Masters Sweepstake Thanks go to everyone who purchased a ticket for our Masters Sweepstake, what an amazing tournament it was with so many golfers having the chance to claim the Green Jacket with 18 holes still to play. I think most of us were hoping for another European winner with Francesco Molinari, but his hopes sank, like his golf ball on the 12th & 15th Holes. This left a resurgent Tiger Woods with the chance to claim his 15th Major and birdies on 15 & 16 meant a two shot gap playing 18, enabling him the chance to take 5 and claim a fifth Green Jacket. Sweepstake Results:

- 2nd - X. Schauffele was James Dempsey – winning a Pro Shop Gift Voucher for £15.50.

Out of the fire and into the Pan... C.T Pan secured a popular victory at the RBC Heritage over the weekend, propelling himself from outside the world’s top 100 into the top 55 in a matter of four days. It was only last week that Pan was watching Tiger Woods sweep to victory at The Masters on TV whilst dreaming of competing himself, and now that dream is a reality after a tense one-shot victory at the stunning Harbour Town Golf Links in South Carolina. Some of that tension was released thanks to a Sunday back-nine blow-up from Masters runner-up and overnight leader Dustin Johnson. The American played holes 11 to 15 in seven-over-par, ending any chance of victory and further cementing himself as the world number one. Pan sank a nine-foot birdie on the 16th to take the outright lead and held his nerve to claim his maiden PGA Tour title by one shot from Matt Kuchar. See you at The Masters, Pan! Quiz time A tricky one this week. C.T Pan is only the second player ever from Chinese Taipei to win a PGA Tour event.
