Let battle commence

Padraig Harrington announced his team after Billy Horschel won the European flagship event, the BMW at Wentworth. In a perfect world he would have hoped that Bernd Weisberger would not have been an automatic qualifier and Shane Lowry would. The end result was that the Open winner of 2018 would be a [...]

My sporting weekend

There is always someone worse off and in a relatively unproductive betting weekend that person was Austrian golfer Bernd Wiesberger. He was one stroke ahead in the European Masters at Crans Switzerland when he hit the water on the 18th and 20 years old Dane Rasmus Hojgaard in the clubhouse at -13 [...]

The Open: competitors and coverage.

Saturday is known as ‘moving day’ but in truth it was more or less the same leaderboard at the end of the day of Louis Oosthuizen, Collin Morikawa and Jordan Spieth. Oosthuizen and Spieth especially found it difficult. The problem with Spieth’s game these last three Major-less years is his [...]
