Paul Lawrie believes GB&I Walker Cup selectors have made a mistake by leaving Law out of team

PAUL Lawrie has claimed that Great Britain & Ireland have hampered their chances of winning the Walker Cup at Royal Aberdeen in a fortnight's time due to the shock omission of his fellow North-East native, David Law, from the home line-up for the biennial event.Former Open champion Lawrie, who failed in a bid to get a late invite for Law, a player he mentors through the Paul Lawrie Foundation, to the Johnnie Walker Championship, which starts today at Gleneagles, is convinced captain Nigel Edwards and his fe llow selectors have got it wrong by leaving the 20-year-old out of the ten-man Walker Cup team.

Along with many other observers, Lawrie believed Law, a Royal Aberdeen member, had done enough to earn a crack at the Americans after winning the Scottish Amateur Championship for the second time in three years at Western Gailes in Ayrshire last month.

He was also astonished to learn that Alan Dunbar, who is lying 208th in the amateur world rankings, had been selected ahead of Law, who is not only ranked 87th but also beat the Irishman in the Home Internationals at Rosse Point a fortnight ago.

"I think surprise would have been the first reaction and then, when you find out that there's someone been selected that's 121 places below David in the world rankings, then it becomes more shock than anything else," said Lawrie.

"I don't think they have the ten best players on the GB&I team and, unless you get that, you're always going to risk losing."

Law, who has missed out again this week - the two amateur spots in the field have gone to Walker Cup selection James Byrne and SGU Order of Merit leader James White - has been backed by Lawrie to bounce back from the bitter blow.

"He's disappointed, as everyone connected with him, especially his parents, myself and the Foundation, are. You put a lot in and it would have been great if he had made it. I think he felt he had done enough to make it," added the Aberdonian.

"However, it has not been difficult to pick him up - he shot 64 at Hazlehead after the selections were made. That shows it's not going to have any lingering affect. Mentally, he's very strong. He works hard and soaks it all in. He's going to the Tour School and we'll see what happens there."

Lawrie, who finished third behind Swede Peter Hedblom over the PGA Centenary Course two years ago and won for the first time in nine years on the European Tour when he claimed the Andalucian Open title in Malaga in March, is making his first appearance this week since the Open Championship at Royal St George's. A back injury, sustained as he was lifting his son's power trolley out of the boot of his car, stopped him from travelling to Killarney for the Irish Open last month but he has certainly not been sitting at home with his feet up.

Golf: Glencorse joy

GLENCORSE have won the Morison Millar Tournament for the first time since 1980.

Sisters Emily and Jessica Dalgetty joined forces with Kirsten Blackwood and Valeria Hallam to end the club's drought in the event at Mortonhall.

Their combined two-round total of 305 was good enough for a two-shot win over Comiston Ladies, with Lothianburn a shot further behind in third.

Wright on form after a fine start at foggy Gleneagles

WEST LINTON'S Gareth Wright led the Lothians challenge as almost half the field returned to Gleneagles early this morning to complete their opening rounds in the Johnnie Walker Championship.The Tartan Tour player shot a two-under-par 70 over the PGA Centenary Course to sit in a tie for 21st after play was delayed for nearly two-and-a-half hours due to early-morning fog in Perthshire. Wright, whose dad Ian is the pro at West Linton, secu red his place in the European Tour event through the PGA Scottish Region last year.

But the Welshman is no stranger to playing at this level and he bagged five birdies in producing a splendid opening effort in the £1.4?million event.

"I'm very pleased overall - it's a good start," said Wright, who reckoned a group that included two of his Tartan Tour colleagues - David Patrick and Scott Henderson - had worked in his favour.

"While I won't deny I was feeling nervous on the first tee, I think that was an advantage and if I'm still around for the weekend I might get drawn with a big name then," he added.

Former Mortonhall man Patrick was also going along nicely at one time, having covered his opening 11 holes in three-under. But back-to-back double bogeys led to him having to settle for a 74.

Stephen Gallacher, who just got finished before play was stopped around 8:30pm, signed for the same score after he ran up a quadruple-bogey 8 at the eighth.

The Saltman brothers, Elliot and Lloyd Saltman, both had 73s earlier in the day, while Paul McKechnie and David Drysdale were level-par and three-over respectively as they resumed this morning.

Golf: Buzzing Mark Foster first to emerge from gloom to set early pace in Perthshire

IT was a strange opening day in the Johnnie Walker Championship. First a blanket of fog caused a delay that lasted two hours and 40 minutes. Then, as the sun came out, so, too, did wasps. All sorts of insects, in fact.
They proved troublesome. Ross Fisher, one of the three members of last year's winning Ryder Cup team in the field, was first to report the pesky devils. You could say he was stung into action. Out in 40, he stormed home in 31.

Mark Foster, who set the clubhouse target with a six-under-par 66 over the testing PGA Centenary Course, was bothered by them , too. "I was out with David Howell and Jamie Donaldson and I would say two out of the three backed off every shot," said the Englishman. "They were mainly wasps but there were hovver flies and I even saw a couple of bees."

Over one putt, Foster refused to back off. "I felt good over a birdie putt at the 12th so I hit the ball with one of them one it," he added. "It's going to come off when you hit it anyway - and I just felt in a good place." It was a good decision. The putt dropped for one of eight birdies.

Six of them came on the back nine - his outward half after starting at the tenth. He was out in 30, but it could have been even better. "It could have been a special nine holes," said the 36-year-old. In explanation, he missed a decent birdie chance at the tenth then three-putted the 16th after being "over-aggressive" with an eagle putt.

Foster has played competitively just once in the last six weeks. He warmed up for his event with some social golf in Scotland. "I played at Carnoustie on Sunday, then Kings Course here on Monday and here (the PGA Centenary] on Tuesday - a perfect three days," he reckoned.

His recent light schedule was the result of feeling "a little bit down". That was caused by three decent performances that went unrewarded. He finished third in the BMW International in Germany, was second a week later in the French Open then finished 14th in the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart. He led at some point in all of them. "I had a good run of events yet didn't get into The Open, which was frustrating," he admitted. Did he spend the time off blaming himself for failing to win any of those events? "Not at all," he said. "In Germany, I was a little bit annoyed as I feel I didn't do myself justice. But Sergio (Garcia] went crazy for a few holes.

"I then went to France and was really proud of myself, but things generally didn't go my way. I felt I played as good as I could.

Golf: Scotland rely on Turner

CRAIGIELAW'S Jane Turner has retained her spot in the Scottish side defending the Women's Home Internationals title at Hillside in a fortnight's time.
But Mortonhall's Rachael Watton, who also played in the winning team in Wales last year, is absentee on this occasion due to the fact she heads off tomorrow to start a golf scholarship in Denver, US.

The side for the Senior Women's Home Internationals, at Tramore later in September, also includes one Lothians representative in Craigmillar Park's Karen Ballantyne.

Colin Montgomerie: Don't give Olly a wildcard nightmare

Ex-Ryder Cup skipper pleads with US-based Europeans not to rely on being picked by 2012 captain OlazabalCOLIN Montgomerie, last year's winning Ryder Cup captain in Wales, has warned Europe's leading golfers that they'll be taking "a risk" if they base themselves in the United States when it reaches crunch time in the race to be on Jose Maria Olazabal's team to face the Americans at Medinah next year.

Twelve months ago, Luke Donald, Paul Casey, Padraig Harrington and Justin Rose were all vying for the three wild-card spots in Montgomerie's team at Celtic Manor yet, instead of playing in the final qualifying event – the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles – they were in America chasing the big money on offer in the FedEx Cup.

It left the Scot with a massive headache and he eventually overlooked Casey, the world No 9 at the time, and handed his wildcards to Donald, Harrington and Edoardo Molinari, the winner in Perthshire. Now Montgomerie is hoping players will have learned lessons so as to avoid putting Spaniard Olazabal in a similar position in a years' time.

The qualifying race tees off in Switzerland next week – five players will come off a world points list and another five from a European one – and will conclude at the Johnnie Walker event next August, when the wildcards up for grabs in the European team will be down to just two at the request of new captain Olazabal.

"I think it surprised us that a world top-10 player didn't make it last time and I hope that scenario doesn't come up again as it was a very difficult decision," said Montgomerie, who has been paired with Olazabal in the opening two rounds of the £1.4 million event over the PGA Centenary Course.

"I hope that it is more cut and dry for Jose than it was for me. But, if you base yourself in America, you are taking a risk to make the team. I don't want to be the guy that changes the rule book on having to play in this event (the Johnnie Walker Championship]. I asked players to play and one of the guys (Molinari] got picked because he not only played but won. I think that some players didn't believe the risks involved in not making that top nine. It is quite straightforward. You have a qualification. If you don't make the top 10, you might not make the team as you can't rely on a pick. For any player to rely on a pick is wrong. If you are not in the top 10, if you have not qualified, you are at risk – simple as that."

One Ryder Cup hopeful who won't enter the race until January is American-based Martin Laird, Scotland's top-ranked player. That's when he'll be taking up membership of the European Tour, having decided he would be unable to fulfil the minimum number of events required this year.

It means he'll have to play catch-up but Montgomerie, an eight-time Ryder Cup player, is confident his fellow Scot will still have plenty of time to force his way into the reckoning, just as Molinari did in 2010 after he graduated from the Challenge Tour the previous season.

"He proved to me that he was capable of playing in the Ryder Cup and it's up to Martin Laird now to do what Edoardo Molinari did, win three times, to get as close as he possibly can to qualification and be one of those two picks – if he doesn't already qualify himself. I wish him well. It would be nice to get some Scottish representation again. It's been 2006 since a Scot (Montgomerie at The K Club) was in the team and that's too long."

While the Ryder Cup was a topic that peppered Montgomerie's pre-event press conference at Gleneagles, where he is the tournament chairman, he won't be the one raising it with Olazabal out on the lush fairways of the PGA Centenary Course.

"I'll be offering no advice to Jose unless he asks," noted the Scot, who is making his first appearance on the European Tour since the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart in early July. "If there's something that's bothering him or there's a problem, he knows my number. But he's got as much experience as I have in Ryder Cups and I don't forsee those difficulties arising.

"He's his own man, a very passionate man and I don't envisage any phone call, to be honest. I didn't need the support of Nick (Faldo], Bernhard (Langer] or Woosie (Ian Woosnam) and he might not need mine."

This week's event is the latest test for the 2014 Ryder Cup venue – another re-modelling of the troublesome seventh green has been given a massive thumbs up from players so far – and Montgomerie is not ruling himself out for a second stint as captain then.

"If the Tour Committee ask me to do it again, of course I would take that role. I'm not going to put my name forward so I would need to be asked," said the Dunning resident, one of 23 Scots in a 156-strong field in Perthshire.

"But Paul McGinley has just been reappointed as the GB&I captain for the Vivendi Trophy and I think that strengthens his case to be captain here. He was a great captain in that event last year and that might strengthen his case to be on Jose Maria's backroom team in a year's time."

Golf: Alastair Forsyth's sights on top-ten finish after closing eagle

IT was a contender for shot of the day. From exactly 250 yards to the pin at the 18th on the PGA Centenary Course, Alastair Forsyth cut a 3-wood around a tree to 20 feet and holed the putt for a closing eagle-3.
It gave the Scot an opening 70, two-under, and marked a decent start in his bid to secure a big enough cheque in Perthshire to earn a place back at the top table in European golf next season.

A two-time Tour winner, Forsyth has had to rely mainly

on invites this term after losing his card last year. By his reckoning, he needs to win around £70,000 to finish in the all-important top 115 on the money-list. He's 133rd at the moment.

The problem is that he might not secure too many starts between now and the end of the season. To get into next week's European Masters in Switzerland, he needs a top-ten finish here. "I'm trying not to put extra pressure on myself, but every chance I get is important," admitted the 35-year-old before heading off to take in last night's Europa League qualifier at Ibrox.

"A top-ten is my first target as that would get me into next week but there's no doubting the fact that the chance to earn enough money this week to get my card back is an extra incentive.

"I'm not someone who is obsessed with looking at the money-list and I'm certainly not the type to wish ill on others.

"But I am aware that there are a lot of guys below me at the moment who are going to get twice as many opportunities as I'm likely to get between now and the end of the season."

Forsyth's effort, which he described as "up and down" with a "nice finish", was one better than both Gary Orr and Chris Doak, the latter having been up at 5am for a scheduled 7.30am start only to be left kicking his heels for a spell due to the early-morning fog delay. "I went back up to the Dormy House for a second breakfast," he said with a smile. He's getting used to weather delays. "This is the third event in a row it's happened," revealed the Team Scottish Hydro player. "On the Challenge Tour in both Denmark and Norway we were delayed by rain."

Doak said his day had been "a bit of struggle". His main problem was judging the pace of the greens.

"They were faster than they had been in practice," he said in ruing the three putts he took at the first, seventh and tenth.

West Linton's Gareth Wright, the player Doak beat to claim the Scottish PGA Championship on the neighbouring King's Course last October, also made a decent start.

The Welshman was three-under with one to play but found trouble off the tee at the 18th and had to play out sideways.

Edoardo Molinari aims to rally for his title defence

AS THE defending champion, Edoardo Molinari is living in luxury at the five-star Gleneagles Hotel this week. "I'm in a suite - one of the best rooms I've ever been in," reported the Italian on the eve of the Johnnie Walker Championship.He was asked if it had been named after him. "No, but if I win this year, maybe next," he replied. It would probably be appropriate, especially if the 30-year-old from Turin retained the title in the same dramatic fashion.

Two behind Australian Br

ett Rumford with three holes to play last year, he birdied them all. In addition to the top prize, he walked away with one of the wildcard spots in the European Ryder Cup team for the match in Wales a few weeks later.

"(It] was probably the most special week of my career," reflected Molinari, who also won the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond earlier in 2010. "It's very difficult to win a tournament when you have to and to do what I did was an unbelievable boost to my confidence. To do that under that kind of pressure, then you are not scared of anything else."

Molinari has arrived back in Perthshire feeling frustrated about his game, though. While he has been hitting the ball "as well as I ever have", putting has proved a problem this season and he's tried all sorts of things in a bid to enjoy a better success rate on the greens again. "I've been putting poorly since the Ryder Cup last year," he said. "I had a decent week at The Masters, but, apart from that, I've been holing nothing.

"I tried to switch putters, going back to the putter I used last year, but that didn't work. Now I'm just trying to keep things simple. I'm working on my takeaway and my posture. I'm feeling much better every day, so I think I'm very close to addressing the problem."

Golf: Allyn joins the LGA's greatest

ALLYN DICK bounced back from the disappointment of losing his Scotland spot to complete a hat-trick of Lothians title triumphs.
The Kingsknowe player claimed the Champion of Champions crown at Dunbar, beating Turnhouse representative Graham Robertson by 2 and 1 in the final.

Last year's Lothians champion joins a select band of players to win the LGA's two top titles and he

was also in Carrickvale's victorious line-up in the 2010 Team Tournament. "They say every cloud has a silver lining and that was certainly the case here," said Dick, who would have been unable to play in the latter stages in East Lothian if he'd been picked for the Home Internationals in Ireland.

While "extremely disappointed" to miss out on a second successive appearance in the four-cornered event, Dick didn't let it affect him at Dunbar. In fact, he produced two outstanding performances, first to beat host club member Stephen Easingwood, representing the Bank of Scotland, then against Robertson in the title showdown.

Two up with four to play against Easingwood, Dick lost the 15th and 16th, where his opponent holed from 16 feet for a birdie-2. But his approach at the 17th rattled the flag and he won that, and the match effectively, with a conceded birdie.

In another close affair, Robertson, last year's Lothians Order of Merit winner, beat Haddington's Keith Nicholson, the four-time Champion of Champions winner, on the final green in the second semi-final.

The final saw Dick establish a three-hole lead at the turn but, as in the previous round, his opponent refused to throw in the towel. Dick holed from 18 feet for a halve in birdie-3s at the 15th, but Robertson made a second birdie in succession, sinking a 15-footer, to win the next. Robertson had another chance to keep the match alive at the 17th, but missed from 16 feet with his birdie putt.

"I played fantastic in both matches," said Dick. "Stephen got the windy conditions he'd been looking for, but that was actually right up my street, too, as I played my golf as a boy at Shotts, where the course is on the top of a hill.

"Against Graham, my gameplan was to try and hit it big off the tee and put him under a bit of pressure. It was probably the best I had played from tee to green for a long time.

"It is great to have won three big titles in the Lothians - now I've just got the Stuart Cup (for leading qualifier in the Lothians Championship) to cross off my list."

Dick's winning form has continued since the Dunbar event. He retained the Harrison Open title on Saturday morning. Then, 24 hours later, he joined forces with Kingsknowe clubmate Lorna Fraser to win the Scottish Open Mixed Foursomes at Mortonhall.

Helped by an eagle and four birdies, they shot a 72, winning by two shots from host club pairing Greg Nicolson and Rachael Watton.

Danny Kay all set to take his shot against Tartan Tour pros

DANNY KAY, the surprise finalist in this year's Scottish Amateur Championship, has teed up a chance to test himself against the top Tartan Tour professionals.He has earned an invitation to play in next week's Aberdeen Northern Open at Meldrum House, where a group of Scotland's leading amateurs will compete alongside the pros for the second year running.

"It will be a great learning experience for me,"

said Kay, who lost to David Law in the final of the SGU's flagship at Western Gailes after earlier beating two GB&I squad members, James Byrne and Kris Nicol.

"It's a nice thing to top off the year and I'm really looking forward to what will be a good challenge at this stage of my career."

The 20-year-old finished third in the North of Scotland Open at Nairn Dunbar last Sunday and is now targeting a win in the South-East equivalent at Musselburgh this weekend.

"I wanted to prove my performance in the Scottish Amateur wasn't a fluke, so to finish third in an SGU Order of Merit event was great," he said. "I played well last weekend and hopefully I can produce another good performance this weekend at Monktonhall, where I have only played once before."

Fifer James White, the winner at Nairn Dunbar and runaway leader in the SGU Order of Merit, isn't in this weekend's field, having earned an invitation to play in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles along with Byrne.

But the line-up does include Glenbervie's Graeme Robertson and Kirkhill's Paul Shields, second and third on the Order of Merit, as well as sixth-placed Scott Crichton from Aberdour.

Another Fifer, The Duke's Scott Stewart-Cation, defends the title he won at Mortonhall 12 months ago.

In addition to Kay, the leading Lothians contenders are likely to include James Ross, who lost to Law in the semi-finals at Western Gailes, and Battle Trophy winner Zander Culverwell.

West Linton's Fraser Thain is also in the field. So, too, are Lothians champion Alan Anderson, from Bruntsfield Links, and Turnhouse teenager Lewis Bain, this year's Lothians Boys' title winner.

Clarke a regular guy

I'm not sure that there has been a most popular big winner in recent times by Darren Clarke. It seems that everyone from fans media players loves Clarkey. And what's not to like? The formula is only a métro-regular Metro, which apparently did not spend more time in the gym, enjoy a pint or a glass of wine, and can play great golf. It is an exercise in character, which is full of laughter and surprises Yesterday as we expected ... to get interviews with other finishers, Phil Mickelson was absent. When we asked why, they told us that he wanted to wait behind 18 to congratulate the new champion. When Mickelson's wife, Amy, was diagnosed with breast cancer, Clarke was one of the first persons to contact the lefty to offer his support. By his first wife died before the Irishman long ago from the pain. The two golfers were fast friends ever since we heard Later. that Tiger Woods had sent text messages to Clarke, before the final round. Clarke has refused to disclose the content of these messages saying it was personal. But you also have a friends forever is not very often you can find a player who straddles both Woods and Mickelson camps, but Clarke is such a guy. Has a big smile and disarming smile that makes certain you have known him for 25 years. When he walked into the interview area, was holding a pint of Guinness in one hand and the Claret Jug and gone to another. I'm not sure that would have approved of the stuffed shirts of the R and A, but certainly not the 50,000 fans who smoking statistics with Royal St. George's on Sunday. I can only imagine what the famous old Jug witnessed yesterday evening and the wee morning. as for the rest of the chasers that followed on the leaderboard, Mickelson was the most impressive for nine holes. 30 was spectacular and may have a 28 if he had makeable putts holed on eight and nine. But, as if to script, he inexplicably jabbed a short putt wide of the hole and then crushing a crowd late in the round for good measure. There was a more talented player loses more than what seems to be simple shots? same constant for Dustin Johnson, who was sailing along, until he has mercy on unforced error by hitting a ball out of bounds. I know that it's easier to start a perverse shot in these harsh conditions than anywhere else, but this was simply stunning CONSIDERING he was in the middle of the clearance of the fairway.Rickie Fowler was the Guy I thought Clarke could most problems. The round Saturday was spectacular, but he doesn't have the game on Sunday. Is talented and he can win a major, but I think it still has some learning to do, when it comes to big events. Looking back over, I think that Royal St. George 's, which is very low if not at the bottom of the list of favourite blanket, proved to be a good test. There are too many very stupid bounces we expected and the R and A decision to shave that raw near the Greens and stimulates allowed boys to play rather than just cutting machines. It will never be old. Next year, Lytham, which is only a post or two above the cross of St. George in the classification where it will defend Clarke. In other words, if you have removed the remnant of the time.

Day 2: RBCCO and Zokol Pettersson

On Tuesday night, Richard Zokol got an honour to relocate when it officially became a member in the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. In front of 200 guests in the home course of Marine drive from Zoke, as his friends call him, everything was feted with speeches by Lorne Rubenstein and Mike Weir. Both eloquent and funny, honest and humourous. The mentioned how Zokol were much more than one player, said Rubenstein, a person "out-of-the-box" golf. There were some light-hearted jabs in the days of Disco Dick when to wear headphones between two shots to cut out distractions and some revelations in recent days as a roommate of Bobby Clampett at Brigham Young, a group made as a walk-on and eventually crossed a NCAA title. Zoke, of course, has a long and distinguished career plays titled NCCA, a Crown Canadian amateur, a Canadian PGA and two PGA Tour victories and 26 occurrences in the Canadian open. But he has done a lot more including some development player, TV with World Golf's Acura and the construction of long road to Sagebursh. And to top it all off, celebrated the 25th anniversary of marriage with the beautiful wife Joanie last night as well.  * * * * * * Defending champion Carl Pettersson was in the press room on Tuesday evening, recalling its performance a year ago in St George when he was fired that miracle 60 Saturday. There was a funny exchange between himself and local writer who had obviously done some research in history, but they did not believe the part about Pettersson drinking seven beers while waiting to see if he made the cut. Q. is the comment you made about having enough time to have seven beers waiting to learn is not a joke?
CARL PETTERSSON: No. (laughter.) big guy really had the seven beers and had to be the caddie disk home. The next morning came back and shot 60. He added that the PGA Tour in his career, he has shot the number each in the 60s. As for the current year, Pettersson Shaughnessy called one of the best courses the tour has played all year and was a great raw which will be a factor. He said that he had the feeling of a US open and he expects to try to repeat.

Disclosure of the final round

One day to go to the Open Championship and is still a toss up as to who can win. It seems that if Darren Clarke could have better putt yesterday, I had a bigger lead this morning, but woulda/coulda/shoulda doesn't do around here. Most of Clarke's question yesterday, and is, in fact, the past two days did he find inspiration from any of Rory McIlory victory last month in Congress. The answer was no, because Rory is half his age, and while he marveled at the achievements and withdrew from the European Tour he stop playing to go home to celebrate, said he was very proud of inspired. Still, Clarke will Tuesday North Irish in the last six majors to win. Coming from a country with 1.2 million people (important Golf Canada!). And it would be the 12th different winner in the last big 12 and the sixth-straight non-American. "You should be, as someone who says they can go and have a glass of wine or two the night before the big final. I also think that it would descend upon the pre-round gym. It is fun-loving Partner who is a fan favorite here. And why love? ESPN's Tom Rinaldi asked him and his response was that he can relate to because he can go and have a drink and does not work. It is true, I would say the only thing he is doing is Clarke the weather. It is played to the best of all three days. This could be changed on Sunday. And hunting the rest? Well Rickie Fowler played the best in the worst of the weather. The round in the storm that was quite remarkable, one of the best of his career. Trying to follow the trail of Ben Curtis here in 2003 and the Open Championship for his first victory. Only two other players since 1991 they have won a major for the first victory – Shaun Micheel and John Daly. I don't like the way one plays now. Dustin Johnson is also a story here, especially after starting the Championship four during after the first 12 holes. The is-8 since then and it looks great. Johnson also has some good advice on the bag to his caddie LaCava, Joe. He hired la cava, who spent nearly 20 years of recurrence for Fred couples, just a month ago and seems to pay. Sophia Lacava brings the course should not be underestimated. Rather Lacava works well laid-back players and there are many more laid back than DJ. Others, like Jimenez, especially with a warm-up routine that is crazy. He couldn't buy a putt yesterday, so if some go on Sunday, he can make some noise. And this, in my opinion, Martin Kaymer will be heard from today after a terrible showing on Saturday. But will I staked the winner will come from Clarke, Johnson or Fowler. The show more shape. as for the weather, it is bright and sunny on Sunday morning, but that some of the things heavy roll this afternoon with intermittent showers which are supposed to be heavy, sometimes. Have fun!

Hadwin rising

Billy Andrade is one of the great guys on the PGA Tour. He has played the circuit since 1988, and won the RBC Canadian open in 1998. Friday saw the future of Canadian Golf and seriously impressed. "If you don't have to become a great player will really upset," the ever-smiling Andrade said after completing up to 36 holes alongside Adam Hadwin, Abbotsford, BC, product posted a 68 and is just two shots off the lead. "He has got all the shots, he performs really well and is simply a wonderful player," Andrade continued, enthused about Hadwin, but less so on his own to finish 12. Second round of Hadwin was absolutely stellar and another indication that he is prepared to make progress towards an already burgeoning career. He would go the tee Saturday alongside David Hearn, the two Canadians in two. "It feels great, "said Hadwin after making a nice bogey save on the final hole. "I felt really good out there, we felt really calm, especially with the putter with the little game."The last 12 months have been spectacular for Hadwin. The previous year at St. George 's, was the low Canadian. It was coming from a party, it is not golf fans in this country knew who he was. But to declare his name near the top of the leaderboards. Of course, had a solid finish at the US open in June and has won twice on the Canadian Tour. And says he should be here, the last to shut down the 56-year drought, the Canadians winning the open. "I would like to say Yes without sounding arrogant, "he said smiling. "Scared of my game was good. I had a good final lap in Winnipeg on the Canadian Tour. I have a good one and I don't have a great caddie on the bag. Is this thing gives me a great sword. "This would be Brett Saunders, who has teamed up well and be kept in good intense on Hadwin. The story of Hadwin is remarkable that he still plays golf seriously until 14. It was a good athlete who played football and Baseball, but according to his father, Gerry, grew tired of politics and parents participate in sport. He said his father wanted to try to see how good he could arrive in golf. Recalled that "I hit some 5,000 balls in winter". "Then he went to play juvenile BC and hit 87-85 in the very first tournament."Now the younger has aspirations of Hadwin set on a bigger prize, in fact, the Canadian Golf, is the largest. It is a weekend and a remarkable leaderboard away from goal, but we must, like the attitude. ' I think myself and David [Hearn] do not seek to lower Canada, but tryinig to win the thing. And we have a job to do this weekend. So I prepare like we're going to win a Championship. "

Leather wins with the team of five

We wrapped up two days of Telus world skins game yesterday and in my humble opinion, was the best skins we've broadcast event at any one time. The combination of the venue and the five agents were just right. The Banff Springs Wall, Docklands provide a wonderful backdrop is difficult not to have a good view at any point in this process, and even players who have stopped to take pictures of some of the holes. I can't say I've seen that before. And Lucas Glover, Paul Casey, Anthony Kim, Jhonnattan Vegas and Stephen Ames were enormous. They have barbs on the other, very funny and entertaining he joshed and General. For me, that is what the skins. Make sure that you want to see great golf shots, but would prefer they came with a game and some digs. I think it was missing the last few years, and may have been because of the makeup of teams. Four of the five players involved in this group are good friends and only Vegas was a relative newcomer, even though he is quickly adjusted and from day 2, this amalgam with others. labelling was on the eighth hole of the first day when Casey threw a ball over the Green, about 125 yards away. Of course the guffaws came into full force when they have not been able to do the same with the ball hit him with the club. And there was much comment of Kim to start the day 2. I asked him about the first tee whether he wanted to beat the other four players. "More than anything else in the world today, "deadpanned. Skins are about entertainment, fun and seeing the players in a more relaxed atmosphere by the PGA Tour. The format is dead in many other parts of the world, particularly in the case of the USA, but as looking like the last two days were in Banff, may still work perfectly well this fact.

Hope of Hadwin

In 2004, I was the reporter on-course at the RBC Canadian open. My task was to interview the winner, after the final putt fell, and almost everyone with a Canadian passport pull for Mike Weir. He went into the final round with a three-shot lead. What happened that day should be a lesson for Sunday at Shaughnessy, where Adam Hadwin has a golden opportunity to end a 56-year drought of WINS Canadian open. Back in 2004, it appeared as if everyone-fans, sponsors and media-Yes, I was ready to hand the Crown Weir. Bell, the Chief sponsor of the time, handed out hats Weir identical to that at around 20,000 fans wore. Around the 18th green, the grandstands were full of fans, who were waving large Canadian flags, chanting "Go Go Weir", and basically anything to show their allegiance to the left-hander. It was like a hockey game broke out on the 18th green at the Glen Abbey. I felt that the bleachers just might tip into the Lake if they had any more noisy. There was also an incident where a fan grabbed Weir around the neck as he walked between holes, which Weir says caused him injury that took years to heal. Certainly lacked security. to sum up, things got way out of control. Of course, we all know what happened on the road, as Weir was defeated in a fight and play-offs by Vijay Singh. I firmly believe that, if the number is not so, we gain smothering Weir. On Sunday, will have as good Hadwin a chance to win as Weir made seven years ago. And there is little doubt that the atmosphere will be as raucous as it was back in 2004. Hadwin is definitely now wired differently from Weir, that this does not seem to have a pulse. It is a cool Cat and told me he's hoping for a little craziness from fans. Makes it easier and more fun to play, he said. And this is certainly something that is not on a regular basis on the Canadian Tour. But hopefully, the crowd is not over, let us hope that the occasion Hadwin allows you to do everything done for three rounds and focus of the game. He should do that can turn a very experienced leaderboard. And as Bo Van Pelt said after his round, which left him with a one-shot lead, I would first game Away. "Van Pelt as plays of the 311th PGA Tour event. Hadwin, the third party. There are also important champions Geoff Ogilvy and John Daly lurking, the last two or knows anything about craziness. As Bill Murray, I would like to say, is a true Cinderella story is here. With some good game, steely nerves and even a bit of luck, Sunday could be a day to remember in Canadian Golf.

Open gives us great stories

Thomas Bjorn can thank Vijay Singh for aborts vacation. Singh has pulled out of the Open Championship on Monday, opening at the final point in the field for the Dane who divulged a big chance to win this tournament, the last held here in 2003. Bjorn was not in the field before this and had planned to spend the week vacationing with kids in Sweden, but changed his plans and for the better. A crazier story, simply could not have developed into a wild dream. He also birdied the 16th hole, where he coughed up a chance to win eight years ago, making a double bogey five round the subject just doesn't come out of nowhere-won earlier this year on the European tour, but was certainly not at the top of betting cards. Bjorn had found form earlier this year but took off eight weeks after the death of his father in mid-May. When asked about dad after the round, which was dissolved by the great Dane, before gathering himself to say that perhaps it would be very proud of this is his son on Thursday during a surprise DVD.it and magnificent history. the same can be said for the player is dealt on the leaderboard with toys, Tom Lewis. All did was shoot the lowest score by an amateur, 140 years of open play. And did so in front of the man who was named after Tom Watson. Lewis is amateur, but a full employment in Iraq, have dropped out of school at 16 and dedicated himself just playing golf. Of course, the pay that kind of work is a little light that is supported by his father, former European Tour pro who named him after the hero (and his son following Jack Nicklaus), mother and brother and sisters. Lewis, who one-putted the first eight Greens, also taught by Pete Cowen, who instructs combination top European tour professionalsincluding Bjorn. The 20-year-year-old is planning on turning pro after this match of September Walker Cup. This is one of the best parts about this Championship. It seems to give life to great stories about players we have in Canada haven't heard that much about or perhaps haven't heard at all. The other story was yesterday the weather that morning and howled specified then this afternoon. Expected to be the opposite of the Friday before coming into full time with some teeth at the weekend. Makes for great viewing — particularly from the couch at home-but I'm not sure how players will enjoy. Is not waiting here. SIMEIwSEIS: Best line of the day-when asked about the jaunty hat he wore style Ben Hogan Padraig Harrington said yesterday he wanted this and can wear again. He was then asked if he could consider going to a beret ski resort: "we will leave that to the Bubba."... The BBC, which has a golf coverage for approximately 10 hours every day, uses Jim Nantz booth. Take an afternoon session, providing some of the regulars here a change ... speaking of announcers, Peter Allis is also on the Beeb, and for the first time, this sounds very, very old. Sandwiches, the city in which is this event has a grand total of 4,000 people. Difficult to imagine such a great event in such a small Centre, but here the creators to work. All the roads come is a way and flip it around when the masses start to leave. I do not remember, where there has been talk less about Tiger Woods from here. Are minimal for the radar .... Best title to a tabloid which I have seen this week started on Sunday, the last day of the publication for scandal-rocked News of the world. It read: "the World ends today."... Always a good quote, Mark Calcavecchia admitted that he initially planned to play Canadian open RBC next week in Shaughnessy but changed opinion. "Did switch gears mechanism. This is a long way, no. 1 and no. 2 I am a Champions 99 percent now and touring palyer is a big tournament, the British senior open, and is fairly close. This just doesn't make any sense to switch to Shaughnessy. I'll miss it. My favorite is a course in the world. "

RBCCO day 1: Weir, Hadwin and Shaughnessy

There are many good things about flying London-Vancouver directly, like yesterday although it did take eight hours to keep track of all the mini-series the Kennedys (wow, can flee with the White House) and still have time to sleep for a few hours. However, I landed with some fine weather here, have a rarity on the West Coast this summer. It is blatantly terrible here with rain and cool temperatures. They told me yesterday that there was only one day more than 30 degrees here until now. The most interesting news of the day was a confirmation that Mike Weir has gone back to the stack and tilt method, reuniting with Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett, two of whom are in accordance with the report in Vancouver this week. Robert Thompson was the first time this week. It is a strange path for Weir to take, but if it works for him, then who really cares. Even after he left the Plummer and Bennett in 2009, it was still determined to remain focused on the ball, as this method is supported, so there really is a big jump from what causes delay. And nobody seemed to be all bent shape, when he returned with Mike Wilson before. At least the fixed in one method and focus. Today Weir and all other RBC group players teeing it at a private event at Capilano. I also had the opportunity to rotate around the Shaughnessy, one of the really nice lessons in this country. My first comment was that raw is even more than what was here last time. It was a long time afterwards. Of course everything rain probably helped to those efforts. Everything is certainly Green around here, and seems to be in excellent shape. Today is a busy working day at the top with Richard Zokol's induction into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. Adam Hadwin, wonderful surprise of last year, I chat with the press. You know that it is the third-ranked Canadian Iraq now on the official World Golf ranking?

RBCCO day 3: duration

This year's Edition of the national championship has the conditions to be that one of the best in an enormous amount of time. There is a great way to set up Shaughnessy as harsh as anything all year round. Raw is long, more than it was during the opening of the UNITED STATES this year, and the Greens are tiny PGA Tour standards. Each player who I spoke to said it will be a difficult test, but that should be so for a tournament of this stature. The only help that we get the players are supposed to have that rain on Wednesday night, which can help to broaden the stimulates a touch. Then there is a check mark in this field, which is just as intense as it was because the incident got charged with post-British open date. There is a player no. 1 in the world within Luke Donald, who said he would not have trouble shaking off missed cut last week at Royal St George 's, which he called "an anomaly" is also Matt Kuchar and Rickie Fowler and Lucas Glover, all play some solid golf. Jim Furyk, and Ernie Els, Hunter Mahan, Charl Schwartzel, Louis Oosthuizen, Geoff Ogilvy and on and go. Sure, some of them are here because they have their logos for RBC bags, but others here is because the tournament has done a good job of finding great courses and hosts a solid events. Has achieved its purpose, the best in class, one of the top events, this is not a great event world championship golf or Fedex Cup. "I think tough courses draw better players," said Fowler. "I mean, I like to play more golf. As for the course, I have heard many good things from other PGA Tour players. Ben crane was one of the first wave to tell me about this. He is probably one of the favorite locations so I was excited to come here. ""Tour is now in dying breed, "added Donald. "Our playing very long, kind of wide open Golf. That is, you know, this is long enough, but it is a challenging golf course, close, classic. I believe that people enjoy playing golf style. "PXE: new mobile yesterday the firing of Steve Williams in around the course with more players saying they created too surprised. The question is then which would you choose as the next Tiger and more understood looper it was Nick Faldo, former caddie, Fanny Sunesson. By the way, Sean Foley, TW coach offers "no comment" when asked about the switch ... I chatted with Tommy Gainey, known as two gloves. He said that the only coach who has is his brother, who can usually understand what is going wrong with the game, Tommy's through a telephone conversation. I do not think he could understand what's happening with the swing if I had it on a table, lab and dissected it. ... There are a lot of attention Nick Taylor, Matt Hill and Adam Hadwin but no mention of Darren Wallace who is equally smooth with maple syrup swing ... I wonder if this will be the first RBC Canadian open in four years not to suffer through a rain delay of some kind. Nick Taylor confirmed yesterday that he will take a back to school European qualifying tour.

Wild and very windy Weekend ahead

There is a significant offering more unexpected performances from the Open Championship? The first two days we have so many wonderful, wild and hard-to-performance, for example: Darren Clarke, who is not exactly the epitomize finely tuned athlete, has a share of the 36-hole lead. When you are anticipating a Iraq from Northern Ireland can lead the open, he even about odds sheet? Right now, was to become the third different Iraq to Northern Ireland to win a major in the last six. Clark gave credit for the improved game of delay for two things: a meeting with Dr. Bob Rotella provided what Clarke called "exceptional mental stability" when questioned. The other was a move last year back in Northern Ireland. Clarke left London after 13 years and set up home in Portrush, one of the great links courses in the world. Says it has inspired him. It should be noted that has played with the best weather, something that he will not get Saturday, something that nobody would get, then it is Lucas Glover, of the beard. Now some nice plays golf and if he goes to win, it would be the first player from 1890 to win the opening with a beard, or a reporter was told by both BBC Radio. Then there's Tom Watson. Could have a better script written? Not only do we already love his followers, but he further endeared himself to them, making a hole-in-one, the 15th of his career, by the way. Watson, who is still in the hunt here although it is not enough as it was in 2009, spoke about the love of golf links and how to understand what is all about. "My very first shot golf links was right down the Middle clearance of the fairway, and almost lost the ball, and I didn't want. I did not at all. It took me four years to start liking, he likes the way the game is played on a links golf course. Some people never started and enjoy fun, never ever, as you say. However, the trend is there. This is what we must do. You must play the course, and we must play the luck of the bounce. Sometimes imagination comes into play big-time golf links. This is the beauty. "Indeed ... How about the players who missed the cut? Donald? Go. Westwood? Go. Poulter? Go. Matt Kuchar; Go. It is thus very Graeme McDowell, Nick Watney and Ernie Els. And then there is the most interesting man in the world ... Miguel Angel Jimenez, who came under a big, fat interview Los Naranjos smoking. Now there are times when a journalist must consider before asking a question, in particular the Spanish loving fun. This was one of the times: q. should be very happy with your position.
MIGUEL ANGEL JIMÉNEZ: I'm happy. Always around the lead, is very happy. I was one shot back. I asked my breath at the rear of the player and is going to feel personally, coming from behind. Watch Out.
Q. you like coming from behind?
MIGUEL ANGEL JIMÉNEZ: I would like to come from anywhere, man. (Laughs). Finally, an update of weather conditions. Already this morning here in Saturda and is air-conditioned and many wind and humidity falling. Or are you leaving the channel? Anyway, the nasty stuff already arrived ahead of schedule and you can rest assured that this will be a tough Weekend to play golf.

WDs Weir re-after injuring elbow

A year after he was forced to shut down the season due to injury of Elbow, Mike Weir has withdrawn from the Canadian open RBC with pain in the elbow. Weir visits the tee shot on the seventh hole and then playing partners and said officials had done. "This morning I woke up and was very sore," Weir said. "I thought I could play through it. I had two shots in raw this morning and I just want to go in this direction again, where it becomes again a bad injury. "It is very tender, very sensitive now. "Weir said his right elbow was somewhat tender coming into the national championship in Shaughnessy after much practice, particularly after reuniting with former swing coach Andy Plummer and Mike Bennett. The injury was aggravated by long raw during Vancouver in which the Masters champion found himself too often this week. Raw is no longer here than in any other tournaments so far this year on the PGA Tour. Television showed him taking a wild lash out of Hay on the ninth hole, his caddie, Don Thom, said caused great pain. But Weir said was a constant evolution since the beginning of the week "That shot was brutal at nine," he said. "But the first shot I hit yesterday, kind of lost a little sore."I had a hard time hitting the ground this morning and trying to infiltrate into the soil. I began to promote it. Even the drivers and stuff along the way, was injured. "Weir was double the damage came at this particular event, one which has an extremely close relationship, hosts a day of charity by name, and the marquee player among the Canadian entrants. "It is very disappointing. This is our national championship. I want to play and have a large fan support, but simply is not going to reinjure it. "Weir was forced to withdraw from the pro-am at the RBC Canadian Open last year but has played two rounds of the tournament before missing the cut. Shortly after he had been diagnosed with elbow is a partly Torn ligament and sat out three months before returning to play the shark Shootout in December. Upon his return this year, has played only two cuts in 11 starts and covered world rank 475th.

Rough start for Hadwin in Greenbrier

What is a test for your fourth PGA Tour event knows many Canadian as golf fans, Adam earned a breakpoint Hadwin's PGA Tour at Greenbrier this week. But there are enough proved quickly to the test. Hadwin left Vancouver on Monday night at 7: 30 p.m. is expected to be in West Virginia sometime Tuesday. You will get a look at and be prepared for a Thursday start. Unfortunately, a series of airline delays and cancellations meant he did not make it up on Wednesday morning at 3: 30 a.m. With the pro-am on Wednesday, was not in a position to play a practice round. But that's not really important at this point because he had nothing to play a practice round with-while he made West Virginia, no bags. After numerous phone calls and workbook, three of the five bags of it-unfortunately not Hadwin clothes or bodies. More phone calls and bags were but three hours away. Thus, while some markets Hadwin went to wear clothes and get some sleep, coach Brett Saunders and Scott Rodgers return six hours to get the clubs and clothes, returning in time for a few hours sleep before finally heading to the first tee for Thursday morning tee time. Yes, it's a glamourous life, isn't it?

LPGA come to Waterloo

Later this afternoon, the LPGA will announce a new node for the 2012 in Kitchener-Waterloo. The event, which according to the report I have insurance, Manulife as the sponsor title, is slated to be held in grey silo, which must be interesting, considering the Club and the region. It would be the best lesson to view either. We will wait for the details on Tuesday before commenting further about these situations. during belongs from the city of Waterloo and manages North Golf. It is good news that the LPGA is coming to Canada for a second node – heck, it would be anywhere for a second stop! -and good news for golf fans in southwestern Ontario. One of the best parts about the LPGA tour is that when an event, there is a good opportunity for every big name will appear. This is because there aren't that many events originally. And this will be the second major event in the country is not run by Canada Golf, which hosts open both men and women. The Montreal event Champions Tour, is underway this week, is the other.

MMO: Champions in Montreal

Monday morning the observer: 50 and above Edition * one of the biggest events in golf this year in Canada begins today. I know what it is? The Montreal Championship, an event Champions Tour was a success in its first year, you will receive this week with a dozen pro-ams, and then the same tournament Starting Friday. It is a bit of a surprise that this is more carefully than I do but organizers do the best they can, in order to expose the tournaments in all regions of Canada this year. The field, including defending champion Larry Mize, is very strong with Tom Kite, Tom Lehman, John Cook, Hale Irwin and Canadians Yvan Beauchemin, Danny Best, Rod spittle and Jim Rutledge competing. * Let's see ... a week ago, Rory McIlroy wins the U.S. open by eight shots and was front-page news. Yesterday, Yani Tseng captures the Wegmans LPGA Championship by a mere 10 strokes and relegated to the back pages. For Tseng, was the fourth principal and only 22. Deserves a larger story. Oh and if you walk around Niagara Falls today, you may encounter Tseng, who was planning to visit. * CONGRATS to Mackenzie Hughes, of Dundas, Ont, which won the games Glencoe Kinnear at the weekend. The high-profile event, held at the Glencoe G and CC, is annually one of the best fields in amateur golf. Hughes, a member of the national team, had a lot of time. He won the Championship in the Mid-American Conference, while playing for Kent State and helped lead the school in the title of the group. * Credit To RBC and Bill Paul on lining up a stellar field for the RBC Canadian open in the next month. Seems to be one of the strongest since the Panhellenic Championship got saddled with the open date right-after-the-UK. Of course having six golfers from the higher profile of the game under a contract never hurts. Anyone grumbles that appearance money would have to look around as RBC only plays the same game as any other tournaments in attracting top flight players. Now with players in order of their followers will appear? The last time, at least not in large enough numbers to turn a profit. * Speaking of open, look for Matt Hill and Nick Taylor to officially take exceptions to the Canadian open this week, RBC. Our Tournament Director said, we come to life on Saturday morning radio program in Toronto that he would extend the offer to two young pros this week. * CONGRATS to Danny Sahl, who eventually won a Canadian tour event in his 80th test. Sahl, who spent two-and-a-half years as a PGA Tour caddy for Ben Curtis, occupied the Arctic open Syncrude in Fort McMurray. Perseverance is profitable. * I spent much of last week on Windows XP and you can see all four lessons there (though not affected a snapshot) and everything is in top shape, but could use a break in the weather. There is a great news is that the Whistler Golf Club will be re-doing the Greens starting later this year. The improvement will allow the process to have the best Greens earlier (and later) the year of the mountain environment.

Rory the story isn't over yet

Is anyone else a little antsy? Is someone a bit anxious about this afternoon? It seems that everyone has already given the trophy Rory McIlroy, MAS open started in Printmaking and the victory parade. I feel the same way on Sunday morning at Augusta earlier this year, thought there was no way that this child could lose by playing the first three rounds. But, as Yogi Berra would say, it ain't over 'til it is over. And it seems to me that Rory is what we are trying to bring some sense to this coronation. "Until you do these things, does not mean anything, "he said after a 68 Saturday that gave him a record-low 54-hole total of 199. While Rory is unlikely to get the others in the field and be transported to concede something, some of them told me yesterday that they will be cheering for him. After what happened to him at Augusta was painful, everybody. But how he handled this was perhaps even more meaningful. He was full of grace and dignity, and stopped to talk to the press, regardless of how he was stuffed. No one was more fitting for sníit a five years as another former US Open champion was on that day. Everyone likes Rory, it seems. It is difficult to find someone to say something bad about him. Especially the fans, who seems to have fallen for spiking to mop 22-year-old from-all places-Holywood, Northern Ireland. All around Congress was chanting his name and offering of heated applause. And acknowledged them. Quitely, with a smile. Players have a very good feeling that here is history and those who know Rory, it is not surprising. But it is a little fearful of the impact of such a thrashing of a US Open Golf course, only in case of jest. "Rory is a good player," said Lee Westwood. "When he's playing very well, is capable of shooting low scores. So probably we all improve. They make most golf, will be 8,000 yards next year. Rory have thank you for that. "But he has yet to do so on Sunday, has yet to conclude the agreement. Eight shots is a lot. But on the other hand, it was four in Augusta. Nobody wants to see another anguishing disaster.

MMO: Rory real agreement

Monday morning the observer: USA open edition * I do not recall a non-American athlete to get a huge love-in reception as Rory McIlroy has made the past weekend in Congress. I think each person-players include-like man from Northern Ireland to win this weekend. As he walked along the come to life, he was happy. They chanted his name and applauded their miraculous performance. * I was lucky enough to be able to make a sit down interview with McIlroy yesterday evening after the victory and I first thought as he sat in the Chair was that the child was completely exhausted. The second was how impressive it was grounded. The answers to my questions were thoughtful, insightful and honest. As someone who has interviewed, Oh, about a thousand golfers over the past 25 years, this was one of the best. His answer to my question about how his trip to Haiti impacted the world, and high performance is amazing. You can see the interview with tsn .ca. * for the interview, McIlroy took the trophy together. For such a historic event, do you think they may have polished the baby. It appeared that it had been left in the rain. * I am not usually consider a excellent performance means the start of the new era, as some suggest this morning, but I believe that this is the first of many majors for McIlroy. There is truly something special is happening here. Oh, and for the record, I believe that this will have a healthy Tiger Woods kicked ass this week too. * I think I counted 12 different scoring McIlroy broke records this week. It seemed to me to be around 100. Yes, the course was soft due to rain and so ended the second most under par rounds of history US open, but when you win the best players in the world by eight shots, do something, and when you wipe 111 years scoring records, actually do something. * For the record, Jason Day finish at eight under would have won or tied for the lead in all but two US opens. It is also the lowest mark for a runner-up. And now has the second-place finishes in both the US open and the masters this year. * A solid performance by Adam Hadwin last week netted the player CanTour the biggest payday of his career: $ 41,154. Prior to this, the biggest check was for $ 24,000 for victory on the Canadian Tour. She told me after the final round that has absolutely no doubt that he has the game to compete on the PGA Tour and that will be there at some point. Other Canadians in the field, Wes Heffernan, collected a nice $ 16,539. * by the way, in case you missed this two Hadwin earned Heffernan and passes in the second stage of qualifying School, making the cut here this week. This is almost as big a cheque!

Heading for the mountains

This morning I leave for Whistler to shoot for some future episodes of SCOREGolf TV. The four courses in Windows XP are among my favorites in the country, and certainly represent a large collection of devices in a domain. Hard to beat here, if you are looking for a vacation that combines golf, with the great outdoors. According to the information I received last night, I'm not only going to golf but ziplining, target shooting, mountain biking and see giant gondola from vertex to vertex, e-everything this Olympic city has to offer. Whistler, as with most of the country, being forced by bad weather during the spring that nobody was very sad to see things that make summer yesterday. Golf is based on good weather conditions for success-duh-and when the nature is not replicated, it can be tough. We have already seen courses tip over bankruptcy. Although not all, were related to weather, it sure helped. Golf course is only? any activity that is performed outdoors in the same boat. I talked to a home builder the other day who told me the company was far behind because they were too wet to pour Foundation in the spring. However, many of these courses and areas are rugged and fought back, getting smarter with their work. One good thing-if you're an Iraq, not an owner of course-this issue is that there are great deals out there if you are looking to escape for a short sojourn golf. It is a buyer's market, as operators struggle to fill as many tee times as they can.

Hadwin enjoying the ride

Adam Hadwin are going to think I'm some kind of bad-luck charm. Yesterday, I managed to catch up to the native Abbotsford, BC, as he hit the ninth hole at Congressional Country Club, playing the first round at the US Open. At this point, he was very nice but is shot tee diverges to the right and found that some of the very raw. Wisely, he attempted to chunk out the fairway so as to minimize the damage, but the narrow stimulates here, the ball scooted across to raw on the other side of the hole. From here, tried to get under construction on this par 5, but left raw. The pitch missed the Green, the first brand to be repealed and two putts later, he had a seven. This is the type of course in front of the players this week. It is not ridiculous, such as the us open courses in the past, but don't miss out too (Hey Phil Mickelson) or you will pay the price. Fortunately for Hadwin, player Canadian Tour, which was about the worst of the holes. In fact, he actually hit the ball beautifully for most of his time, and if the putter went at all, could be quite a day. The scores of the four above was still impressive. "I have many deals with birdies today, "he said. "And his appearance ... 20-footer uphill all day. "Hadwin was admitted nerves at the start of the round, and who can blame him? This is the first major championship. But he transformed these butterflies, launching some spectacular adrenaline drives soaring well past the mark of 300 yard. And apparently lasted all day. At 18, a par-4 523-yard monster, Hadwin hit driver, nine-iron. Wow. "The way I am hitting it, I will be here for the weekend," said Hadwin, shows great confidence without reduction of cockiness. This course will be decided Friday in the second round, which will surely be more stringent than the day of commencement. Other Canadians were on the opposite side of the draw and finished their rounds, such as the Sun was starting to set up, having played through some rain earlier. Wes Heffernan equaled Hadwin's four over rated, with bogeys on the last two holes. Poor Wes, quiet Calgarian, can't seem to get any respect from the USGA. During the first spin of the wheel at the MAS open back in 2001, had his name leaderboards as Hefferman multiple times. This time, the Union used a photo from an unknown person Heffernan place media guide.Jon Mills came in at five over after one to four back-nine. Despite playing well coming into Congress, he does not hear all the confidence in the days before the start. We'll see if he and the other two can improve to around Friday and make the cut.

When I first came here in 2003, I thought the place was one of the most difficult courses links look and I do not feel any different this time. That was more enabled mechanisms and knocks in the stimulates from any course in Rota and you can actually see some bounces here is far from equal. While walking around yesterday, I saw a tee Susanj Hoffman hit discard the middle of the seventh fairway just to watch it land on Main St., close to the left, and then skirt around the top of a fairway bunker before arriving at some deep tall. the ball probably ended up 30 yards left of where it landed. This is a links golf. This is the Royal St George 's. Last winner here, Ben Curtis, was in the press room on Monday, talking about the victory, which was unexpected, even by himself.

I never thought that come here--I said, this is the last time you could play in this. I didn't know it was a 30 more to come. "One of the major differences between opening of this year and 2003 for Curtis is where he lives. He described the stay last time as a tiny flat, but this time. "We visited the bathroom Mansion. "Curtis is a guy can like quickly. It is fairly quiet and composed, almost shy, but has always had lots of play. As soon as they are inconsistent in recent years and acknowledged this right now, not playing well. Of course, more attention this week is about Rory McIlroy, the winner of the opening up of the UNITED STATES and Northern Ireland's favourite son, at the moment. A headline in the local Paper said sales of tickets and accommodation requests are sky-high due to his presence. In the guardian today, Lawrence Donegen talks to his agent, Chubby Chandler, who says he can't McIlroy could become Britain's most successful athlete. And the path to riches shoes may be somewhat different than expected. "One of my ambitions is to put a Chinese Rory logo Hat because golf is incredibly large in China is just beginning to be an Olympic sport." Said, however, that the management of all queries will be a tall task, but necessary. "22, the quest, and we have to make sure that this is not a case of car from the moment they are 25.

Martin Dempster: Salmond's position yet to go the distance

I have recently RECEIVED THREE separate you've listened to the first Minister, Alex Salmond, singing club, a golf course next to the junior program to fulfill the promise of the Government of Scotland, to the fact that every child the opportunity to experience the praises of golf.It is part of our commitment to the game in Scotland: n right after winning the 2014 Ryder Cup, and fair play, no doubt, from Mr Salmond as he talked about the game, certainly a good topic. "It is an initiative that is intended to be a car in the world of golf in the world of the land to the Scot during the years of power," he said during one of these, for example, the sitdowns.

At the time the world is not even in Scotland during the years the power of Great Britain and Ireland to the shores is not surprising that a comment to the eyebrows.

Having had the Gleneagles, in 2003, when the programme was rolled out to Colin Montgomerie with a backup copy has been interesting to watch the concept to grow and has not taken an awful lot of people, makes a great grassroots job you have now, we got it. The figures refer to Mr Salmond and others are impressive, and after appearing at the outset, be wary of the initiative, it is encouraging that the PGA professionals, whose input is necessary, such a program has become more organised volunteers in cars in the army.

Events, such as the Scottish Open, Johnnie Walker Championship and the Scottish challenge has been good to see one of those volunteers with the enthusiastic golf club coordinators in tandem.

At the same time, it has an excellent range of junior Championship is open, which will provide the Foundation for Golf equipment and buses and Montgomerie, the Chairman of that organisation has seen its value at the time of the visit, when he was at the Royal St George 's.

However, eight years at the club's golf program time is approaching quickly, while Scotland must start seeing real opportunities for the players.

The rejection of Groan be heard already a certain person. Jack Nicklaus was when all of the latest concept of hail, when he participated in the recent event at Gleneagles and the Royal Bank of Scotland golf club, with the launch of the partnership between. But even if the game's greatest player, certainly would agree that it would be disappointing, if such a program could not deliver some of the world class talent.

Fairness of Clara young and Calum, two teenagers in a Hill in North Berwick, begin to make their presence felt at the level of junior golf club after the value of the order of East Lothian, Martyn, on the basis of the above one, Huish chemistry through the eye of the supervising. Young has earned recognition in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland are level.

However, we expect to hear someone say, you are that young people through the process of being unearthed, it is the son of a girl or the rest of the game of golf club stands out from the thousands of. Perhaps it is down to the Scottish approaches. After all, we are not a nation that finds the shouting caps will, of course.
