Fleetwood Back To Near His Best Looking To End Two-Year Windless Drought In Windy Saudi

It is surprising in checking that it’s been over two years since Tommy Fleetwood last toasted a victory success An eighth career victory was, in fact, a play-off win at the 2019 Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, and after he remarkably posted three eagles of his last day at Sun City. It was a wind that lifted Fleetwood to 10th on the World Rankings but this week he arrived as No. 47 in the world. Now, and heading to the final round, the 31-year-old is in contention for victory at the Saudi ...

Twenty-One Years Ago Bernie’s Historic First New ‘Millenium’ Tee Shot On A Golf Course In Tonga

Twenty-one years ago today, and in the spirit of a new Millennium, I hit the first golf shot on a golf course of this millenium at midnight on the 1st January, 2000 on the tiny Pacific Ocean island of Tonga. I flew from Sydney via Auckland to the Tongan capital of Nuku ‘alofa.
