Nick Faldo: 'Wow, even the skies are bigger over here...'

Nick Faldo made the big-time on this day in 1984, capturing the first of his nine PGA Tour titles, the Sea Pines Heritage Classic (now the Verizon thingy) at Harbour Town, South Carolina, with a one-stroke triumph over Tom Kite. It's worth noting that five of nine victories were Majors and three of those were The Open Championship, which is co-sanctioned between The European and PGA tours.

Carden Park -what they need is a bypass...

Let's face it, you had us at the mere mention of Carden Park, jewel in the Cheshire golfing crown. Two great championship courses - the Nicklaus and the Cheshire and a luxury De Vere hotel in 900 acres of beautiful countryside . Laurel-resting isn't part and parcel of life in golf tourism, however, and along with the hotel's multi-million pound facelift, the clubhouse has received a £500,000 facelift. With 50 inch TVs in the dressing rooms, we may never need retire to the bar...

The launch of the new clubhouse took place last weekend with a celeb-am tournament featuring former Everton captain Kevin Ratcliffe, Grand National legend Bob Champion and former Liverpool gaffer Roy Evans. And are we a little bit suspicious at the fact that Carden Park owner, Steve Morgan, featured alongside Roy Evans in the trio who won the tournament? Not in the slightest...

Boo Weekley: 'You see, I do have marginally more hair than Stewart Cink'

I don't like to show-off, but I'm beginning to get used to it, nonetheless. Two weekends ago it was Masters championTrevor Immelman at 130/1, last time round a more modest victory at the Verizon Heritage for Boo Weekley at 25/1. If only it had been an accumulator...

I wasn't far off with Graeme McDowell at the Volvo China Open, either. Look out for my tips for the BMW Asian Open in Shanghai and the EDS Byron Nelson Championship later this week. And do your best not to mention the fact that Zach Johnson missed the cut, OK?

Last week's tips:-

The PGA Tour
Boo Weekley (1st place)
Tim Clark (tied 29th)
Zach Johnson (missed cut)

The European Tour
Graeme McDowell (tied 5th)
Daniel Vancsik (tied 20th)
Zane Scotland (tied 28th)

Boo Weekley: 'My mum knitted this especially...'

When the champion gets booed off, you'd have thought he had hit a fan, shouted at an old lady or slagged off the locals, but the folk down in South Carolina have been deprived for a year, so we can excuse them.

Walking out with a three stroke lead, Booooo [Weekley] went around in 71 strokes, his highest ever score at Harbour Town Golf Links, staving off a final-round challenge from Anthony Kim and 2006 winner Aaron Baddeley who finished on -12.

Weekley didn't three-putt all week and defended his crown with ease but our thoughts go out to poor old Nick Dougherty who missed out on posting a career-best finish due to an emergency family illness that caused him to pull out.



Damien McGrane: 'That'll teach Wilson to nick my waterproofs'

China Open champion, Damien McGrane reckoned if anyone had any sense they wouldn't have left the clubhouse given the torrential conditions in Beijing on Sunday. Good job he's lost his marbles then after carding a final round 73 to finish on -10 and claim a nine-shot victory.

English pair Simon Griffiths and Oliver Wilson shared second place with Michael Lorenzo-Vera of France on -1.  Wilson and Lorenzo-Vera both carded final-round 79's while Griffiths (74) made more of a fist of it.

So excited about winning his first European Tour title, McGrane has already decided to dip into the £183,500 pot of gold by holidaying in Antarctica - he must like the adverse weather conditions.
