Played as the Catalina Island Open (Dec 13-15; 54-hole event). Second-placed Olin Dutra (USA) finished 1 shot behind 24-year-old Tony Manero (USA), who recorded the first of his eight PGA Tour wins. Manero shot a 7-under-par 59 on the final day, which involved two circuits on a par-33 nine-hole layout. On the first two days, the full 18-hole were used on this short 4,670-yard par-67 layout. [Catalina CC, Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, CA]. Note: the third edition of this tournament was scheduled to be played on Dec 12-14, 1930, but seemingly was not played.
Women’s (British) Open: the last women’s major championship of the season is hosted by Royal Porthcawl GC. It’s the first time this fabulous seaside links course has hosted the event (July 31-Aug 3).
Walker Cup: the 50th playing of this prestigious men’s amateur event sees the GB&I go head-to-head against the defending USA team at Cypress Point Club, California (Sept 6-7). After that, all eyes turn to Bethpage State Park on Long Island, NY, where the American and defending European professional teams engage in the 45th Ryder Cup (Sept 27-29).
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.
