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 [...]

Brighton 4 Manchester United 0

One hopes that the media story will be how good Brighton were in this comprehensive defeat, not how bad United were. It was arguably Brighton’s best performance and result in the Premier. From the start they took the game to a ragged United, whose left flank was exposed where Bruno Fernandes [...]

Sporting issues this weekend

The narrow victory of Northampton Saints (32/31) over Harlequins was enthralling, confirming my view that the most enjoyable sport currently on offer is to be found in the Rugby Premiership. This is subject to one caveat: the uncontested scrum. I checked the rationale for this with Derek Williams. [...]

The Tanner Report: Fulham 0 Nottingham Forest 1

Fulham’s frustrations continue with a disappointing defeat – our third in the run in to a Midlands team (Derby and Coventry  being the other two) and so, with 2 games to go, we still need a point to be crowned champions. Forest deserved their win as they were the side with the greater [...]
