Not much under par.
On a day when with super hard fairways, mixed with tough rough, hard greens and a 20 mph wind were the order of the day for all, the Marriott Forest of Arden was bearing its teeth for the 156 players competing in the Daily Telegraph Dunlop Masters. The only complaints though, were about the pace of play which left the last off in both the morning and afternoon pairings facing a six hour round.
The European Tour is back
But Paul Broadhurst, 2005 Portuguese Open Champion, says his game is not quite (back) yet - ‘Sometimes its good, sometimes it not and at the moment my long irons are not and there are a few of those out here’ – whilst new Italian Open Champion Steve Webster is still celebrating his win with handshakes and words from everyone.
YOUNG GUNS IN SHOOT-OUT WITH BIG BOYS
Darren Clarke has secured an invitation for one of his Golf Foundation graduates to play in The Daily Telegraph Dunlop Masters. Rory McIlroy, one of the most exciting prospects in Irish amateur golf, will tee up against the professional elite of Europe at the Marriott Forest of Arden between May 12-15.
Reflections of a Champion and on a Championship
For Warwickshire golfers, this was a special week. It was a chance (the only one this year) to see what was an excellent field in a European Tour Event and what made things even better was that one of our ex-amateurs Paul Broadhurst was one of the ‘stars’ for the week. Paul is already a proven winner and his 5th place at the Forest a sign he is returning to top form. He played the last two rounds in the company of his very good friend Barry Lane, the eventual winner. This is Lane’s reflections on his win, but first, what about the Marriott Forest of Arden. What sort of week did they have?
The Final day at the British Masters.
A trio of ‘golden oldies’ was leading with the final round to go at the Daily Telegraph Damovo British Masters. Monty was on the fringe of contention, playing without thinking of goals. From the final groups 22 players were within six shots of the lead held by Paul Broadhurst, playing a long Arden course in perfect conditions. No mistakes would be the requirement for the day plus taking advantage of any good approaches ….
Warwickshire at the British Masters – Day 4
It was a day of reckoning for Paul Broadhurst. Could he keep hitting fairways as he had done for the previous three round/ Would his aggressive putting, a carry over from his amateur and early professional times be rewarded? This was his story.
