if you get the chance to see the golf on Sky you'll see that that GM's new touring pro Sam Hutsby is currently right up at the top of the leaderboard at the Castello Masters
fingers crossed for the boy!
looks very very comfortable but will his arse start nipping when the real heat is on?? Hope he can hold it together,great to see another young gun up front.
He played well until the 18th and was holing out from 6-10 feet with aplomb. I agree it'll be squeeky bum time tomorrow but he's got a solid amateur career behind him including Walker Cup and being young and fearless has nothing really to lose. Go get them Sam.
saw him on golf night last night getting interveiwed,look a nice level headed lad,then saw the shot that they had off, him hitting a 3 wood out of a bunker on a par 5 some shot!
sorry to say, he holed his 2nd on the first today and a bit down hill after that,hope he can pull it back,at only 20 he will have a great future in the game
Good solid top ten finish which for the 3rd event of a fledging career is a great effort. On the plane to Singapore for next weeks event so hopefully another good performance beckons. Wonder if any of the GM team fancy swapping their journalistic careers to be his bagman and a % of what looks like some decent money over the next few years. Now there would be a coup and a story!
Just had a look at the entry list for Singapore. There's so many Aisan Tour players in the field that Sam needs 70 odd guys to drop out before he gets in. Even Jonzon, who won today needs someone to drop out in order to make the tee.
Then you've got the World Matchplay and the HSBC Champions which he won't get into. After that its Hong Kong and Australia until the big one in Dubai.
According to the commentary today his top 10 has earnt him a place. Might be an error on their part or he might just have leapfrogged one of the Asian names
