Did you know?

The Great Rift Valley in eastern Africa is a geographic trench that was originally thought to run 6,000 kilometres from Lebanon's Beqaa Valley in the north, down to Mozambique in the south.

In fact the Great Rift Valley is now known to comprise separate rift and fault systems; the Great Rift name is most often used to refer to what is actually the smaller East African Rift.

Who's Who

Lottie Woad: 21-year-old Woad burst onto the professional scene in July, with wins in the Women’s Irish Open (as an amateur) and three weeks later in the Women’s Scottish Open (as a professional). She nearly picked-up a major championship, placing third in The Evian in the same month.

Pádraig Harrington: the ever-likeable Irishman added the (British) Senior Open Championship title to his stellar array of tournament successes. His win came on Sunningdale’s spectacular Old Course. Harrington had already bagged the U.S. Senior Open title in June this year.
