Well that was an extraordinary putting performance (and the rest of his game wasn’t too shabby either!) by Patrick Cantlay to beat Bryson DeChambeau and win the the BMW Championship, which finished on Sunday.
Through the 72 holes of regulation play, Cantlay made 537 feet of putts which equates to making a seven footer on every holes across the four rounds. His 14.6 strokes gained putting for the week was the most since the PGA Tour started tracking this stat in 2004.
In the ladies amateur game, the USA retained the Curtis Cup by beating GB & Ireland 12.5 points to 7.5 at Conwy GC in Wales.
Captains’ Frolic
The Captains’ Frolic on bank holiday Monday was a great success. It was a combination of a team match and also a betterball pairs competition. The gentleman captain’s side, the Leigh Legends, were victorious with their 208 stableford points total beating the lady captain’s side, the Starship Superstars, by just 5 points.
Lynette Lodge and Andrew Hay won the pairs competition with 24 points. Gwyneth Bramwell & Bill Dixon were second and Jane Wilkinson & Rob Manley finished in third place. The winner of the nearest the pin on the 7th was Jonny Gray and Sue Bryant won the nearest the line on the 9th hole.
