QUOTE OF THE WEEK

‘Thank God this lad is over in America! You stay right there, son! No need to bother with the European Tour. I’m far too old to be getting involved with that.’ Paul Waring gives a typically wry Scouse take on learning that American Cameron Champ hit nine drives over 320 yards and one of 360 yards on his way to a four-shot success in the Sanderson Farms Championship in only his second start on the PGA Tour on Sunday. Just as scary is the fact that the 23-year-old can putt as well. First in driving distance and second in strokes gained in putting adds up to a golfer with a perfect surname.
