How Louis Oosthuizen hasn't won more majors is beyond us. The man from South Africa who has a swing to die for made his way effortlessly around a tough Royal St George's on Thursday to lead the 149th Open Championship.
Four weeks on from his emotional first European Tour at the Belfry, Richard Bland shares the 2021 U.S. Open Championship lead. It is somewhat unexpected that the 48-year-old would look so at home at Torrey Pines, the bookies who had him at 1,000 to 1 ahead of the event.
There will be no Brooks and Bryson teeing it up together unless fate brings them together at the weekend. However, there are plenty of choice groups to follow at Torrey Pines when the U.S. Open gets under way tomorrow.
It was a relative surprise when Hideki Matsuyama picked up his first major title at The Masters and it is no easy task picking the winner of the PGA Championship this week. Kiawah Island throws up many challenges to the best in the world, especially if the wind starts blowing.
Kevin Na is out after his loss against Adam Long on Thursday, but the group is wide open following Dustin Johnson and Robert MacIntyre's halved match. If both Johnson and MacIntyre win their games it is off to extra holes.

Ryder Cup star Ian Poulter got off to a great start to the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play duffing up an out of form Rory McIlroy 6&5 before declaring he found the format “annoying”. Poults would prefer a return to the traditional format where if you lose, you go home.
Tyrrell Hatton has a fourth Rolex Series victory in his sights after opening up a commanding five shot lead on day two of the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship.

In unprecedented times, we have one more men’s golf major to look forward to this year. The Masters at Augusta is scheduled in November for the first time, after the cancellation earlier in the year. It has thrown the plans of golfers into the air, but we have seen events running every week for some time now, so there can be no claims of rustiness or a lack of practice.
Love him or hate him you have to take your hat off to Bryson DeChambeau for one hell of a performance in winning his first major. There will be plenty of debate following the man from California’s incredible six shot victory in the US Open and how he plotted his way to success around what is arguably one of the most challenging golf courses in the world.

Jon Rahm was overcome with emotion as he took victory at the Memorial Tournament to grab the World number one spot from Rory McIlroy and emulate his hero Seve Ballesteros as only the second Spaniard to top the rankings. The big man's margin of victory would have been even higher but for a two-shot penalty for inadvertently moving his ball at address on the 16th hole.
The Players' Championship in Florida is cancelled and no further tournaments will be played up until the Valero Texas Open. The announcement came from Tour saying it was " the right thing to do for our players and our fans is to pause."
Hats off to the European tour for coming up with another little classic for us all to have a laugh at. A few years back the tour let Little Billy loose on the players. Billy gave the pros a complete grilling with a series of cheeky questions, the Rory McIlroy one is a classic. Three years on, a documentary crew follow him as he returns to Dubai for the season-ending DP World Tour Championship.
