opening in the day one fourballs, Europe battled back across the following two days to retain the Solheim Cup as they tied 14-14 with the United States, with Carlota Ciganda sinking the putt to clinch the title in her homeland at Finca Cortesin.
English prodigy Josh Hill warmed up for his European Tour debut in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on Thursday by taking on world No 1 Brooks Koepka in a friendly match – a match the youngster won!
It’s Manic Monday, so here is a very quick round up of all the results and stories from the weekend on the PGA Tour, European Tour, LPGA and Women’s European Tour.
How do you come back from blowing a seven shot lead in a major? Well, fortunately for Brooks Koepka it is a question that he will not have to answer. Staring down the barrel of the gun and the biggest collapse in golf major history, Koepka dug deep, held his nerve and took the title.
Will it be a Monday finish at the 83rd Masters?
Blimey, this thing just won't go away. Now – despite Koepka refuting there was an altercation between him and DJ, it's alleged that the two also had to be separated on the plane over to Paris a week earlier. Jim Furyk was embarrassed, and now we are hearing that the WAGS were involved...
No one said it was going to be easy and Europe captain Thomas Bjorn had some horrible phone calls to make including to Matt Wallace who won the last tournament before picks were confirmed (his third win of the year) and to Rafa Cabrera Bello who lost out to his fellow Spaniard Sergio Garcia.
All eyes were on Tiger Woods at The Open at Carnoustie as the American put himself inline to win his first major since 2008 after being five-under-par at 66 on Saturday, which is his lowest round at a major tournament in the last 7 years. However, the former world number one couldn’t convert his one-shot lead into his 15th major victory and now the question is will he see this as a setback or something to build on?
The 2018 US Open will feature a two-hole aggregate format in the event of a playoff. It's a welcome move by the USGA, given previous years where the event was extended by a day and tied players competed over 18 extra holes. Normally in front of pretty sparse crowds as people are back to work on Monday.
Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn will partner his Solheim Cup counterpart Catriona Matthew when the European Tour includes women in a team golf event for the first time later this year.
