Lucky number 17 for Reavie

If Chez Reavie plays the lottery this week then we recommend one of his picks is 17.

The American claimed the Travelers Championship by four shots with a total 17-under-par but despite shooting a joint back-nine record at TPC River Highlands on Saturday with a 7-under 28, a charging Keegan Bradley had his lead down to just one with three to play come Sunday.

Lucky number 17 came to the rescue though as Bradley shot a double bogey at the par 4 seventeenth whilst Reavie sunk a birdie at the same hole to stretch the lead to four where it stayed.

It was Chez Reavie’s second PGA Tour win and first since claiming the Canadian Open in 2008 – a tournament he won with a total score of (yep you guessed it) 17-under par.

Spooky.

11 up as Green takes major glory

Australian Hannah Green took a wire to wire victory at the Women's PGA Championship thus creating a truly remarkable statistic – The last eleven women’s major tournaments have seen eleven different winners.

If that wasn’t enough, the last four winners have all been aged 23 or under!

Coming into the tournament after a missed cut in her prior event, few gave Green a second glance until she stormed to the top of the leaderboard with a 4-under 68 on day one.

There she stayed despite a wobble through the middle section on Sunday with bogies at 9, 11, and 12 to hold off defending champion Sung-Hyun Park by a single shot on 9-under.

England’s Melissa Reid fired in a total six-under par to finish in a tie for 3rd and record her best major finish to date.
