One of the advantages of moving a few miles north west of St Andrews just over a year ago, was the fact that come July 2007 I will only be a 20 minute drive from Carnoustie for the Open Championship.

Ernie Els views the South African Airways Open like a Major and that’s probably why he put so much into his final round of 65 to win by three strokes from fellow countryman Trevor Immelman. This was a marvellous effort considering the conditions were blustery on the final day at the Humewood Golf Club in [...]
