The Valspar Championship

Well…where to begin with last week!! The 2022 Players Championship is one that will live long in the memory as freak weather with storms and high winds threatened to derail the event completely. In the end great credit should be given to the PGA Tour and all the ground staff for navigating us through to what was ultimately a hugely enjoyable Monday…

It was a case of ‘nearly but not quite’ for us at Bay Hill as our 66/1 pick Chris Kirk fell away after briefly holding a share of the lead on the 14th hole. It was a fine performance from Kirk who landed us a full place but it was ultimately a case of what might have been.

The event was won by Scottie Scheffler who showed again how suited…

It was a really frustrating end to the week for us at the Honda Classic as our 125/1 pick Adam Svensson who after ten holes on Sunday was still in a prime position to take the title produced a horror finish to not only give up any chance of landing the trophy but slip out of the places in to the graveyard of all good each way bets, ninth place.

It was another low key week for us at the Genesis Invitational. Our team of four was depleted before the start of the event with Matt Fitzpatrick’s withdrawal with flu meaning we were down to three and with Jon Rahm never getting out of first gear until Sunday we were always up against it.

The event itself was won by Joaquin Niemann who produced…

After the highs of the success of Tom Hoge at Pebble Beach It was a disappointing week for us in Phoenix as none of our team ever really threatened to get seriously in to the mix. In the end it was left to desert specialist Martin Laird to give us a sniff of some place returns on Sunday but ultimately he had left himself too much to do.

The event…

It was a cracking week for us at Pebble Beach as not only did we land the winner with our 60/1 pick Tom Hoge but we also bagged a full place from our 100/1 selection Troy Merritt who finished fourth.

Heading in to Sunday it looked like we may be set for a showdown between the two big names who were lurking one shot off the lead, Jordan…

It was a poor week for us at Torrey Pines as three of our players missed the cut while the other two were never at the races, failing to crack the top fifty.

Of course you will get weeks like that from time to time and all you can do is shrug your shoulders, look at the long term picture and move on.

The event itself was won by…

It was a disappointing week for us at the American Express as three of our six picks missed the cut while the other three just made two many mistakes to get in to serious contention.

Our best performer was Andrew Putnam who put in a strong overall week to finish 14th but again he just threw in too many bogeys alongside plenty of birdies.

It was a steady if unspectacular week for us at the Sony Open with all four of our picks making the weekend and one off them Kevin Kisner finishing third and giving us a full place return.

For Kisner to have a serious chance of overhauling the front two on Sunday of Russell Henley and Hideki Matsuyama it needed a spectacular effort and after he birdied…

It was one of those hugely frustrating weeks for us to start the year at the Sentry Tournament of Champions as all of our three selections played really well in patches but were unable to string the four really low scoring rounds together needed to bag us a return, ultimately finishing eighth, 10th and 12th.

Sungjae Im who started Sunday the best placed…
