'I'm gobsmacked': Kiwi golfer Daniel Hillier wins British Masters title after stunning final round
Great to see the young man win his first professional title in his rookie year. Earns himself a spot at The Open Championship.

My fav major, just ahead of the masters.
The first tee is pretty tight. Not many finding the fair way. Really interesting course. 5th is a super short par 5, only 480yards
As always with links courses, you need to take into account the prevailing wind. I played Royal North Devon once when the wind was opposite to the usual and a couple of guys drove a par 5. Normally lucky to get there in three.

Yeah mate, I’ve played a bit of golf before and my local track is links.
It’s a funny hole the 5th with second shot often longer than the first (I hate holes like that!).

Apparently Gulf Harbour golf club is closing. Had a lot of fun playing there circa 2000.

It was a lovely golf course to play. I used to enjoy Formosa as well, but that's gone too

He had an amazing bit of luck chipping from the rough. Hit the flag pole and dropped within a few feet.
Previous hole missed a birdie from ~ five feet.
