Greetings golfers,
Jason Day finally achieved his major ambition by claiming the US PGA Championship at Whistling Straights. This was a great event held on an unbelievably good golf course which provided birdies and eagles from all over the course. For Jordan Spieth it rounded off the year in fine style although he came up just short in his quest (bring on next year). As for short game Phil Mickleson proved just how good he is in the art of recovery by up and downing it from everywhere possible.
Bryant Edey's Fantastic Performance
Last week Bryant Edey played in the 'Wednesday W' and shot better than his age. This is a fantastic achievement but having played with Bryant in his Captains year it does not surprise me. Keep it up.
