I spent Monday up with Bob Torrance after playing my first round of golf in America a couple of weeks ago.  My game is decent but I am still struggling with bunker shots and downhill lies.  All shots from a flat lie are great.

I am still very hopeful of playing in Morocco next week and will certainly play the Andalucía Open in Malaga the following week.  I will then take 3 weeks off and travel to China and Korea. 

My recovery from the knee operation last November has been long and slow as there was more damage to the knee than we had thought.  I am still working hard at the gym and receiving lots of physio and am doing my utmost to... MORE »

Happy New Year to everybody who has been visiting my website.  January normally means practice and an early trip to Dubai to do some practice in the sunshine before starting the schedule in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Dubai.  This year it has been snow and rehabilitation on my knee. 

It is now nine weeks since I had my operation and I still haven't hit any golf shots.  I tried hitting a few pitch shots over Christmas with no success as the knee wasn't even strong enough for a minimal rotation involved in pitching.  However, the good news is I do feel I am very close and I have pencilled in a trip to Portugal next week to do some practice with...

My golf season finished in Singapore where I missed my second consecutive cut by one shot thereby concluding a very disappointing, frustrating and surprisingly bad year.  I finished 104th on the money list, my first time ever outside the top 100 and I am still trying to figure out why I had such a poor year results wise as I don’t feel my golf was of a very poor standard.  However,  the success or not of the year is very dependant on our big finishes of which I didn’t have any, in general as pro golfers on tour 90% of our prize money/world ranking position comes from 10% of our tournaments.  My biggest cheque this year was around €30,000 and it is very...

After The Vivendi Trophy I returned to play very well at the Dunhill finishing in 9th position, it’s a tournament I look forward to every year and this year was no exception.  It was great to be received as well as I was at the Dunhill by my peers - the Vivendi Trophy in Association with Seve obviously caught the imagination of all the players and public alike and I think it has a bright future.

I was looking forward to playing the following week in Madrid but had to pull out on the Wednesday to a recurrence of a tendon strain in the back of my left hand.  After a week of physio and MRI scans I was able to return... MORE »

After all the excitement of captaining the Great Britain and Ireland Team in the Vivendi Seve Trophy last week, I return to playing for myself at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship this week in Scotland.

I thoroughly enjoyed my captaincy last week although I have to admit I was very envious of my team as they played but it was an absolute pleasure for me to captain 10 players who were so excited about playing for me and listening to my ideas on team play during the week.

I have to say aside from being wonderful golfers, I was hugely impressed with the manner in which they all conducted themselves... MORE »
