Both Andy North and Tom Watson worked hard to make sure that they were able to attain when they wanted. Throughout most of the game they were edged by Jeff Sluman and Craig Stadler by only a stroke this weekend during the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf.
Aussie Peter O’Malley was able to perform well and play an almost perfect round - which allowed him to capture the lead at the finish of the first day of the BMW Asian Open. It has been seven years since O’Malley has won on the European Tour. Could this be his chance to regain his glory? “I played really well… I can’t really fault anything today,” said the 42-year-old after his round of 67.
Watching the Masters this week was not as predictable as many of us believed it to be. We thought for sure that the all time champion –Tiger Woods – would be the obvious winner – but there was a slight change of plans and the event took a different turn. Woods came in second place with Trevor Immelman coming in first and taking home the cup.
Johnson Wagner was having a hard time playing at Redstone during the Houston Open and he knew that he would never be able to beat his past course record at the first tee shot. The good thing is though that his game wasn’t completely off. Wagner shot a 9-under 63 in windy conditions on Thursday to match Adam Scott’s new record and share the first-round lead. Charley Hoffman was two behind the leaders after a 65 and Steve Stricker was three back. Phil Mickelson, one of several top players using Houston as a tuneup for next week’s Masters, shot a 72 in the afternoon, when blustery wind produced higher scores.
