Kaymer Wins Scottish Open.

Hello All,

Well, after a terrific four days of golf at Loch Lomond, Germany's Martin Kaymer became The Scottish Open champion on Sunday. Kaymer had a final round 69 for a 15 under total and a two shot victory over Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Raphael Jacquelin. This victory made it two in a row for the young German, who also won last weeks French Open in Paris, to take his winnings to just over 1 million pounds in a week.

Despite living not too far from the Loch Lomond course, I made my first visit to the tournament at the weekend. And I have to say it was everything I expected. The course was presented in immaculate condition, but the setting, with the loch as the centrepiece and the surrounding hills, make it a truly magical place. With the weather being at it's best, I would say it is a course to rival any in the world.

And now we move on down the west coast to Turnberry, for The British Open. I'm sure young Kaymer will take plenty of confidence into this week, as will a few others after their performances at the weekend. But this will be a totally different test of golf, and with a few more "names" competing, like Tiger and Garcia it will be interesting to see how the young guns get on. More reports as the week progresses.

The Scottish Open.

Hello To All,

Well, it's time for a fortnights top class golf in Scotland. Next week we have the big one, The Open, at the magnificent Turnberry. But Before that, starting today, we have the Scottish Open, being played over the superb Loch Lomond course.

So, do you think last years winner, Graeme McDowall, can retain his title on the Bonnie Banks? If he does he will be the first person to achieve it. It is a tournament that attracts the top golfers in the world every year, so it is ultra competitive, and ultra hard to win. Geoff Ogilvy, Angel Cabrera, Tim Clarke and Retief Goosen along with Rory McIlroy, Lee Westwood and Ernie Els are all competing this year, so we should have another terrific tournament.

And then on to next week, just down the road to Turnberry for The Open.

All eyes will be on Tiger Woods, to see if he can win his 15th Major Championship. But a world class line up will make sure that it will not be a cakewalk, whoever triumphs at the end of the week. And we will all have our favourites, so let us know, on here who you think will win next week at Turnberry.

I'm hoping to get along to at least one of these great tournaments in the next week, so I will keep you all posted. And don't forget, leave your comments on here about who you think will win, or indeed anything golf related, and we could all share our thoughts.
