BIG BREAKTHROUGH WEEKEND
20-05-2013 11:49
The US PGA and European Tours each produced first time, breakthrough winners on Sunday - but the two men who did it will not have surprised anyone in the know.
Sang-moon Bae, a 26-year-old South Korean with an impressive Asian record who beat recent major winners Keegan Bradley, who had led from round one, and strong-finishing Charl Schwartzel to win the HP Byron Nelson Championship in t...

0 Comment TIGER: NOW FOR THE MAJORS

Tiger Woods has always been Sergio Garcia's nemesis - and still is. Nothing has changed it seems.
As he has too often done before, Spain's 'El Nino' folded in his closing-stretch battle with the World No 1, this time blowing himself out of contention when he dunked three balls in the water on the final two holes - and this after leading for much of the tournament and then still being tied for t...

ERNST - THE MAN FROM NOWHERE
06-05-2013 11:19
A week ago nobody, least of all Derek Ernst himself, would have believed that on Sunday he would be raising the winner's trophy at the Wells Fargo championship.
Indeed Ernst, who, only a year ago at this time, was in the process of wrapping-up a College education at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas with a degree in hotel management, will happily tell you that he didn't even expect to be pl...

HORSCHEL TRIUMPH NO SURPRISE
29-04-2013 09:40
Billy Horschel, who claimed his maiden US PGA Tour victory at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Sunday is no Johnny-come-lately from out of the blue.
He's been knocking on the door to a title all season.
Born William John Horschel on December 7, 1986, in Grant, Florida, the lean, 175lb six footer, hasn't missed a cut in his last 23 starts this year and, indeed, has been producing t...

NICE AND NOT SUCH NICE GUYS

It was good to see Graeme McDowell finally sail clear of this year's doldrums and surge to victory in the RBC Heritage at scenic Harbour Town Golf Club on Sunday.
Good because the Northern Irishman is a popular figure on the US PGA Tour, a friendly, seemingly laid-back character whose presence always seems to enrich the field he is playing in and the fact that he now owns a Heritage plaid jacke...

SCOTT CLINCHES PUTTER SLAM
15-04-2013 09:13
When Adam Scott won at iconic Augusta National on Sunday, he not only took possession of his first Major, hoisted himself back into the World No 3 spot and gave sports-mad Australia its long-awaited first Masters title, he also clinched a first-ever 'Long-Handled Putter Slam'.
A long-handled Putter Slam?
Horror of horrors for the R&A and the USGA who have announced that they intend banning l...

MIRACLE SHOT NOT BUBBA'S BEST
09-04-2013 08:48
Few of the millions around the world who saw it will ever forget the miracle shot that won last year's Masters play-off for Gerry Lester 'Bubba' Watson.
The big-hitting, 6ft 3in, 34-year-old American, best-known for his booming drives, conjured up an amazing, high-risk, snap-hook with his gap wedge that he somehow managed to safely manoeuvre around a tree and fly on to Augusta National's elevat...

IT'S ABOUT TIME RORY!
01-04-2013 12:09
It's good to see that Rory McIlroy has finally decided to dispense with his cavalier attitude that 'there's more to life than golf' and to knuckle down to the craft that has made him rich and famous.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - I firmly believe the 23-year-old Northern Irish golfing icon has allowed his celebrity status and everything that goes with it to lose sight of the ball...

TIGER'S READY TO GO ALL THE WAY
26-03-2013 08:35
Is the old Tiger back? Yes, it certainly looks that way. The 21st Century's greatest golfer has recaptured the World No 1 spot and looks set to hold on to it for some time to come.
Take a bow and step down Rory McIlroy.
The way things look right now, it's going to take all of your exceptional talents, a lot more focus on golf and some super heroics to regain the crown you have let slip away...

HAVE YOU TRIED G-MAC'S NONA BLUE?
18-03-2013 09:09
If you know anything at all about professional golf, you will know that Graeme McDowell won the US Open in 2010.
You will probably also know that the 33-year-old Northern Irishman from Port Rush broke a 40-year European drought in winning the event and that he has gone on to play key roles in Europe's Ryder Cup victories since then.
You might also know that after learning his golf as a schoo...
