Langer Confident Harrington Can Steer Europe To Ryder Cup Victory On US Soil
Former victorious captain Bernhard Langer is quietly confident Padriag Harrington can repeat what the German achieved 17-years ago and steer Europe to Ryder Cup victory on U.S. soil.
Langer’s European Team won with a record-setting margin nine points in 2004 at Oakland Hills and with Ian Woosnam’s men then matching that feat two years later at the K. Club.
And with Steve Stricker’s USA side now boasting three of four major winners of 2021, Langer was asked ahead of his defence on this week’s ...
Langer Full Of Praise For Countryman Siem After His Strong Sandwich Showing
Double Masters winning Bernhard Langer is full of praise for countryman Marcel Siem after his superb showing at last week’s Open Championship.
Siem was the among the last to qualify for golf’s oldest major in winning on the secondary Challenge Tour and then just four days later he endeared himself not only to those present at Royal St. George’s but those around the world watching coverage of golf’s oldest major.
The four-time European Tour winning Siem was well in contention over the ...

Being Handed ‘DJs’ Putter Just A Few Holes From The 2011 Open Championship Finish
A decade ago, I ended-up with Dustin Johnson’s putter during the final round of the 2011 Open.
I was working, as I still do, with the R & A media team helping out in bringing players to the media centre over the official opening three days and then once the tournament proper gets under way, I would walk escorting the media about the course.

I think it may have been either the 14th or 15th hole ...
