The 2014 season of sunsets and other notables for Holmes National Golf Course

The pros aren’t above a good practical joke at Shootout / El caddie de Billy Horschel objeto de la broma de Poulter


In the opening round of the 2014 Franklin Templeton Shootout, Billy Horschel’s caddy noticed his bag getting heavier as the round progressed.

Durante la ronda de apertura del Franklin Templeton Shootout, el caddie de Billy Horschel fue notando como su bolsa cada vez pesaba más. El motivo no fue otro que la broma gastada por los pros, entre ellos Ian Poulter, que le fueron metiendo botellas y otros objetos en ella hasta que por fin se dio cuenta. Como es lógico las risas de los jugadores y compañeros que observaron el hecho no se hicieron esperar.

Gwladys Nocera wins Hero Women’s Indian Open



Gwladys Nocera from France collected her first title of the 2014 season with a dominant display in the Hero Women’s Indian Open.

With rounds of 64, 72 and 72, she finished with an 11 under par total of 208 at Delhi Golf Club, five strokes clear of three other players.

England’s Hannah Burke, Fabienne In-Albon from Switzerland and Korean Hyeon Seo Kang tied for second on six under, while India’s Vaishavi Sinha double bogeyed the 18th to drop into solo fifth place.

Nocera began the final round with a two stroke advantage over Sinha and birdied the second to move three ahead, before a three-putt bogey on the fifth.

After another bogey on the ninth, where her second shot found the bunker, Nocera was two clear at the turn. With birdies on 11 and 12, she went three clear of Sinha and then a final birdie on the short 17th gave her a four stroke lead with a hole to play.

After making a par on 18, she sealed her 13th Ladies European Tour victory and her second Indian title, after she won the EMAAR-MGF Ladies Masters at Eagleton Golf Resort in Bangalore in 2007.

With her winnings of €36,478, she is now back in the hunt to take the order of merit for a second time, after last winning the title in 2008.

Padraig Harrington wins the BANK BRI Indonesia Open

Padraig Harrington ended a four-year victory drought with a two-shot win over Thailand's Thanyakon Khrongpha at the Indonesia Open.


The triple major champion had not won a full field tournament since lifting the 2010 Johor Open title on the Asian Tour but a level-par 71 in his final round was enough for him to end that wait.


Harrington had taken a four-shot lead into the final day's play but a double-bogey by the Irishman on the seventh hole handed Khrongpha the initiative.


Harrington fought back to level the score before Khrongpha scuppered his chances by finding water on the 18th hole. "I had a bad break on the 18th hole when I hit my tee shot and it rolled to the edge of the hazard," Harrington told reporters after the round.


"I was about to chip my ball sideways to the fairway but when Thanyakon hit it into the water, there was no point to take a chance. So I went back to the fairway and hit my six iron for my best shot of the week."

Harrington said he hoped the win would spur a return to winning ways.

"Winning is a good habit to have. It gives you a lot of confidence and I need that confidence," the world number 385 said.

"I didn't start too well but I came through and I got the win. This win brings a lot of confidence to my game and hopefully it will show up next year."

Jordan Spieth wins the Emirates Australian Open


Jordan Spieth used a course-record 8-under 63 Sunday to separate himself from the pack at The Australian Golf Club and win the Emirates Australian Open by six shots.


 "It's the best round I have ever played, especially considering the conditions," Spieth told the Associated Press. "It was just kind of one of those rounds when you're in the zone and you're not sure what you're at. It's nice that it came on a Sunday.

"Being able to spread out from the field was a pretty awesome experience. I didn't think the round was out there but the putts just kept going in. Boy, we had a good time out there today."


Spieth, who finished at 13 under in Sydney, entered Sunday's final round tied for the lead at 5 under with Australians Greg Chalmers and Brett Rumford.

Spieth, 21, shot the best round of the day by four strokes, going bogey-free for his second professional win. He became the first American to win the event since Brad Faxon in 1993. His round came as a record for the course that was recently redone by Jack Nicklaus. It was being played as a par 71 for the first time in a professional event.


Rod Pampling carded a 3-under 68, taking second at 7 under. He was followed by 54-hole co-leaders Rumford and Chalmers and 6 under and 5 under, respectively. Adam Scott, the native Australian and Masters champion, rounded out the top five at 4 under after shooting even par on Sunday. Scott struggled early, making bogey and double bogey on holes four and five. he would go on to make three bogeys and a double on the day.

World No. 1 Rory McIlroy competed in the event and was in contention through two rounds, but a third-round 5-over 76 put him out of the race. He shot one over Sunday and finished T-15 at 2 over.

Fernandez-Valdes wins Abierto de Chile


Jorge Fernandez-Valdes fired a final-round, 2-under 72 and he earned a 2-shot victory at the Abierto de Chile. Fernandez-Valdes, who has now won twice on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica after his victory at the Mundo Maya Open last year, finished the week at 17-under- par 271 at Club de Golf Los Leones. Beginning the day in the lead, Fernandez-Valdes coasted on the front nine, as he did throughout most of the week. Fernandez-Valdes drained two birdies in his first four holes on two and four. After a pair of pars, Fernandez-Valdes poured in three straight birdies from seven, getting him to minus-5 on the day. It was a rough finish for Fernandez-Valdes as he made the turn, but it did not matter in the end. Fernandez-Valdes made a double-bogey on 10 to go along with bogeys on 11 and 13. He coasted to the finish, however, as he made four pars and a birdie on 17 to close out the title. American Joel Dahmen (68) and Armando Favela (71) finished tied for second at 15-under 273, while American Brad Hopfinger (70) ended alone in fourth at minus-14.

Turkish Airlines Open 2014 | Day FOUR

Brooks Koepka wins Turkish Airlines Open


Brooks Koepka of the USA fired an excellent final round of 65 to win the Turkish Airlines Open by the Ministry of Youth and Sports by a single shot from England’s Ian Poulter. Koepka made a fabulous eagle three on the 13th hole to take a two-shot lead and nobody was able to close the gap as the American parred his way in. 


Ian Poulter reduced the deficit to one after a birdie on the 13th, but he was unable to get on level terms with Koepka. After a fine bunker shot on the closing hole, Poulter faced a short birdie putt to tie Koepka’s 72-hole total of 17-under-par, but he missed from six feet. The victory was Koepka’s first on the European Tour and it has moved him to sixth on the Race to Dubai with just next week’s DP World Tour Championship left to play. “It’s a special week obviously, these four events and The Race to Dubai are ones you prepare for all year, and to win one of them is very special,” said Koepka.  


Despite not playing this week, Rory McIlroy has won the 2014 Race to Dubai. Only Jamie Donaldson, Sergio Garcia and Marcel Siem could catch the Northern Irishman before this event, but all three needed a victory in Antalya to keep their hopes alive. Siem came closest. He was only a shot off the lead going into the final round over The Montgomerie Maxx Royal course, but he closed with a 71 to finish the week in a tie for eighth. Ian Poulter was disappointed to miss the crucial putt on the 18th, but he was more frustrated by his poor play on Saturday. The Englishman was six shots clear of the pack after 36 holes, but his third round of 75 cost him dearly. “I’ll be angry for a few days, but the damage was done on Saturday,” he said. “That, for me, is really disappointing. To have played three great rounds of golf, and just one blip on Saturday, which is a real shame.” Henrik Stenson carded a brilliant final round of 64 to climb the leaderboard and finish in third spot. The Swede will take a great deal of confidence into next week when he defends his DP World Tour Championship title in Dubai.

Can You Hit a Golf Ball Flying Out of a ’69 Ford Mustang?


We hired a professional stunt-car driver to spin donuts in a 1969 Ford Mustang as the Bryan Bros try to nail a crazy trick shot. Can the pros pull it off before the car turns to dust?

Los Bryan Bros son dos jóvenes que se dedican a golpear pelotas de golf desde sitios y de maneras increíbles. En esta ocasión, lo hacen con un Ford Mustang de 1969 de por medio. El coche comienza a rodear al que sostiene el palo, mientras que el otro componente de los Bryan Bros, desde la ventanilla del copiloto, le lanza la pelota. No es a la primera, pero al final lo consiguen. Eso sí, la junta de la culata acaba por estropearse.

Rafael Becker wins Aberto do Brasil



Rio de Janeiro, Brazil  - Rafael Becker fired a 7-under 62 in Sunday's final round and he won the Aberto do Brasil by three strokes. Becker, who became the first Brazilian to win on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica, finished at 14-under-par 262 at Gavea Golf and Country Club. After a bogey at the first, Becker birdied the fifth. He dropped another shot at seven, but erased that mistake with a birdie on the par-4 ninth. Becker flew into the lead on the back nine as he eagled the par-4 11th and followed with a birdie on the 12th. He made another eagle on the par-5 13th to move to 12-under. He traded a bogey at 14 for a birdie at 15, then parred the next two holes. Becker made his third eagle on the back nine at the 18th to win by three. Joel Dahmen (64) and Ariel Canete (68) both birdied the last to end at minus-11. Augusto Nunez closed with a 68 to end at 8-under 268. Michel Buttacavoli (69) and Jorge Fernandez-Valdes (64) tied for fifth at minus-7. Last week's Peru Open winner Julian Etulain closed with a 67 to grab a share of seventh at minus-6.


Rio de Janeiro, Brasil (9 de noviembre, 2014) – El brasileño Rafael Becker fue protagonista de una ronda final de ensueño para ganar con autoridad el 61º Aberto do Brasil / Aberto do Atlântico presented by Credit Suisse Hedging-Griffo. Su sensacional cierre incluyó tres águilas en los últimos ocho hoyos para una ronda final de 7-bajo par 62 que lo llevó a imponerse por tres golpes.

Mi Hyang Lee Wins Playoff to Claim Mizuno Classic

Mi Hyang Lee of South Korea birdied the fifth hole of a three-way playoff Sunday to win the Mizuno Classic for her first LPGA title. 



Lee sank a birdie putt to beat compatriot Ilhee Lee and Japan's Kotono Kozuma. She shot 69 in regulation to finish tied at 11-under 205 with Ilhee Lee (70) and Kozuma, who also had a 69 in the final round. "It was my first playoff ever so before I started the playoff I was a little nervous," said Lee, who made her LPGA debut in 2012. "I just kept playing and made pars and birdies and the other players played really good. It was exciting when I made the last putt." The trio pared the first two playoff holes before an exciting third playoff hole where all three players made long birdie putts with the shortest being Mi Hyang Lee's at 25 feet to keep the three-person playoff rolling. The group exchanged pars again on the 4th playoff hole before Lee tapped in for the win and the $180,000 winner's prize. 


The 21-year-old is the seventh South Korean to win on the LPGA Tour in 2014, and the second consecutive after Inbee Park won in Taiwan last Sunday. Prior to Sunday, Lee had only had three top-10 finishes, including a sixth-place finish at the Reignwood LPGA Classic last month in Beijing. Laura Davies, who held a share of the lead after the second round and was bidding to become the oldest winner in LPGA history at 51, had a 71 to finish one stroke back of the leaders. Karrie Webb of Australia and Morgan Pressel of the United States were also among the group of nine players tied for fourth place. Defending champion Teresa Lu of Taiwan shot a 67 to finish tied for 13th, while second-ranked Stacy Lewis, the 2012 winner, had a 69 and was six strokes off the lead. The Mizuno Classic was the final stop on the LPGA's Asian tour. The next tournament is the Nov. 13-16 Lorena Ochoa Invitational in Mexico.
