In the Bag 2013 with Tom Watson

In the coming years, when we celebrate the achievements of golfing legends, such as when the likes of Arnold Palmer, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus are honoured by ceremonially teeing off at the Masters, the name of Tom Watson should sit comfortably alongside such golfing luminaries.

 

Watson’s achievements in the game, allied to his warm, friendly demeanour have won him countless of fans and tournaments across the globe, yet there is a good reason why this 63-year old is not quite ready to become an iconic figurehead – and that is because the next US Ryder Cup captain is defying advancing years to still show sparkling form against the world’s best.

In the Bag 2013: Graeme McDowell

Former US Open Champion Graeme McDowell found form perhaps a week later than he would have liked. After missing the cut at The Masters, the Ulsterman returned to form with his first win on tour since  the 2010 Andalucia Valderrama Masters at the RBC Heritage last weekend.

His victory came via a play-off after he tied with Webb Simpson on -9 for the tournament in testing conditions, so let’s discover a little more about the likeable Irishman and his clubs for the 2013 season.

Will the young lion McIlroy roar, or has Tiger found his stripes?

One of the most enthralling aspects of the 2013 will not take place in any one weekend, but over the entire course of the campaign as the young pretender, Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, attempts to wrestle back the World Number One slot from arguably the finest golfer ever to pick up a club, the resurgent Tiger Woods.

In this article, we’ll examine the two players season so far, what their aims will be for May and beyond and lastly, who we think will be sitting atop the World Golf rankings come December.

In the Bag 2013: Angel Cabrera

In the Bag 2013: Angel Cabrera

Angel Cabrera was inches away from winning his second green jacket in 2013 Masters. As the picture below clearly shows, his chip shot at the first extra play off against Adam Scott missed the cup by fractions of an inch and forced them down a second play off hole, which the Australian then went on to win.

The likeable Argentinean however will likely be back to challenge next year as he has a formidable record at Augusta, winning in 2009 and being in the final groups on Sunday afternoon in both 2011 and 2013.

Nicknamed “El Pato” or “The Duck” for the waddling gait he exhibits on the course, Cabrera employs his own son as his caddy and his second place at the Masters moved him up to 64th in the World.

Let’s find out a little more about this enigmatic South American, including what is in his bag for 2013.

In the Bag 2013 with Luke Donald

With all the drama over Tiger Woods regaining top spot in the World Rankings and Rory McIlroy’s loss of form, it has perhaps been overlooked that another player seeking success in the Majors, and many other tournaments in 2013, is a former World Number 1 seeking to usurp the ‘big two’ and re-establish himself at the top of the game.

That man is Luke Donald, so let’s take a look at the career so far and what is in his bag for the 2013 season.

In the Bag 2013 with Kevin Streelman

After a long career on tour that stretches back to 2003, journeyman professional Kevin Streelman finally ended his ten-year wait for a tour title by clinching the 2013 Tampa Championship last weekend.

His sumptuous play during the final round saw him hold off a fierce challenge by Boo Weekley, who carded a superb eight-under final round to set a tough clubhouse score earlier in the day. Despite this, Streelman produced one of his best performances on a golf course, hitting some superb iron and wedge shots in particular to hold onto the lead and take victory by two shots.

The win not only gives him a healthy boost up the Fedex Cup and World Rankings, but also qualifies him for next month’s Masters tournament at Augusta.
