While there’s little chance of him taking on Taylor Swift in the music world, the boy from Holywood, Co Down, certainly didn’t disappoint on the microphone
Watch: Rory McIlroy celebrates Zurich Classic victory with rendition of Don’t Stop Believin’The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews has reopened its historic clubhouse following completion of renovation work to extend the building and implement new and enhanced facilities. The redevelopment of the clubhouse is the largest undertaking in 100 years, with the last significant addition to the world-renowned building having taken place in 1924.
Martin Slumbers, Secretary of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, said, “The clubhouse renovation is the most significant enhancement that we have made to the building in 100 years and we are pleased to have made these improvements while retaining its special character and appearance. All members will now be able to enjoy the use of new and improved facilities which will enrich their experience of visiting and playing golf in St Andrews.
But just over two weeks after that unsettling finish and loss, Hoch proved his great resilience when winning a playoff of his own in the Las Vegas Invitational – now known as the Shriner’s Childrens Open on the PGA Tour – where, after rounds of 69-64-68-65-70 for a 90-holes total of 24-under-par 336, he beat Robert Wrenn at the fifth hole of he man-on-man shootout. It was his first win on tour in five years.
“My wife has been after me ever since to donate something to them. I’m not a real religious man, but I said ‘God willing’ . . . .” said Hoch, who was as good as his word in giving half of his winnings to the hospital.“Well I joined that boozy lunch in the early evening back in October that led to Rory and Shane partnering up this week. Always brings a smile to see any of my players win – winning together is event better.
