European Tour Facing ‘Cheating’ Crisis Over Simon Dyson Controversy.
The European Tour is facing its biggest ‘cheating’ crisis since Scotland’s Elliott Saltman was suspended from all competition over four years ago.
England’s Simon Dyson is staring at a possible three to four month suspension if found guilty of blatantly breaking the rules.
Dyson’s immediate playing career remains under a darkening cloud after he was disqualified from last week’s BMW Masters for using his golf ball to tap down a spike mark on the eighth green during day three of the event ...
Golf Channel Has To Cut Chamblee Free … Woods & Steinberg Speak To www.golfbytourmiss.com
The Golf Channel has to cut Brandel ‘Shambles’ Chamblee free if it’s to maintain any working relationship with Tiger Woods.
This is clear after Woods and his long-time manager Mark Steinberg both stated exclusively to me yesterday at the Match at Mission Hills that while they are prepared to move on, the ball is in the court of the Golf Channel.

Tiger Woods and his manager are prepared to move forward over the Brandel Chamblee controversy but insisting the ball is in now in the court of Chamblee’s employer, the Golf Channel.
Chamblee backed down and went onto Twitter to offer an apology to Woods after he criticised the 14-time Major Champion in an article by saying he had been ‘a little cavalier with the rules’ and thus gave Woods an ‘F’ grade for his 2013 season but then just prior to the apology the one-time PGA Tour winner ...
‘Gonzo’ Stumbles His Way To Capture BMW Masters.
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castaño produced a stunning final round to win the first Final Series event on The Race to Dubai at the BMW Masters presented by SRE Group.
The Spaniard survived a late wobble at the last – he found two bunkers en route to a double bogey six, but 17 holes of flawless ball striking had given him sufficient room to claim a seventh European Tour title with a closing 68 and 11 under par total at Lake Malaren.
That was one shot ahead of Seve Trophy team-mate Francesco Molinari and ...

Haikou, China:
The two biggest names in world golf landed on Hainan Island off the south coast of China this evening for what is set to be the most highly anticipated and widely viewed 18 holes of golf in Asia this year.

Henrik Stenson Ends BMW Masters Praising Ricardo Santos.
Sweden’s Henrik Stenson ended his BMW Masters with a stirring seven under par 65 but found himself upstaged by Portugal’s Ricardo Santos who shot a 64 in superb conditions on the Lake Malaren course in suburban Shanghai.

Stenson had arrived in Shanghai struggling with a right forearm injury that saw him play just the Pro-Am heading into the $7m event.
