Double Major winning Bubba Watson ended his season on a high in capturing the Hero World Challenge at Albany in the Bahamas. Watson picked up two early birdies and from there was never challenge winning by three shots with a 6-under 66 for a three-shot victory over fellow American Patrick Reed. Watson didn’t make a bogey all weekend until the final hole, and by then it didn’t matter except in the record book. He finished at 25-under 263, missing by one shot the tournament record set last ...

This group of swing reflections will also give some information on how the human body’s design will not permit ‘just any’ movement without a golfer paying the price (in terms of consistency and some years down the line, injury). Incidentally, if ever on the driving range at a big event, look at the golfer from behind not down the line, but a butt view. Then look at impact, just staring at the ball, from the side, at about 4 o’clock or to the ‘south east’ ...

by Fatiha Betscher, Albany, Bahamas. Double Masters winning Bubba Watson stormed his way to a share of the course record with an eagle and seven birdies with 9-under 63 on Saturday to take a two-shot lead over Paul Casey going into the final round of the Hero World Challenge. Watson’s tied the record at Albany Golf Club that had been set 10 minutes earlier by Casey, who had nine birdies on a clean card. It was an example of what can happen with a world-class field on a course that featured ...

Exclusive by Kiran Kanwar, Albany, Bahamas. The Golf swing – physical or mental. The debate on whether the golf swing is more physical or more mental has been going on for decades, even, perhaps, centuries. While naturally, there are different ‘strokes’ for different folks, it is interesting to know what goes on in the minds of the best golfers of the world. What do they think of when they practice? How does that change when they play? When do they make swing changes? When do they make mental ...

Jordan Spieth soared into a three way share of the lead on day two of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, The World No. 1 bounced back from early round bogeys with three straight birdies from his sixth hole, and then eagled the 11th along with birdies at 13 and 14 in a round of a 6-under 66 and a share of the lead with fellow Americans Jimmy Walker and Bill Haas going into the weekend at the Hero World Challenge. “The grind is still there,” Spieth said. He had to work hard just ...

Exclusive report by Kirwan Kanwar, Albany, Bahamas. Golf is obviously a game of uncertainties, even for the very best golfers of the world, despite all the ‘interventions’ they seek to try to keep their games in peak condition. Golf at the Tiger Woods Foundation-Hero Motorcorp Hero World Challenge is no exception. An early ace by Jordan Spieth, Bubba Watson marching left and right on some holes like a seasoned sergeant, the leader in the field finishing at 6 under, while on the same course, at ...

By Fatiha Betscher, Nassau, Bahamas. Double Major winning Jordan Spieth has expressed his sympathy for this week’s Hero World Challenge tournament host – Tiger Woods. Woods continues to recover from a second back operation and hasn’t competed since finishing 10th in last August’s Wyndham Championship. Spieth has travelled from Sydney, where he finished runner-up in the defence of his Australian Open title, to defend this week’s event here in the Bahamas. And the current ...
