11. Levet would love a win without Claret in jug
July 05, 2012
Thomas Levet started the first hole of his third round in a red polo shirt and finished it swaddled in blue waterproofs. But although the sky rained on his parade, not much else seemed to get under his skin. The joker had his poker face on. Levet isn’t just a personality, he’s many personalities. H...

12. Troon talent gets its due respect
July 05, 2012
Unlike the sport which I come from, you will never hear spectators at a professional golf tournament utter the words “Hopeless – I could do better than that”. And certainly not at the Open. I was reminded of that fact walking the Royal Troon course last week, watching the trials and tribulations of...

14. Wary Woods needs more telling moments to dispel shades of grey
July 05, 2012
There was just a hint of a fist pump on the seventh hole when Tiger Woods slotted his fourth birdie of the round. But whatever air the pump put into Tiger soon leaked out as he played his final 11 holes in a flat one over par. He won’t be up on the jacks overnight, but he’s still not firing on all c...

16. Defiance in defence
July 05, 2012
This time last week, Greg Owen could hardly move. We met at his golf club, Coxmoor, near Mansfield, and he spent the entire time shifting about uncomfortably in his seat; it was nothing to do with the probing nature of the questioning, just a painful back injury which may prevent him defending his D...

17. Tiger Woods is back in business at the Augusta Masters
July 03, 2012
Tiger walks in the door and poor Sean O’Hair dries like a nervous novice playing Hamlet in an airing cupboard. To be or not to be? O’Hair couldn’t even remember his name, let alone what he was supposed to be doing for a living.

18. Catharsis for Paul Casey as he relives last years Augusta meltdown
July 03, 2012
But Paul Casey’s description of his final-round fall at last year’s Masters, a slow descent into a sporting underworld of helplessness and cruelty, is as riveting as it is honest.
For my money it says a great deal about Casey’s current happiness that he can relate his memories of that April ...
