Houston Open and Masters

Does the Houston Open won in a play off by JG Holmes provide an indicator for the Masters commencing this Thursday? I think so as Jordan Spieth has now won the Hero and finished second in the Valero this year so he goes to Augusta in top form. He will not be fearing Tiger Woods whose short game has [...]

A betting poo

In the USPGA previous to this – the Bay Hill Arnold Palmer Invitational – I followed Steve Palmer on Henrik Stenson. Leading comfortably I checked my account for the each way odds and I could find no record of the bet. This  is because with my normal incompetence I had the Swede as [...]

The golfing weekend

The three tourneys – the World Championship Cadilac at the Donald Trump Doral course, The Africa Open and the Puerto Rico Open – were won by Trevor Fisher Junior, Dustin Johnson and Alex Cejka respectively. Steve Palmer did  not pick any of these but he did recommend the young [...]

Sporting Sunday

In the great debate amongst the columnists of the Rust on attendance v television-viewing, let me add my ha’porth as I spent most of my Sunday watching in order cricket, championship football, golf, rugby, Italian football and yet more golf. In between I managed to give my cousin from New [...]

The Indian Open and Northern Trust

I can hardly wait for Steve Palmer’s column next Sunday as he predicted the winner of the Indian Open (Arabant Lahiri) and his pick on the USPGA. Dustin Johnson lost in the play off to James Hahn. Johnson just needed to sink a 10 foot putt to win, no doubt costing Steve many bags (thousands). [...]

The weekend’s golf

One of the features of the European Golf so far this year has been the inability of players to defend their lead in the final day. Much to the chagrin of Steve Palmer (and therefore me at 10% of his stake) it happened yesterday as his pick the Thai Thongchai Jaidee looked certain to take the title [...]

The golfing weekend

The Indian golfer Lahiri won the European Tour Malaysia Open though it would be more accurate to say Bernd Wiesberger lost it. When he birdied the first two holes in the final round he was surely home and hosed but his game collapsed when he then bogeyed five holes. Charl Schwarzel and Martin [...]

Does it always have to come to this?

It ill bodes anyone to write off one of the all-time sporting greats, not least for fear of one’s words coming back to bite one on the bum. However, today I read about Tiger Woods’ ignominious retirement with a back injury from the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines after just ten holes [...]

The sporting and betting weekend

As when Rory won his first Major, the U.S. PGA, which was over shadowed by the London Olympics, his fine performance to dominate the Dubai tourney was eclipsed by Andy Murray contesting the Australia Open. I flitted between the two but when the Murray challenge faltered and failed, I concentrated [...]
