The highlight of this weekends Tournaments has to be Tiger’s fifth win at Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Invitational. After a slightly rocky start his game improved each day until that final round of 66 to win in regulation play. Sinking an incredible birdie put to put Bart Bryant into second place, it was yet another signal to the rest of the world that Tiger is at the top of his form and still eager to win. It brought to a spectacular end the Tournament which had earlier on threatened to be remembered for yet more shenanigans on the part of John Daly, hopefully they will be lost in the celebrations as Mr Woods extends his lead at the top of the FedEx Cup rankings.
The Ladies European Tour saw the first win for a rookie since 2006, with Louise Friberg from Sweden taking the title in Mexico. A spectacular 7 under par final round left her waiting for almost a couple of hours to see if anyone was going to catch her.
The European Tour saw Graeme McDowell take the title at the inaugural Ballantine’s Championship in Korea. Lengthy play-offs seem to be the fashion at the moment with three extra holes being played before McDowell’s spectacular approach shot on the eighteenth left him with a short putt to beat Jeev Milkha Singh.
The Champions Tour produced yet another three hole playoff when Denis Watson from Zimbabwe made his third Champions Tour win, beating Loren Roberts by sinking a birdie to take the A T & T at Valencia Country Club.
