For a man who has achieved so much in golf, and who has shaped the current position of professional golf like no other, Jack Nicklaus is a remarkably humble man. As he stood on the famous Swilken Bridge at St. Andrews in 2005, taking a ten minute standing ovation from an adoring crowd, Nicklaus was saying goodbye on the final hole when playing in his last Open Championship. The Golden Bear’s illustrious career achievements remain as fresh and vibrant as ever.

Few golfers have made as much of an impression over their first three rounds as a professional as young British player Tom Lewis. After leading this year’s British Open alongside Thomas Bjorn after the first round, his talent was duly noted on the world stage. Two months later, Lewis was one of the stars of the victorious Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team and it was expected that the player, who was ranked as the 7th best Amateur in the world at the start of the tournament, would turn professional after the event.
That proved to be the case and Lewis made his debut as a professional at the Austrian Open later that month, recovering well from an opening round 74, to finish tied for tenth in his first European Tour tournament.

Bryce Molder’s nerve-jangling victory at the FRYS.com Open on 9 October was his first on the tour. In a day when big names like Ernie Els and Paul Casey struggled to match his stunning final round 64 and Tiger Woods was seemingly pestered by a man flinging hot dogs (!), Molder triumphed when he defeated Briny Baird on the sixth play-off hole, sinking a 6-foot birdie putt after a dramatic marathon play off.
Molder is a Titleist staff player and outlined below are the clubs he used to record superb final rounds of 65 and 64, to win the FRYS.com championship.

Just a few weeks ago, Lexi Thompson, 16, pocketed a winning cheque of £124,000 after a final round 70 saw her clinch the LPGA Navistar Classic in Prattville, Alabama, setting a new benchmark as the youngest ever winner on the LPGA tour.
Thompson’s star has been in the ascendency for some time. Last year, as a 15-year-old, she finished an astonishing fourth in the U.S.Women’s Open at Oakmont and a few years back played in the tournament as a 12-year-old.
While current LPGA rules state that only golfers over the age of 18 are allowed to play on the tour full time, Commissioner Mike Whan is expected to announce shortly that Thompson, who petitioned the LPGA for acceptance onto the tour next season following her win, will waive the age restriction in her case.

If you are a believer that to become the best player in the world, you need to have swung a golf club since the day you started to walk, then Lee Westwood is evidence that this is not the case.
But Lee Westwood never owned his own set of clubs until he reached the age of 13 when his grandparents bought him his own half set. Not that Lee was slow to develop his skills with his new gift, becoming junior champion of his home county Nottinghamshire less than two years later.
It is fair to say that prior to the 2011 season, few people in professional golf had heard of Keegan Bradley.
But as the winner of two events in his first season as a PGA pro, including the recent major win at the USPGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club, that has most certainly changed.
The native of Woodstock, Vermont was born on June 7 1986 and turned professional in 2008 after graduating from St John’s University. He began his competitive career on the NGA Hooters Tour, winning in his fifth and final event of the year before winning a second event in 2009 at the Texas Honing Open. He attempted to earn his PGA Tour card for 2010 but failed to do so by two shots, however a year later a consistent season on the Nationwide tour saw him finish 14th in the money list and earn his PGA card for 2011.
