DeChambeau Goes For COVID Test After ‘Feeling Weird & Little Dizzy’
In clearly a shock revelation, Bryson DeChambeau disclosed he went for a COVID test after feeling weird and a little dizzy.
The reigning U.S. Open winner backed-up a first round 70 with an ultra-adventurous second round 74 to be assured in playing all four rounds at Augusta National.
DeChambeau’s second round was a mix of seven birdies, six bogeys and a third hole triple-bogey where he bizarrely lost a ball in just the first cut.
However he took everyone by surprise with a simple ‘how do ...

Moving & Emotional Return Visit To Passchendaele.
It was my second visit to Passchendaele and it was no less emotional.
The first visit to the region had been in the early 2000s escorting my parents first to Normandy and the WW2 D-Day region of Northern France and then onto the WW1 sites in and around the Somme region of France and also into neighbouring and Belguim.
The second visit in September, 2013 was much the same and this time in the company of my brother, Steve and his wife, Sally (Sal to her friends).
To any Australian, towns such ...

Sandy Lyle insists he will stick with the ‘Handyman DIY’ look in sporting braces after posting a disappointing six-over 78 on the storm interrupted 40th anniversary of his maiden Masters at Augusta National.
Lyle, 62 was the first off the 10th tee and posted a double-bogey and four bogeys on a very rain-softened course that saw plenty of players having ‘mud ball’s after drenching rain had flooded the famed Georgia course early on.
Lyle had been due to tee-up at 7am local time and ...
