McIllroy Goes to PGA Tour

Interesting to see that Rory McIllroy has moved over to the PGA Tour, but what does this mean for the European Tour? Is it to be a platform for golfers to move onto bigger and better things? It's almost as if there is a league hierarchy in the golf world, with the PGA Tour being the Premier League!

Great Performance by Ishikawa

Japanese golfer Ryo Ishikawa did exceptionally well at The Crowns! As an 18 year old golfer, a top 10 finish would be considered an achievement, but he went beyond this by not only winning the golf tournament, but also shooting an astonishing 58 on the final day!

He also started the final day 6 shots behind the day 3 leader, making the performance even more impressive. It looks like the young golfer has a great career ahead of him - how long will it be until he is playing regularly on the PGA or European Tour?!

Much Needed Rain

It rained! We finally had some rain in the south east [of England], which the golf courses in the area really needed. Sure it's great when your drive bounces on the fairway and goes shooting forward, but trying to send mid-irons onto the green is a nightmare, unless they bounce really early! The rain yesterday was much needed, and I'm looking forward to getting out onto the golf course again.

Davis Honesty Makes Golf a Winner

It was fantastic to see the honesty shown by English golfer Brian Davis in the play-off of the Verizon Heritage. His admission that his golf club touched a reed in his backswing, and the resulting 2-stroke penalty practically gave the golf tournament to Jim Furyk, but showed that golf really is a gentleman's game.

Masters Over

What a great win for Mickelson! The Masters was fantastic to watch, and the Callaway Golfer had a brilliant last day, especially 'that shot' on the 13th! Roll on next year's event =)

Also good to see Tiger Woods back and doing well. By his standards 4th isn't what he's aiming for, but it was still a great performance by the Nike golfer in his 1st golf competition in weeks.
