It was a frustrating week for us at the Northern Trust as all five members of our team performed well finishing between 12th – 30th place but, despite several of them threatening to do so, not well enough to make the frame…

So, we dust ourselves down and onwards we go to the second week of the Fedex Cup Play Off’s, The BMW Championship.

As…

The Northern Trust

The Northern Trust

It was what you would call a ‘nearly’ week for us at the Wyndham with our win only bet on Webb Simpson coming up a shot shy in second place while Brian Harman finished in a log jam for sixth place missing out on a full place pay out by one shot.

To be honest that is fairly symptomatic of how our season has gone and we just need to accept that that’s…

It was unfortunately another frustrating week for us at the WGC-Fedex St Jude as despite being in a great position going in to Sunday with Horschel & Thomas, both men stalled on the last day and we came away empty handed.
The event was won by Brooks Koepka who turned in one of his imperious major type performances to overturn a one stroke deficit…

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…

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…

The Open Championship

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.
