The event in the end was won by Stewart Cink who landed his first PGA Tour title in 11yrs since his Open Championship win at Turnberry. Since that victory Cink has been…

After a barren summer we finished our 2019/20 PGA season in style with our second winner in as many weeks as our 12/1 selection Xander schauffele topped the ’72 hole score without starting strokes’ market for us at the Tour Championship.

While there was some inevitable back nine tension for us in the end Xander closed things out fairly comfortably…

It was an up and down week for us at the Northern Trust with three of our players right in the hunt at halfway while three missed the cut. Come Sunday however due to Dustin Johnson’s incredible performance we were purely playing for place money and in all honesty it looked our chances on that front were done and dusted after both of our men in the mix Russell…

It was a profitable all be it frustrating week for us at the Wyndham with Si Woo Kim and Kevin Kisner tying for third place and both bagging us full place returns behind shock winner Jim Herman.

It was a solid week for us at the PGA with 150/1 pick Cameron Champ bagging a decent share of the place money and first round leader selection Scottie Scheffler also placing however things could have been a lot better.

For the risk of beginning to sound like a stuck record it was another week for us that held promise going in to the weekend and Sunday but unfortunately once more failed to deliver, with both of our players in the hunt for places Patrick Rodgers and Si Woo Kim unable to push on.

To add insult to injury the man who took home the trophy Michael…

3M Open

Once again it was a hugely disappointing end to a week that had promised a lot going in to Sunday for us as the two guys we had with win or place chances heading in to the final day, Danny Willett and Patrick Cantlay conspired to shoot +17 between them!!

Yes, the scoring was brutally tough but both men, particularly Willett, had been solid over the previous…
