    '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.

            @Catogrande

            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!).

              Seve did something like that on one of those “being filmed, having a chat, playing a round”.

              So Seve, short par four, what will you take?

              Wedge, driver.

              You mean driver, wedge.

              No.

              And yes, he made the green.

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

                          @canefan good riddance to Formosa.

                          Played a few times for average round time of over 5 hours.

                          Oh snd lost around 2 balls an hour ….

                          Disappointing day for the kiwis at the Open.

                            I used to play midweek for supercheep at Formosa. I didn't think it was that bad.... Gulf Harbour was prettier. Auckland clearly can't support resort golf courses

                                        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.
