Hertfordshire’s Todd Clements carded a final round 63 to claim his maiden DP World Tour title at the D+D REAL Czech Masters on Sunday. The 27-year-old player from Brocket Hall, who is currently in his first season on the DP World Tour after graduating from the Challenge Tour last year, started the final day three shots off the lead, but immediately cut the deficit with consecutive birdies on his opening three holes. Another hat-trick of birdies followed from the sixth as he made the turn six under par, taking the outright lead for the first time after the eighth. He…
Here’s your cut-out-and-keep golf essentials guide to what should always be in your golf bag. 1. BallsNo need to state the obvious here, but how many is too many? Some of us tend to panic and fill out the bag, while others are that annoying species who are always on the borrow by the turn.You should have an idea of your own skills, and even on a horrific day, nobody should need more than 10 balls. 2. FoodYou’re out there a long time, and you need sustenance. The experts say you should get carbohydrates into you at least twice a round, so…
ON THE IMPACT OF MODERN EQUIPMENT ON THE PROFESSIONAL GAME…. Modern equipment makes the game too darn easy for tour pros. The sweet spot on a driver in my day was the size of a pea, not far off. If you hit it with the heel or the toe of a persimmon driver it would go absolutely nowhere. There was a time when only a dozen of us on tour who were great ball strikers. Now there’s only a dozen who aren’t. We got excited when Seve had a go at the 10th green at the Belfry, which. back in…
Viktor Hovland will take a six-shot lead into Sunday’s final round of the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship after a shooting four-under 66 in round three.

The Continent of Europe has won the Jacques Léglise Trophy after inflicting a 17-8 defeat on GB&I to secure their fourth consecutive victory in the match. Heading into the final day at Golf de Chantilly in France with a three-point deficit, the visitors needed a fast start and they got one. GB&I went up in all of the first three foursomes matches after two holes and looked like they might close the gap to their opponents ahead of the final singles session. However, the Spanish duo of Marcel Fonseca Aguilar and Jorge Siyuan Hao were one-down after five against England’s…
“I have had the same pre-round routine for nearly 30 years. It’s not complicated, but I think that’s important,” says two-time European Tour winner Markus Brier.“That goes for what I eat just as much as how I warm up. I arrive at the course an hour and ten minutes before my tee time to start to warm up—but my routine has already started before then—with my nutrition.”He’s not alone.The days of a solitary banana being the extent of a ‘golf diet’ are long gone—and this development is not just confined to elite golfers either. The golf diet has certainly evolved,…
What would it mean to you to claim the Claret Jug as the first Spaniard since Severiano Ballesteros in 1988?Any time you can do something for the first time since Seve did it, it’s obviously a very big deal. It’s crazy that Sergio Garcia and Ollie (José María Olazábal), many other great players that had a chance, didn’t get to do it for Spain, but it’s not easy. I would be a true honour to be able to join Seve’s (Severiano Ballesteros) name on that list of The Open champions. Even aside from that, just being able to call yourself…
