Chris shot a gross 75 on Saturday and then followed that up with a 71 on Sunday for a 146 total winning by four shots from Ben Templeman who scored 80 on Saturday but scored a 1 under par 70 on Sunday. Ash Anthony 75+76=151 and overnight leader Brendan Greville 73+78=151 finished third and fourth respectively with Paul Day 77+76=153 in fifth.

The Fisher Cup is for the best nett score on Sunday and this was also won by Chris 71-8=63. Please see below for the full results and the Scratch Matchplay Draw.

The 146th Open Championship

There was also another big event on last week! I think it’s fair to say Jordan Spieth will have gone through a wide range of emotions on Sunday afternoon. Having played superbly through the first three rounds of the Open Championship, pretty much everyone had given him the title on Sunday.

But as we all know, golf isn't quite as simple as that and when he was in the middle of the practice area having taken a penalty drop on the 13th, a win looked a long way away but what happened next was pretty amazing. The up and down on 13th for bogey followed by a run of birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie under those circumstances is a pretty special performance.

I think we can all learn from how quickly it is possible to turn things around.

That's got some face on it

It’s hard not to be in awe of the putting we see on TV, especially when the world’s best are competing for a major like at last week’s Open Championship. Yes, their strokes are close to perfect, but today’s putters also have a lot of technology in the face to aid the smooth roll they all love to put on the ball.

Cleveland Huntington Beach putter

INTRODUCING MILLED FACE TECHNOLOGY FROM CLEVELAND

This Cleveland Huntington Beach 1 model is just one putter in the range to utilise a deep, diamond-shaped milling pattern. It enhances both feel at impact and increases friction to lift the ball up and get it rolling earlier to increase the chance of it staying on line.

If you want to learn more about this range of putters then click on the image here, but if you struggle with the short stick then maybe it's time you sent the team a message using the button below?

How do you compare?

You will have heard us mention the importance of the ‘scoring zone’ on various occasions, but we can’t stress enough just how vital this area is to lowering your scores. Take a close look at these up-and-down charts below:

Up-and-down charts

As you can see from the statistics here, the best players in the world rely on having good short games when they find themselves out of position.

While having great technique is certainly very important for this, and we can help with that, so is having an evenly gapped wedge set-up that gives you an option from every possible situation.

Take this Wilson Staff FG Tour PMP wedge for example; it comes in lofts from 48-60° to cover off any possible set make up we might decide is right for you, plus there are three sole types and three finishes that we can test and discuss during a fitting session.
