Two weeks running on the Lee Westwood bandwagon on the PGA Tour, as another bridesmaid finish at THE PLAYERS netted Lee a cool $1.6m.  The winner was Justin Thomas. His 14th victory on the PGA Tour was secured with an extremely impressive final two rounds of ball striking.  Positive news elsewhere for European Ryder Cup hopefuls with top 10 finishes for Paul Casey, Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sergio Garcia, Victor Perez, and Matthew Fitzpatrick.

On the European Tour, Antoine Rozner became the fastest Frenchman to two ET wins by capturing the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in just his 29th start. Rozner holed a 60 foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole to win by one, in what were some extremely challenging wind conditions.

The rest of this week’s podcast focuses on profiling seven up-and-coming players: Adrian Meronk, Richard Mansell, Ondrej Lieser, Maverick Antcliff, Robin Sciot-Siegrist, Wilco Nienaber, and Calum Hill.  As the European Tour competes with WGCs and some big events on the PGA Tour, this is the perfect time in the season for these players to break through and earn some much needed Race to Dubai points.  Look out for their performances in the back-to-back tournaments at the Karen Country Club in Nairobi at the Magical Kenya Open this weekend.
