Welcome to this week’s social media round-up from the around the golfing globe. We’re starting in South Korea, where PGA Tour star Sang-moon Bae hit his first shot in three months after earning a five-day break from his military service.

I have not practiced for last 3month but swinging okay !! #roka #5daysbreak #sangmoonbae#military

While Bae was celebrating heading back to the range, compatriot Ha Na Jang was celebrating winning the Coates Golf Championship on the LPGA Tour, and performed this slick samurai move.

And sticking with the talented crop of young Asian golfers, Hideki Matsuyama clinched his second PGA Tour win in Phoenix – but our Twitter followers were adamant that the man he defeated, Rickie Fowler, will win a major championship before he does. Do you agree?

One of the worst shots at the Waste Management last week went to Troy Merritt, whose wayward drive clattered into a spectator before perching itself on a dining table. And, speaking of driving, check out what Aaron Baddeley rocked up to the tournament in!

Bryson DeChambeau has gained many admirers from his European Tour stint in the Middle East, with 2010 Ryder Cup player Edoardo Molinari the latest to sing his praises.

And speaking of American prodigies, Jordan Spieth, who is just 50 days older than DeChambeau, is playing at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am this week, with the first 8,000 fans through the gates on Saturday getting this free bobblehead of the two-time major winner.

Doesn’t look much like him, huh?

And finally…

Henrik Stenson needs YOUR help!

A young lad, going by the name of Hannes, requested an autograph from the Swede, only he forgot to add his own address.

Är det någon som har en ledtråd på vilken liten Hannes som vill ha en autograf? Han har missat att skriva sin adress i sitt brev till mig…..:-( H

As a result, Stenson shared this post on Facebook so, hopefully, this story will have a happy ending and Hannes can get the signature of his hero!
