Tournament news
By now most will know that Laura Davies won the Womens Australian Open held at Metropolitan Golf Club on Sunday February 15th. Laura was victorious thanks to playing well at the weekend, when it really matters! To highlight this fact Karrie Webb was in lead at the end of the first round at 7 under par while Davies won on the Sunday with a 4 round aggregate of 7 under par. Laura was in a way handed an easy win when Tania Elosegui 3 putted the 18th for a double bogey six costing her the opportunity of a play-off. Being lucky enough to watch Davies going up the stretch on the Sunday afternoon I found it refreshing that when she had hit her approach to the green on the 16th hole in to the bunker she had played her (tricky) bunker shot while her caddy was still halfway up the fairway. This is a rare sight in professional (and elite amateur) golf nowadays that you see a player with that much confidence and natural feel that they have the guts to play the shot in that situation without consulting their caddy. Yes, Davies is experienced and I am biased being a British golfer who has grown up watching her but I feel that the natural side of golf is being lost.
Johnnie Walker Classic
What a performance!! 18 year old AMATEUR Danny Lee birdied the last 2 holes to win by one shot. I heard later that his aim for the week had been to get into the top 20 and he was a bundle of nerves coming up the stretch seeing his name on the leaderboard. From what I saw on TV he looked like he was just enjoying himself and soaking up the atmosphere. In my opinion the amateur game is different from the pro game and although Danny Lee was not affected by shots costing him money he still did a great job of keeping himself together to claim a significant title. Yes, he is the reigning US amateur champion but winning a professional event in which Colin Montgomerie, Lee Westwood and many other leading pros were playing in is a magnificent achievement. He has all the signs of being a great player and great for the game of golf so good luck Danny Lee.
