I’m a huge fan of Donald Ross-designed golf courses.

Two events this week, the Nedbank from South Africa and Mayakoba from Mexico, part of the PGA tour.
After opening rounds of 65-65, Martin Kaymer went on to record a stunning eight shot victory at Pinehurst No. 2 in 2010. Two months earlier he'd won the Players at Sawgrass. Which meant he'd won on both Mothers' and Fathers' Days. Which was a bit selfish if you think about it.

I've been banging on about Kevin Kisner to anyone who'd listen to me since he won his first PGA title, the RSM in November 2015. On interviews with TalkSport Radio I've made him my outside tip for major after major. To the point it just got embarrassing...

Rain. Stopped. Play. That pretty much sums up day three at The Zurich Classic. While a few players managed to tee off in their third round, the leader Brian Stuard only managed the six holes to finish his second round.
The overwhelmingly most played and best performing wedges in the game – Vokey Design SM8 – are now available in an ultra-premium Slate Blue finish. Master Wedge Craftsman Bob Vokey has always stressed the importance of players having confidence in their wedge at address, and finish plays a key role in that.
Golf young guns Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy and Jason Day have been pivotal in drawing a wide audience, but the sport is missing the 'Tiger' factor when it comes to 'fringe fans', says a leading golf executive. But is he missing the point?
