So that’s it for the Majors for 2019!...What a week it was though at Royal Portrush. A great golf course set up excellently, a fantastic crowd and a tremendous performance from a worthy winner, Shane Lowry.

The week started on a subdued note for the home fans with local favourite Rory McIlroy failing to deliver the goods, by the end of the week…

It was a disappointing week for us at the John Deere Classic with only Sam Ryder from our team threatening at any point to get seriously in the hunt.

Unfortunately though he could not keep up with the pace over the weekend and in the end we were purely spectators come Sunday evening.

Congratulations though to Dylan Frittelli, long seen…

It was a good week for us at the first ever playing of the 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota, as we bagged a full e/w payout with our 150-1 pick Wyndham Clark who finished fifth.

Sunday evening certainly had its ups and downs and at one point Clark held the lead on his own. It was apparent however from around the seventh hole onwards that he was feeling…

It was a decent enough week for us at the inaugural Rocket Mortgage Classic with a place return from Joaquin Niemann and a cracking effort from our trader Ryan Armour who hit a low price of 7 on the exchanges in round 2.

Unfortunately from that point though he bogeyed the par 5 14th from the middle of the fairway off the tee and he gradually faded over the…

It was a frustrating and ultimately fruitless week for us at the Travelers as after a great day one it was unfortunately all down hill from there on in.

The week was summed up by Andrew Putnam’s Sunday who despite throwing in a triple bogey on Saturday was still in with a chance of a place going in to the final round. Unfortunately though…

As many readers will know I was at Pebble Beach last week for the US Open and it was something I will certainly remember for a long time.

The golf was fantastic and the scenery breath taking, the only thing that was disappointing however was the performance of our team as with the exception of Gmac basically they never really got going.

At…

It was another solid week for us in Canada as we bagged a second and fourth place finish from Shane Lowry and Brandt Snedeker giving us full e/w payouts on the pair of them.

Neither though could live with Rory McIlroy who was in scintillating form all week and particularly on Sunday when he closed the event out in emphatic fashion with a final round of…

It was a great week for us at The Memorial as for the second year running we bagged the winner in the event in the shape of Patrick Cantlay.

It’s been a pretty open secret in the golfing world for a while now that Cantlay is the ‘real deal’ and the only criticism that could have been thrown at him was that, despite the raft of high finishes, he…

After the highs of Brooks’ performance of Bethpage it was the lows of Colonial for us last week as our main team turned in a truly shocking showing, with a bunch of MC and a 40th place from Hossler the best to show.

Well done to Kevin Na on clinching his third PGA Tour title and other than that there’s not much more to say.

Let’s move…
