The golfing weekend

Two winners of whom you may not have heard on the European Tour and US PGA and a boost to the European Ryder team when Europe thrashed Asia were the features of the weekend … not to mention a massive win for Pargie. The European Tour is still in South Africa in Johannesburg. Last year I was [...]

The golfing weekend

Both the Hero Challenge in Bermuda  and the Nedbank at Sun City had associations with iconic golfers Tiger Woods and Gary Player. Tiger Woods and his foundation were mine host at Bermuda in an invitational  shorter numbered tourney won by Bubba Watson. He only entered at the last moment when [...]

The golfing weekend

Rory Mcilroy won both the DP world Championship and Race to Dubai after an exciting back nine tussle with Andy Sullivan. Rory hit the water on the 17th, sunk a 30 foot putt to make a bogey and recovered on the 18th to win by two shots. This is his third Race to Dubai victory in four seasons. Andy [...]

BMW Masters/Shanghai

There was an incident right at the end of the BMW Masters that I found a disturbing breach of golf etiquette and one of the reasons why golf does not televise well. Kristoleff Broberg and Patrick Reed were the club house leaders at -17. The remaining three on the course were playing the 18th, [...]

Rosie and Smylie

It was a good weekend for Justin Rose who won the UBS Hong Kong Open and Smylie Kaufman who took the Shriners US PGA. It was a good weekend for me as I backed Rose, Matthew Fitzpatrick who finished 3rd and Yang who finished in the top ten, plus Jason Bohn in the top 5 in the Shriners and the 0-0 [...]

The coach potato speaks

Yesterday I was on the couch to watch both rugby quarter finals, the Portuguese  Open won by Andy Sullivan at a canter and Fiorentina lose to Napoli. Like many on the Rust, and not just the rugby section, I’m totally enthralled by the World Cup and watched every quarter final with some [...]

The golfing weekend

It proved an enthralling weekend with a new young British champion at a British event and a palpitating contest in the Presidents Cup,  Matthew Fitzpatrick aged 21. Sheffield born, but educated in a North West US university he kept his cool in a final round to fight off the challenge of Shane [...]

The golfing weekend

Jordan Spieth trousered a cheque for $9m from FedEx by winning the U.S. PGA event at East Lake, Augusta. He and Jason Day with 5 wins respectively and 3 of the 4 Majors dominated the year. Day didn’t really feature on the  leaderboard but Henrik Stensen who always comes good this time of [...]

The golfing weekend

Rikard Karlberg won the Italian Open in a play off with Martin Kaymer who threw away a 3 shot lead in the back nine with three bogeys. The German has not won since he coasted the US Open in 2014 which is rather odd. Sweden really only has one household name Henrik Stensen but a clutch of lesser [...]
