2024/09/26

If Colin Montgomerie has nightmares, they are likely to feature the 18th at Winged Foot, where he had a great chance of finally landing an elusive major title in 2006. Yet Americans tend to remember Phil Mickelson blowing his chance to win that US Open on the same hole. More recently Bryson DeChambeau tamed the famous course, but there were no spectators to cheer him on because of Covid restrictons.So how would Neil cope?Do you agree with our review?

Ashridge, Hertfordshire, England

The Golf Pilgrim Top 100 ·

2024/07/26
