First day of the PGA

As Rory McIlroy makes the headlines without leading a tourney he will undoubtedly do so when he does standing at the head of the Leaderboard with -5. He was in a group of Major winners comprising Tiger Woods (15), Jordan Spieth (3) and himself (4). Jordan Spieth needs to win the PGA for his Grand [...]

The PGA

Tomorrow the US PGA starts at the Southern Hills course. The PGA is the poor relation of the 4 Majors. Yet The Open only became competitively of global interest when Arnie Palmer played it and –  as a links course – it’s subject to climatic conditions such as wind. The Masters is [...]

My golfing weekend

I know there are those on the Rust sport desk who argue the best sport on tv is the Rugby Premiership. So I would state my case that the golf is most enjoyable too. Duggie Heath shouted the odds for Middlesex’s 370 fourth innings to achieve an unlikely victory over Sussex, but can we include [...]

The Masters

Scottie Scheffler was a worthy winner of the Masters. He may not have the length off  the tee of Dustin Johnson, nor the iron play of Collin Morikawa, nor the silky putting touch of Cameron Smith but he possesses an all-round game and excellent composure. Whatever your lead, it’s always a [...]

The Masters preview

Nothing quite heralds spring like the Masters as the azaleas get in bloom. Although there are only 90 entrants, some ex-green jackets you can dismiss as contenders (I include Tiger Woods here) as well as the 6 amateurs, it is always a tough one to predict. Jon Rahm is the favourite but not in good [...]

My golfing weekend

After a few frustrating weeks when my pick just finished outside the each way positions I was delighted to record a win on Scottie Scheffler in the Dell Matchplay championship in Austin Texas. I had backed Frenchmen Matthew Pavon and the in-form Romain Langasque for the Qatar Masters but neither [...]

On a fundamental sporting dilemma

As regular readers will be aware, on this organ we have a number of subjects that we address upon a recurring basis simply because from time to time – usually prompted by either stories featuring in the media and/or events in our lives – they come mind. Today’s example is arguably a glorious [...]

The Players Championship

The Players Championship at Sawgrass is known as the fifth Major. It has a larger prize money ($20 million) than some of the Majors. The Sawgrass course, designed by Pete Dye, has the signature 17th hole – a par three to an island green. Although Ricky Fowler has never won a Major he has won [...]

My golfing weekend

The Genesis at the Riviera  Course Los Angeles was won by the young Chilean Joaquin Niemann by two strokes from Collin Morikawa. Niemann, like the Mexican Abraham Ancer, reflects the youthful upsurge in Central and South American golf. He impressively hung onto his lead for 4 days. I was on Victor [...]

My sporting weekend.

The two hot favourites to win the Farmers at Torrey Pines San Diego and the DP event in Dubai – Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy – were off the pace and Luke List and Victor Novland emerged as winners. Jon Rahm had two poor final rounds. He now has a Major but doubts still remain about his [...]
