R.I.P. Seve 2011
|
Seve Ballesteros was, for a
decade, arguably the greatest golfer on the planet. Former World No. 1 =
and
winner of over 80 tournaments including five major championships, Seve
burst onto the international scene in 1976 aged 19 when he chased Johnny
Miller around Royal Birkdale to secure a second-place finish in the Open
Championship. This wonderfully charismatic, larger than life Spaniard
captivated the hearts of fans all over the world, and provided us with =
some
of the most memorable moments in golfing history.
He was the man who made golfe=
rs
everywhere believe anything was possible – from the trees, the
bushes, the rough and even a car park! Seve made doing it the hard way =
look
breathtakingly easy. At his best, he was unbeatable, he knew it and so =
did
the rest of the world.

Luke Donald Wins BMW PGA – New No.1
|
Luke Donald won the BMW PGA Championship at the first play-off hole=
at
Wentworth after an enthralling battle with Lee Westwood.
The pair traded blows all day, and Westwood's 68 drew him level with
his compatriot after 72 holes.
But then the Worksop wonder found a watery grave at the final green when
his ball spun off the green which cost him not only the European Tour's
flagship title but his place at the best player on the planet.
Westwood's mistake punished him with a double bogey seven as Donald cla=
imed
the €750,000 first prize with a birdie.

In regulation play Donald was left with a 30 footer for victory on =
the
final after Westwood, playing in the group ahead, had missed from six, =
but
his two-putt par meant they tied on the total of 278.
Westwood said: "It's amazing it went in the water, but it shouldn't
have gone into a play-off.
"The finish was a bit iffy I suppose, so that's the reason I finis=
hed
second. Not because I lost the play-off - they are volatile, aren't the=
y? -
but because I didn't take my chances.”
