Champion’s Breakfast :: Nov 16 Reed’s eagle, Park’s reward and Rory or Danny?

Shot of the year?

Take a bow Patrick Reed. Take into account the situation – this eagle gave him a share of the lead – and this shot has to be considered one of the best of the season.

We don’t need to say any more, just watch the clip below!

Gallacher sneaks into Dubai

Following Sergio Garcia’s decision not to play in the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai this week, Stephen Gallacher, 61st in the Race to Dubai standings, will take his place, joining fellow Scots Marc Warren and Richie Ramsay in the field.

Here’s a look at the Race to Dubai top ten:

Inbee Park closed the gap on Lydia Ko as world No.1 with a comfortable three-shot victory at the Lorena Ochoa Invitational – her fifth win of a tremendous year which also included major wins at the Ricoh Women’s British Open and the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.

Park and Ko are now set to go head-to-head for the CME Group Tour Championship in Florida this week.

Unlucky!

While Patrick Reed’s shot above is arguably one of the best shots of the year, the European Tour have also compiled a video of the unluckiest shots of the year, featuring Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood and THAT miss by Alvaro Quiros…
