The heat is on... With the clock ticking down to the start of the Ryder Cup, all eyes are on the players who could make the difference at Le Golf National in Paris.
The BMW Championship certainly gave us an insight into who’s shaping up nicely, with Keegan Bradley - who didn't make the USA Team - pipping Europe's Justin Rose to the title on the first play-off hole after both players finished on -20. It wasn't all bad news for Rose though, as finishing 2nd meant he became the world's number one golfer for the first time in his career. The conclusion of the BMW Championship also saw Jim Furyk make his final Captain's Pick for Team USA, opting for big-hitter Tony Finau - despite Xander Schauffele's fine finish at the BMW. Finau might not win many tournaments, but he is remarkably consistent and a huge hitter, with 11 top-10 finishes in 2018. Schauffele will feel hard done by, but is certainly one to look out for next season. Meanwhile, Europe Team Captain Thomas Bjorn may be ruing a missed opportunity to choose Matt Fitzpatrick as one of his wildcard picks, after the Englishman beat Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard in a play-off to win the Omega European Masters title in Switzerland. Fitzpatrick won the same tournament last year, and becomes the first golfer since the great Seve Ballesteros to defend the trophy – so he’s certainly following the right footsteps! |

[* END *] Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most. |
It’s up to you
If you prefer a more modern look, why not try the TP Red-White Ardmore 3? Alignment is improved considerably thanks to the red-white contrast, which helps golfers envision a proper path from the ball to the hole. Various head shapes with different sightlines in the Ardmore range means there'll be a sightline to suit every golfer's eye. |
|
Something different
Alternatively, the Spider Tour from TaylorMade is certainly for those who prefer a larger head. This putter's used by some of the world's very best golfers, such as Jason Day and Dustin Johnson. A recent addition is the sightline on the crown, helping to dial in your focus over every putt as well as act as an extension to the line on your ball when lining up your putts. |
