Frustrated ‘Fitz’ Looking For Valspar Positives Ahead Of Augusta.
Palm Harbor, Florida …… For a second tournament straight, Matthew Fitzpatrick could have easily chose not to speak post his second round at the Valspar Championship at the Copperhead course here at the Innisbrook Resort.

When You Win In Australia How Do You Celebrate? Get Yourself A Kangaroo Tattoo. Bloody Beauty!
When you win in Australia how do you celebrate?
You could crack open a few ‘tinnies’ and share them among your friends or you could head off to a seafood restaurant to celebrate by asking the staff to throw some prawns on their barbie.

When I say ‘full’, I refer to the fact that back in that first week of March 2020 the world was falling more and more in the ...
My Maiden CB Qatar Masters – Missing Out On $200 But Proudly Still In Possession Of An Arabian Dhow.
The annual hosting of the CB Qatar Masters always brings back a great story I have from my maiden visit to the tournament in 1999, and the then second hosting of the prestigious DP World Tour event.
Though I must say in writing this story, I still don’t what kept me away from being present at the inaugural 1998 Qatar Masters, won by Scotland’s Andrew Coltart.
It was a double celebration for the affable Scot who awoke in Doha on the Sunday morning with confirmation from far off Australia ...
