Fourteen Years On The Question Remains: ‘Why Monty Didn’t Ask to ‘Play Up’ at Winged Foot?’
I was present reporting at Winged Foot for the 2006 U.S.Open and like so many golf fans the world over, 14-years on I still wonder why Colin Montgomerie did not ask if he could ‘play up’ in tackling the final hole that year at Winged Foot.
Clearly lost in golf’s history books along with many similar ‘Monty & the 2006 US Open’ theme newspaper previews this week is the full story of what took place on the last hole on that last day on 18th June, 2006.
It’s correctly ...

Syme got a first look at the host course playing a practice round Monday on the 7,477-yard, tree-line layout near Mamaroneck on New York’s Long Island, and about an hour’s drive north from Manhattan.

G Mac – Clearly Wiser & Smarter 14-Years On From 2006 U.S. Open.
For Graeme McDowell, the emotion of a decade ago along the Pacific Ocean shoreline at Pebble Beach will be vastly different to what he will feel when he steps onto the tee for this week’s U.S. Open venue laid out on the opposite side of the country at Long Island and staring at the Atlantic Ocean.
This week’s U.S. Open at Winged Foot also officially marks the 10th anniversary of McDowell’s 2010 U.S. Open triumph at Pebble Beach.

MacIntyre Reveals Secret Recipe To US Open Success – Mum’s Sticky Toffee Pudding
Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre reckons he’s got a key ingredient to success at this week’s U.S. Open at Winged Foot.
No, it’s not the fact he’s never played the course nor has he previously travelled to New York and it’s got nothing to do with the fact that he’s coming off a decent finish in last fortnight’s Andalucia Masters on the ultra-tough Valderrama course.
No, it will be mum, Carol’s cooking.
MacIntyre has rented a house for the week close ...
Knox Superbly Kick Starts New Season With Best Showing In 16 Months.
Scotland’s Russell Knox superbly birdied two of his closing three holes to secure a share of ninth place in the Safeway Open at Napa, California.
Knox went into the final round of the opening event of the 2020/21 PGA Tour season only four shots off the lead and soon cut that margin to just three when he birdied the second hole on the Silverado Resort course. The birdie was Knox’s 15th birdie in 56 holes.
However, the Scot dropped shots at the third, fourth and sixth holes before regrouping ...

The newly-married South African captured last week’s Sunshine Tour event on his home course in Pretoria and week later Coetzee has captured a fifth European Tour win, and a first on European soil, with a two-stroke 16-under par success on the Dom Pedro Victoria course at Vilamoura.
