Paul Lawrie hits Jean Van de Velde with five-birdie 

performance to win by 4 and 3 

Paul Lawrie beat his 1999 Open adversary, Jean van de Velde, by 4 and 3 in the annual Farmfoods PLGC Challenge Match at the nine-hole, par-3 Ardoe venue.
It had been scheduled for nine holes but Jean, looking to get some more golf under his belt ahead of the Senior Open at Carnoustie later this week, asked for it to be an 18-hole contest instead.


The standard of golf was good from the off with both players birdieing the first hole. Paul then holed a 10ft birdie putt at the second, while Jean missed from about half the distance.  Paul one up.


At the third, Paul’s ball found the fringe of the green about 15ft from the flag. Jean failed to get up-and-down from the steep slope at the front of the green.  Paul’s par was good enough for him to go two up.

Halves in 3s at the fourth and fifth were followed by another birdie for the host at the sixth, putting Lawrie three up on his challenger.  The seventh was halved as both players, (no more than 10ft away with their tee shots, narrowly missed their attempts for 2s.

Van de Velde pulled his tee shot at the testing eighth hole, missing the green by 20ft left.  He recovered beautifully with a flop shot to 4ft but could not convert the putt and Paul’s two-putt for a 3 was good enough to see him reach the ninth tee four up.
The ninth they halved in par and then both players birdied 10.  Jean then birdied the 11th to claw the match back to three down.


Two more birdies followed at the tough 12th before Paul hit a stunning six-iron at the 183yds 13th, setting-up his fifth birdie of the day and moving him into a four-hole lead again.


The host closed-out the match with two further pars which Van de Velde could not better and they shook hands on the 15th green with Paul the victor by a margin of 4 and 3.


A crowd of nearly 300 came out to enjoy the free exhibition match.

Aussie Baddeley grabs first US PGA Tour victory in 5 years at Barbasol Championship

Australian Aaron Baddeley held off Si Woo Kim in a play-off at the Barbasol Championship to claim his first US PGA Tour victory in five years Sunday.
After making three pars at the first three play-off holes along with Kim, Baddeley made a birdie at the par-4 18th to put Kim away.
Baddeley, once dubbed as the next big thing, has had a bit of a resurgence this season, posting four top 10s and six top 25s coming into this tournament. 
But a victory had eluded him since the 2011 Northern Trust Open. The fact that all the Tour "big names" were over in Scotland at the Open, certainly made it easier for the Australian ... but you still have to beat the other guys.
Baddeley shot a 5-under 66 in his final round, which included birdies at 16 and 17 to force a playoff with Kim, who bogeyed 18 for his only slip up of the day. Kim shot an 8-under 63, which included seven birdies and an eagle.
For Baddeley, the win marks his fourth career victory on Tour, and deprived Kim of his first career victory.
Kim, in his first full season on tour, grabbed the best finish of his career, and his third top 10 of the season.
Rookie Michael Johnson captured a third-place finish in his pro debut. A final-round 6 under moved him to 17 under.
Four golfers, including Jhonattan Vegas who led for most of the four days, finished three shots back at 15 under. Vegas had to finish his third round Sunday, and played his last five holes in that round at even par. 
Vegas then struggled on his first nine of the final round, with four bogeys. He was saved a bit by an eagle at the par-5 5th.
Vegas posted two more birdies on the back nine to get to 1 over par and finish at 15 under.
