Greetings golfers,
The BMW International always attracts the big names as the European Tour summer swing starts. Stenson, Garcia and Els were all in attendance. There was yet another top 10 finish for Fleetwood as he chases down Garcia at the top of the Race to Dubai. It was, however, Argentinian 250/1 shot Andres Romero who lifted the trophy with a winning total of 17 under par.
There was a dramatic end to the Travellers Championship in America as Jordan Spieth and Daniel Berger required extra holes. After a bit of luck, hitting a tree and bouncing back into play, Spieth was up against it needing to up and down from the greenside bunker to keep the playoff alive, such is his mental strength and skill, he went one better and holed it from the sand for an unlikely 3 and the victory.

Thanks for all those who attended the Titleist fitting day on Wednesday.
Despite the weather it was a great experience, some players learning that the kit they already had was the best, others improving with a combination of the right shaft and heads.
