We got called out on twitter the other week over the fact that The Shire was not the only golf course to be designed in the UK by Seve Ballesteros.

She is only 20, has never played a major championship or even played outside Japan until this week and now Hinako Shibuno finds herself leading the Women’s British Open at Woburn.

Kevin Harvick is a NASCAR racer, and clearly a bit of a golf junkie. As a big fan of the 12th at Augusta, he thought he’d build one in his own back yard. We think he’s made a pretty good stab at it.
Zac Johnson was playing his 12th hole of the day, the par-4 third at TPC River Highlands, when his 18-foot birdie putt stopped right on the edge of the hole.....
England’s Georgia Hall produced another excellent day as she fired a round of 68 to sit on 10-under-par at the top of the Aramco Saudi Ladies International presented by Public Investment Fund leaderboard. The 2018 Women’s Open winner, who has shared the lead on the first two days at Royal Greens, rolled in four birdies and one bogey on her front nine.
It may be the start of a new season for Justin Thomas, but he is simply carrying on from where he left off as he shoots a 9 under par 63 to take the lead at the CJ Cup in South Korea.

Last year we thought we had seen Tom Watson’s final appearance at St Andrews, and we were there to cheer him in on the 18th as the light faded fast. Now it’s the turn of Augusta to bid him farewell.
Santiago Luna stayed in control throughout the final round as he marched to victory at the Farmfoods European Senior Masters.
