McIloy Defeats Woods For A Second Year Running In Match At Mission Hills.

Woods Breaks Silence Over Chamblee Controversy – Ball In The Court Of Golf Channel Who Continue To Neglect Reporting The Story.
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 ...

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.
Santos holed a 9-iron shot from the fairway for eagle and then one-putted his closing three holes for a total of just 24 putts in his round.
Stenson had arrived in Shanghai struggling with a right forearm injury that saw him play just the Pro-Am heading into the $7m event.

McIlroy Exhibits Frustration – Slamming Putter Into Corporate Staircase.
Rory McIlroy could probably be forgiven for his display of frustration at the final hole on day three of the BMW Masters in Shanghai.
After finding a deep greenside bunker, the current World No. 6 left his third shot well short of the flag and then needed three putts to find the bottom of the cup in a round of 71 for a share of 14th place on two under par.
It left the double Major winning Irishman trailing six shots behind the leading duo of Spain’s Rafa Cabrera-Bello and American Luke ‘T ...
