GREGORY’S WHIRL

LET’S hear it for the classy Englishman who shot 92 in the first round and still signed autographs and spoke at length to the media. What he didn’t say was how in the build-up he gave away his allocation of free tickets to a local branch of army veterans. All those who sought to ridicule him on social media on day one should be truly ashamed of themselves, and not just because he earned his place in the field on merit. The 23-yearold from Portsmouth is one to root for, and no mistake.
