Golf - for anyone who GAF

Westwood clubhouse leader with McIlroy not at his best and Bjorn stuttering a bit.

That was Kaymer's first ever hole in one.

Rafa Cabrera Bello won by a stroke ahead of Lee and Gallacher. Shame that Miguel has been struggling,one final Ryder cup for him would have been nice.

Final leaderboard of Dubai Desert Classic

John Daly's in Delhi.

Strong field for the Avanta Masters-
Gareth Maybin, McGinley, Marcel Siem, Peter Uilhein, Apibarnrat, Darren Beck, Jeev, Jamieson

Have to say, the Asian tour coverage is in shambles. Jeev started 5 minutes ago and the telecast hasn't started.

6 over for JD

At least Jeev is doing well.

JD injured his wrist.

Jbe Kruger won the Avanta Masters, his first European tour tournament. I'd have guessed he'd won more, more than a decent player.
Whiteford got DQed after the ball moved an inch or so while taking a putt. Had he reported it to the referee, it would have been a one shot penalty. He was leading then. Poor fellow.

McIlroy Mahan finals in the WGC Accenture matchplay, Rory will become number 1 with a win today.

Westwood and Mark Wilson are playing for third.

Allenby just double bogeyed the final hole of the PGA event to fall back into a tie.

Dickhead.

Allenby's in a playoff Huh.


wowzers, matchplay is getting tight.

Mahan 2&1
Wilson 1 up over Westwood.

Allenby loses on the 8th playoff hole having parred the 18th (which he double bogeyed in the round) four times in the playoff.

As I said, dickhead.

sort of a hole in one for Westwood as well ... playing on the old corset

Fark, I missed this. McIlroy is the new number 1 after winning the Honda Classic ahead of Woods and Gillis.

Westwood's continuing his very strong start with a 4th in the tournament. WGC this week should be good. Many in form players.

But of course, McIlroy's deserved victory and rise to number one was completely overshadowed by the Seppo commentators creaming their pants over a Tiger Woods Sunday charge.

European Tour commentators are much better. Much more balanced than their Yank counterparts, I especially like Dougie Donelly for some reason, despite his comparative Scottish bias. I'd even say that the European tour coverage is better than the PGA tour's.

Good luck to amiable Aussie big man, Jarrod Lyle, who has suffered a recurrence of the leukemia that he'd apparently beaten a few years ago.
