Khongwatmai, who had claimed the final berth in the match play stages after surviving an eight-man play-off for five places, then needed two attempts to escape a greenside bunker on the next and conceded Rumford's birdie putt. Rumford won back-to-back titles in South Korea and China in 2013 but needed a medical exemption last season after an aborted 2015 campaign caused by eating an apple during the Tshwane Open which resulted in a blockage and led to 30 centimetres of his small intestine being removed. "It's great to be back," Rumford said. "I've done a lot of reflection these past few months after missing my Tour card last year. "I had a tough year and didn't see my family that much, only four weeks in six months. It was a gruelling six months but I'm back and I couldn't be ...

Dustin Johnson Sur La Bonne Voie, Deux Tours Encore À Jouer

... tout, DJ a déjà signé cinq top 5. Et demain . Dauphin de Saunders vendredi, 4 e provisoire avant l'orage d'hier, DJ a décidé de prendre les choses en main cette nuit. Le droitier de Columbia donnait ainsi le ton en coloriant sa carte d'un birdie dès le trou n°1. Le n°3 mondial enchaînait avec un autre oiselet sur son aller, mais c'est au retour que Johnson fera la différence : trois birdies sur ses quatre derniers trous, pour poster une nouvelle carte de 66. De bon augure avant d'attaquer le marathon dominical qui attend les joueurs. 1 En cas de victoire demain et d'absence de Jason Day dans le top 3 (53 e actuellement), Dustin Johnson deviendrait n°1 mondial pour la première fois de sa carrière. «Je ne me soucie pas vraiment de la première place, a déclaré Johnson.

The USGA and the R&A released the results of a distance study over the past 14 years and found only negligible gains on five of the seven major professional tours they crunched the numbers on. Average driving distance decreased on the other two tours. What do you make of this. Ritter: Glad the poo-bahs are examining this topic, but the study raises questions: why did they choose a 14-year time frame? And did they measure “tee shots” or “distance with a driver?” (I'm guessing the former). This is a big issue for golf, and for the future of many great courses. The result of this study just doesn't jive with what I've seen with my own eyes. I hope they continue to explore the topic. Shipnuck: Exactly, Ritter. Guys are so long now that they can use driver less often. Nothing about this study rings true. Bamberger: And ...

... injured Rory Mc Ilroy as the world No 2 and leave him within one good performance of taking the No 1 position off Jason Day. But in typical, laidback “DJ” style he brushed that off. “Yeah, that’d take care of itself,” he said. As it is, Johnson has found it difficult to get into his normal sleeping routines here, having crossed nine times zones. Jet lag meant he arrived only 25 minutes before his Friday tee-time, which would normally be understandable for a morning start, but he was not out until 12.05 pm. “I had time for a warm-up so no stress,” Johnson said.

He withdrew on Sunday from the Allianz Championship with a bad back and a missing putter. Daly says he tossed it over his shoulder to his caddie, who wasn't paying attention, and that's how it wound up in the water. "If I throw a putter, it's going to be in two pieces, not one.

J. knew he would have to go birdie-birdie-eagle for the win (and he nearly did). "I needed to make that putt on 17," said Johnson, who only made one birdie in the first 12 holes. "I knew I needed to go 3-3-3 to have a chance. But obviously, Tommy ended up birdieing the last hole. Obviously that took it out of reach. Didn't really make any birdies on the front nine. Had some good looks, just didn't make any putts. Didn't really make a putt until the 18 th, a 20-footer for eagle.". Still, the trip to the Middle East was a good one for Johnson, who didn't appear to have much going after the first round. He rebounded nicely though, and he will now take some momentum back to the PGA Tour. "It was a pretty good week," said Johnson. "Obviously got off to a rough start the first day. Didn't play very well. Wasn't feeling that great the first day. But then ...
