Double delight for American duo…
There were victories for two of Team USA’s Ryder Cup stalwarts over the weekend, with Rickie Fowler overcoming a major blip on Sunday afternoon to hold-on to his overnight lead and claim the atmospheric Waste Management Phoenix Open, whilst big-hitting Dustin Johnson secured his first regular European Tour title at the inaugural Saudi Arabia International tournament.
Fowler’s final round wasn’t without incident, with one of the strangest dropping procedures taking place on the 11th hole leading to a triple bogey seven. Rickie’s chip shot on the 11th lacked spin and skidded through the damp green into the water just missing a bunker. After taking his penalty drop, Rickie walked to the green to view his options, and during this time his ball rolled back into the water. This led to some confusion between Rickie and his playing partners, but a rules official deemed the ball to be in play so another penalty drop was needed! Luckily he made the resulting putt to escape with a seven and go onto to win with impressive birdies on the closing stretch.

New shoes? Walk this way... |
Golf is first and foremost a walking sport, with many of us strolling more than five miles in a pair of shoes every single round. You might read that fact and instantly recall getting off the 18th green wanting nothing more than a sit-down, feet aching, after realising your shoes aren’t as comfortable as they ought to be. Well, if that is the case, it might well be time for a change... |
Just arrived - Under Armour Spieth 3 This is the third generation of the Spieth shoe, which - as you can probably guess - has been designed on the back of feedback from superstar Jordan Spieth. It continues with a huge focus on traction and power, with its Rotational Resistance outsole helping you to grip the ground on every shot. In addition to this and its lightweight flexibility, the Spieth 3 also has a Gore-Tex membrane for complete waterproof protection - essential for golf in the UK! |
