Danny Lee’s US Amateur hopes came to an abrupt halt yesterday as he was beaten 1 up on the 18th.
After qualifying tied in 5th spot, he would have been hoping for a better ending however he shouldn’t be disappointed. It was a superb effort to qualify, and he should be very pleased with his performance. [...]

Posted in Danny Lee, US Amateur on August 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
What a great effort by the 17 year old New Zealander Danny Lee.
He shot rounds of 69,71 around the Olympic Course in San Francisco to qualify in joint 6th position for the matchplay competition commencing tomorrow.
The top 64 players qualify. The number 1 qualifier plays the 64th and so on, so Danny will probably be [...]

Golf’s a cruel game. One day it’s fun to play and the next it’s a nightmare.
After shooting 66 yesterday, Argentinian Goya has returned a 78 today to be at +4 for the tournament.
The projected cut is +8 at the moment. I have no idea how they work that out however as 58 players are currently [...]

That was a great win by Aussie Nick O’Flanagan on the Nationwide Tour over the weekend. His third win on the second tier tour and a guaranteed place on the PGA Tour. It’ll be exciting to watch him play against the big boys next year.
Another potential Aussie star is teeing it up in the US [...]
Scandinavian Masters Bedtime Story

Lights out for me.
I’m deflated. I think I may have vexed Steve Alker. Posting his progress, excitedly telling you how well he was doing, wanting to share his every move, saying stuff like “he has a chance of winning this”. I guess skilled golf commentators learn not to put their foot in it. Anyway, poor [...]

It’s funny watching golf on the computer.
Looking at the leaderboard waiting for a change. It’s still exciting though.
Listen up all you kiwis supporters Steve Alker is 2 off the lead, with 3 to play. He could actually win this if he birdies the final 3. I know its a long shot, but he is shooting [...]

Steven ALker is having a tremendous round. He started the tournament with a 4 over 74, then shot 69 to make the cut by a couple…returned yesterday with a fine 68, and is 3 under today through 12 and in a tie for 9th.
Easily his best performance of the year if he can [...]

I’ve written the headline before the act as it were.
I’m just dead keen to see the young fella win this thing. Its great watching stars being born.
I’ll also be keeping an eye on wee Stevie Alker of New Zealand and Australia’s own Andrew Tampion. It would be nice to see them sneak up the leaderboard.
Nick [...]
