While England’s footballers creep home from the World Cup, pathetically trying to convince themselves that they are really world beaters, and would have done so much better if their latest manager had managed to understand them better, English golfers continue to improve and win what is put in front of them!

Just before the German footballers demonstrated their technical and mental superiority over the English, a young Englishman finished off another big European Tour event with two birdies in the last three holes to dramatically beat, a German, Alex Cejka!

David Horsey took a big step in his career to become yet another Englishman who has the confidence to step up win a big Tour event when he won the BMW International Open, and £333,030 to boot.

This really must be the year that Brits are all over the leader board at the Open, with any one of a possible ten genuine contenders taking the title! If that happens the World Cup in South Africa will be well and truly forgotten!
