After a weeks break the BMW Championship, weather problems and all, seems a long time ago now.

Having said that the memory of another hard to swallow defeat for us with Justin Rose’s Play Off loss still lingers.

With play having been completely washed out on the Sunday and with the deluge continuing to fall overnight a 54 hole event…

It was a frustrating week for us at the Dell Technologies Championship. Things started badly with Billy Horschel’s unfortunate withdrawal in round 1 due to illness and finished with a typical 36 hole ball striking clinic from Kyle Stanley coupled with unfortunately with an also typical putting display from him.

As a result Kyle finished one shot…

It was a solid week for us in the end at The Northern Trust with Adam Scott returning a full place and our trader Jamie Lovemark producing a fine performance over the first two days.

In the end though Bryson Dechambeau took a grip of the tournament with a fine 3rd round and closed things out fairly comfortably on Sunday.

All in…

So it was all about Brandt Snedeker at the Wyndham Championship last week as after opening up with a 59, despite a few wobbles along the way and being put under pressure down the stretch on Sunday by CT Pan, Sneds managed to close things out for a wire to wire victory.

From our point of view it was a disappointing showing as a whole from our main…

So despite the bulk of our team playing fairly poorly at the PGA it was a great week for us in the end as Brooks Koepka produced another one of his magnificent Major displays to walk away with his second Major of the year and third in less than fifteen months.

With a wrist injury forcing Brooks to miss a large part of the early season including…

It was a very frustrating week for us both at the WGC and at the Barracuda.

The frustration started with Rose’s withdrawal on Wednesday before even a ball was struck and continued as DJ laboured with the putter for the first two days before catching fire just too late over the weekend.

Meanwhile over in Reno, Swafford, Laird & Mahan all played…

So on to the second PGA Tour event of this week, which is the Barracuda Championship.

The Barracuda Championship was first played in 1999 and was initially known as the Reno Tahoe Open.

Played at Montreux Golf & CC midway between Reno & Lake Tahoe the event is played ‘at altitude’ with the average elevation above sea level being…

It was a solid enough week for us in Canada with Ben An coming up just short with a second place finish.

Even though he was squaring up to DJ on Sunday based on An’s solid play for the first three rounds and allowing for Dustin’s propensity to occasionally wobble when in pole position I was cautiously optimistic going in to the last round.

Unfortunately…

RBC Canadian Open

RBC Canadian Open

It was a disappointing week for us both at the Open Championship and over in Kentucky at the Barbasol.

I’m happy to admit when I’ve get it wrong and there’s no doubting that I did on this occasion with my decision to take on Molinari in a match bet with Grace and indeed in my overall view that his current form would not count for too much when confronted…
