Tiger's caddie reveals how much he
hates Phil Mickelson

FROM THE GUARDIAN.CO.UK WEBSITE
By LAWRENCE DONEGAN
Tiger Woods' caddie, Steve Williams, put an end to any lingering friendship between the world No 1 and Phil Mickelson with a withering assessment of Woods' compatriot and one-time Ryder Cup partner.
Williams, back home in New Zealand while his employer recovers from knee surgery, was asked for his opinion of Mickelson's golfing abilities. "I wouldn't call Mickelson a great player 'cause I hate the p----," he responded.
Williams is an infamously brusque individual who once threw a spectator's camera into a pond but, even by his standards, this was an astonishing thing to say. And to make matters worse he then told a story about this year's US Open at Torrey Pines, where Woods and Mickelson were paired together.
The two players were walking down the 17th fairway when, according to Williams, someone shouted "Phil" in Mickelson's direction. The world No 2 did not respond until the fan shouted "Hey, Mr Mickelson".
When Mickelson turned and waved, the fan yelled out "Nice tits". The crowd erupted in laughter. Mickelson went double bogey, bogey and his chances of winning the tournament disappeared.
As golfing heckles go, this one is almost as old as the mashie niblick but it is safe to assume Mickelson will not appreciate having it aired in public by Woods' bag carrier.
Williams' comments confirm that these are troubled times for those who peddle the image of golf as the most gentlemanly of sports, coming just days after Padraig Harrington revealed the extent of his enmity with Sergio Garcia — "We have nothing in common except golf."
Woods and his caddie not only work together, the golfer acted as Williams' best man at his wedding. It is safe to assume that Woods would have found the joke at Mickelson's expense as amusing as Williams clearly did.
Whatever the truth, Williams' comments will only add to the anticipation of Woods' return next year, not least for that moment when the two players are paired together at an event for the next time.
Will Mickelson and Williams exchange handshakes on the first tee or will they exchange something a lot less friendly?

EDITOR'S NOTE. In fairnesss to Phil Mickelson, it should be pointed out that Steve Williams would come last if a popularity poll of US Tour caddies was ever staged among the golfing media.
The above story reflects just what an objectionable character William is.

Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa

Coltart top Scot as Macaulay, McLean and
Drysdale join him in weekend action

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Oskar Henningsson, Len Mattiace and Robert Rock share the halfway lead at the Alfred Dunhill Championship after reaching 11 under par 133 for the first 36 holes at Leopard Creek Golf Club in South Africa.
All three players built on their impressive opening rounds as they opened up a one-shot lead over home favourite Richard Sterne, with five players a shot further back at nine under 135.
Mattiace - who led with Sweden`s Michael Jonzon overnight - added a 68 to his opening 65 with a bogey free round as the American, who lost a play-off to Mike Weir at the 2003 US Masters, seeks a first win on The European Tour.
England`s Rock had opened with a 66 but was only level par at the turn. However, he birdied five of his last six holes to storm into a share of the lead.
Speaking afterward, the Staffordshire golfer praised the course at Malelane as one he really favoured.
“I just like the course here, I like the holes,” he said. “I like the way the ball sits on the fairways as well. It suits the way I play my iron shots and the greens are great.
“I didn’t really putt that well. The back nine was similar to yesterday really. The front nine is tougher and I didn’t particularly play that well. But the driving has been the key so far really and that’s left me in a good position on every hole.”
Swede Henningsson produced the best round of the day, an eight under par 64, with four birdies on the front nine and four more on the way back without a bogey.
South African 27 year old Sterne is a stroke clear of Zimbabwe`s Marc Cayeux, Swede Johan Edfors, England`s John E Morgan and compatriots Tyrone Mordt and Charl Schwartzel after compiling a six under par second round 66. Sterne is bidding to become the first home winner of the event since Ernie Els three years ago.
Sterne started on the tenth and soon raced to six under for the day with an eagle at the par-5 13th and four straight birdies from the 14th.
His round threatened to unravel when he posted a triple bogey 8 at the 18th, but he recovered with three birdies on the front nine.
“It was quite a special round, obviously,” he said. “I had a little hiccup somewhere but it was all pretty good, pretty decent. I was never really in trouble.
“I made a lot of good putts on the back nine, which was my front nine today, six in a row or something, and that got things going, and then I played well on the front nine again after 18. I went three under and no mistakes.”
Swede Edfors posted a three under par round of 69 to move to nine under at the halfway stage, and was joined by local favourites Mordt and Schwartzel.
Edfors had produced a bogey free 66 in the opening round but although he dropped shots at the seventh, 13th and 17th in his second round six birdies ensured he remained in contention for a first European Tour title since The Barclays Scottish Open in 2006.
Mordt started at the tenth tee and was level par for his round after nine holes.
But he fired six birdies - four of them on consecutive holes from the par three fifth - and a single bogey to post a front nine 30 on the way in.
Schwartzel - who won the event in 2005 - added a 67 to his opening 68, while Morgan carded five birdies and a single bogey on his way to a 68.
Cayeux is without a win on The European Tour since 2004 but is firmly in the frame thanks to a 67.
COLIN FARQUHARSON'S SCOTSWATCH. Scottish amateur champion Callum Macaulay from Tulliallan survived the cut in his tournament debut as a professional. A second-round 69 for three-under-par 141 got him through to the weekend action with a stroke to spare. Top Scot of the four qualifiers is Andrew Coltart, who played in the 1999 Ryder Cup team alongwith Paul Lawrie. Coltart regained his European Tour status at the recent Q School and has started off steadily in South Africa with a pair of 70s for 140.
Canada-based Alan McLean from Glasgow slipped back a bit with a 74 but his first-round 68 stood him in good stead and 142 got him through right on the limit mark.
David Drysdale also qualified on two-under-par with a pair of 71s.
The other four Scots in the starting field failed to make it. Euan Little and Scott Drummond missed out by a shot, Little with scores of 71 and 72 for 143, Drummond 70 and 73.
Tartan Tour No 1 Chris Doak shot 73 and 71 for level par 144, good enough scoring, except on the European Tour where you need to get under par on a regular basis to make money.
Another European Tour rookie, Richie Ramsay was never going to beat the cut after an opening round of 76 but give the Aberdonian credit for still trying his very best on the second day and a two-under-par 70 will restore a bit of his self-confidence.

Pride before fall for Rhys Davies (75)
in Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open

Welsh rookie Rhys Davies fell from the sublime to the ridiculous on the second day of the Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open. He followed up his leading score of 64 with a three-over-par 75 to crash down the field.
Thailand’s Chawalit Plaphol broke away from the chasing pack to take the outright lead after posting a second round six-under-par 66.
Chawalit’s two-day total of 11-under-par 133 has now given him a slender one shot lead over fellow compatriot, Thongchai Jaidee, Corey Harris and Anthony Kang of the United States as the full-field Asian Tour event heads into the final weekend rounds.
The trio are bunched together in second place after recording matching 134s while Korea’s Park Jae-bum is a further shot back in fourth when he posted a two-day round score of 68, 67 for a 135 total.
The day seemed destined to end in a four-way tie at the top until Chawalit birdied his shot at the par three, 16th to snatch the lead at the Phokeethra Country Club.
The 34-year-old Thai enjoyed a blemish free round that was highlighted by a total of six birdies.
“My putting and tee shots worked well for me again today and I can’t really ask for more,” said Chawalit.
“I could have even extended my lead if I did not miss my birdie chance on the 17th,” added Chawalit who is seeking his third win on the Asian Tour.
Meanwhile, Harris who only got back to competitive golf after a hiatus of 12 months, is pleasantly surprised with the way he has been playing this week.
“I took a year off, got a teaching job and worked in a pro shop back in the United States. I didn’t play any golf during that time and only started practicing and getting back into shape in October,” said Harris.
The American made one of the biggest moves of the day to finish in tied-second after starting the day in tied-10th place.
Harris went on a birdie blitz, starting with an opening one on the front-nine, followed by two more on the fifth and ninth hole.
His back-nine was again lit with another five birdies and the only blemish to his round was a bogey on the par-three 16th.
“I’ve no expectations and I’m just out there to have a good time. For the first time in a while, I’m enjoying myself at a golf course,” said Harris.
Thongchai, on the other hand, got off to an opening par on his back-nine. The Thai star then ignited his charge by firing two successive birdies on the 11th and 12th.
A bogey on the par-four 15th only halted his charge momentarily as the Thai went on to record another birdie on the 18th just before making the turn in 34.
Four more birdies in his homeward run then gave the 2004 Asian Tour Order of Merit champion a well-deserved early morning lead together with Kang.
“The course is in good shape but the greens are very tricky. You’ve got to hit the fairways consistently and I think I managed to do all of that including attacking the pins today,” said Thongchai
“I’m really looking forward to the next two rounds as I know that I’m in for a good chance,” added Thongchai.
Kang who had earlier credited his strong opening round to his good iron shots was left to rue his chances of going further ahead after having to contend with his inconsistent drives.
“I seem to be spot on with the irons yesterday but today I was struggling a little with the direction. It was a little tough, but I’m happy that my good putting made up for a lot of it,” said Kang who mixed five birdies with two bogeys.
“I also didn’t have as many close birdie putts that I had yesterday but I hope everything will come back together again like it did yesterday,” added the American who is currently seeking his third Asian Tour title.
Korean Park Jae-bum continued to put in a strong stake for the title when he bettered his previous day’s score by another shot to finish his second round in 67.
The modest Korean, however credited his good round to lady luck instead.
“I guess I was pretty lucky today. There were a couple of shots which I hit into the rough but somehow they managed to bounce right back to the fairways,” said Park. “I just hope lady luck continues to shine on me.”
Park’s fellow compatriot Park Jun-won, meanwhile was disqualified for signing the wrong score card.
The cut has been set at even-par 144 with a total of 67 players making it into the weekend rounds.

Welcome back, Paul! Lawrie

named in Europe team to

play Asia at Bangkok

By COLIN FARQUHARSON

Paul Lawrie, the 1999 Open champion and Ryder Cup player the same year, has come in from the cold.

He has been named by Europe's captain, Jose Maria Olazabal in the team to play Asia for the Royal Trophy at Bangkok from January 9 to 11.

It's an early birthday present for Aberdonian Lawrie who will 40 on January 1.

The Scot joins England's Oliver Wilson, Paul McGinley of Ireland and Denmark's Soren Hansen in the squad. All have been Ryder Cup players.
"Paul brings to the team the experience and confidence of a major winner, the understanding of team golf acquired from being in the trenches in American soil at the Ryder Cup, and the talent and ability which has made him a great champion for so many years," said Olazabal who took over the captaincy responsibility from Seve Ballesteros shortly before his compatriot's release from hospital following brain surgery..
Lawrie won the 1999 Open in dramatic circumstances, coming from 10 strokes off the pace on the final day to reach a four-hole play-off where he beat American Justin Leonard and France's Jean Van de Velde at Carnoustie.
"When you play for Europe it is always an immense responsibility," Lawrie said. "You are representing our people and our history. I am committed to produce the best golf I am capable of, try as hard as I can and do everything possible to retain the solid-silver trophy in European hands."

The 2008 season was one of Paul's best since his peak year of 2009. He finished runner-up in the Portugal Masters and had several top-20 finishes.
The Asia team, captained by Joe Ozaki, includes Thai pair Thongchai Jaidee and Prayad Marksaeng, along with Japanese teen sensation Ryo Ishikawa and South Korea's S.K. Ho.
"We will be competing to defend European golf history, and we do not take it lightly," Olazabal said. "We are bringing to Thailand a fantastic European team heavy on team match-play experience and sharp on the production of highly efficient and precise golf.
"Make no mistake about it -- Europe is coming to Bangkok to win."

It's an Aussie 1-2-3 before flooding
halts Round 2 finish until Saturday

Heavy afternoon quickly flooded the greens at Royal Sydney golf course today and it will be Saturday before the second round of the Australian Open is completed and the cut figure known.
Australian Stephen Dartnell, 24, leads by two shots after a four-under-par 68 for 11-under-0par 133.
It's an Australian 1-2-3 at the moment with Matthew Goddin in second place after a 70 for 135 and Ewan Porter third with a 71 for 136.
American John Daly was one par for the nine holes he played today before the suspension but he is five over par for the tournament after an opening 78 and the likelihood is that he will miss the cut for a third consecutive week on the Aussie circuit.
"We have this morning had the opportunity to speak with John Daly concerning yesterday's incident (when he smashed a specator's camera) on the ninth hole," tour commissioner Ben Sellenger said. "The matter has now been resolved in accordance with the regulations of the PGA Tour.
"The outcome reached is a private matter between John and the PGA Tour, consistent with the policy of the tour."

Grandstand finish earns a few dollars more in Florida

for Russell Knox

Florida-based Russell Knox from Inverness hit form in the last round to finish joint ninth and earn $2,415 in the Hooters Tour Winter Series event at Southern Dunes Golf & Country Club, Haines City, Florida.
Knox was in joint 28th place after two opening rounds of 71 but a five-under-par 67, in which he covered his last 15 holes in six under par, saw him surge up the leaderboard fo finish on seven-under-par 209.
Russell had three birdies in his first round, two in his second and six in his final round in which he bogeyed the second and then birdied the long fourth, the fifth, the long ninth, the 15th, the long 16th and 18th.
The scoring on the Hooters Tour is always very low as witness the winner in this event by five strokes of the $12,414 top prize. Keegan Bradley from Huntington, New York State shot 67, 66 and 67 for a 16-under-par total of 200. Knox had to shoot two-under-par 142 to beat the cut after two rounds.
Knox and Bradley shared the low-round honours on the final day with their 67s.
The Scot finished joint second in last week's event and is one of the leading money winners on the Hooters Tour in 2008.
David Kirkpatrick, another Florida-based Scot from Edinburgh, failed to survive cut.

The Hooters Tour Winter Series now takes a break until mid-January.
