Good afternoon golfers, I hope you are all well and managing to get some golf in around the cold weather.
Tour News
Sergio Garcia won last week at the Emirates Club, shooting a final round 69 for an awesome total of 269 (-19) to finish three shots ahead of Henrik Stenson. Sergio played fantastic golf all week, leading from start to finish after shooting 65 (-7) in the first round, to win on his first European Tour appearance of the season. Tiger Woods was also playing his first appearance on the European tour of the season but had to withdraw with a back injury after round one, I hope we see Tiger back competing but fear this could be the sign of things to come.
Adam's Pro-AM
Adam was away last week in Portugal for a Pro Am, at The Paria Del Rey Golf course near Lisbon with PMGC member Ian Symonds, his brother Dan Symonds and friend Dennis Sheridan. The course is stunning and is located against the Atlantic Ocean with spectacular views of the coast line. The weather was tough with strong winds and rain which made the conditions tough, in the first round Adam shot 83 (+9) but after getting used to the conditions shot a 70 (-2) in round two, which was the second best round of the week to catapult himself up the leaderboard to finish 6th. The field was strong with European and Challenge Tour Players battling the conditions, well done Adam. A great achievement to get into the top 10 after a bad start.
