|
|
|
|
 Brett Wetterich edged his way into a one-shot lead in the third round of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Sunday, hitting a five-under-par round of 66.
Mr Wetterich, at 13 under is currently a single shot ahead of Arron Oberholser, who also made it round in 66 on Sunday.
"I had a great day," Mr Wetterich said after he took the lead in the second leg of the four-event FedExCup series.
"I made some great putts and I really gained a stroke or two by making par on the fifth so I can't complain," he added.

ABTA: Holidaymakers should write their mobile numbers on luggage |
|

 Passengers should write their mobile number on or inside their suitcase in case their baggage is mislaid and keep receipts for its contents, says the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA).
A mere two per cent of the bags reported lost are actually lost, while the rest are delayed, said Sean Tipton, spokesperson for the ABTA.
Most bags "are simply delayed and while this is an inconvenience, they are not lost, they will turn up. Most airlines try to get them back to you within 48 hours," he said.

Tiger Woods wins US PGA championship |

 Tiger Woods has won the US PGA championship, giving him his 13th professional major title and putting him only five behind the record of 18 majors, held by Jack Nicklaus.
The 89th PGA was the hottest major golf championship ever recorded, and at one point Woods had seen his lead reduced to just one stroke after a three-putt bogey on the 14th.
However, Woods has gone on to lose a tournament when he has led by more than one going into the last round, and the 14th was as close as the competition got.
"I did some serious yelling at myself going to the 15th tee," the champion said.

Love in a foreign country |

 More and more couples are choosing to get married abroad, according to a spokesman from a specialist wedding travel agency.
Spokesperson Mark Bell for White Sand Weddings said that an increase in luxury hotels, cheaper flights and bad weather have prompted more couples to have their wedding ceremonies abroad.
"Weather is clearly one reason why so many couples choose to tie the knot abroad - and after such conditions over the past few months, we have noticed an increase in enquiries for 2008/9 weddings."
Mr Bell added that marriages abroad have the advantage of being removed from friends and family, making it a more private affair.

Spain leads golf tourism market |
|
|
|
|
 The importance of the game of golf to the tourism industry has been highlighted by the fact that the Turkish Golf Federation (TGF) is actively pursuing a policy to cultivate a "golf culture" in the country.
Should this be achieved, it is hoped that the golf tourism market will also experience growth.
"It is impossible to raise golf tourism if there is no golf culture in the country," confirmed Ahmet Agaoglu, TGF president, in the Voices newspaper.
Turkey is hoping to emulate Spain, the current golf tourism market leader.

Woods hurries to WGC Invitational trophy |
|
|
|
|
 Tiger Woods put his British Open disappointment behind him to win the WGC Invitational at Firestone Country Club by an astonishing eight strokes.
Trailing overnight leader Rory Sabbatini by one going into the last round, Woods, who fell well short of securing a third Open in a row at Carnoustie last month, shot a seven-under-par round of 65 to leave the rest of the field in his wake.
Nearest rival Sabbatini eventually finished eight shots adrift, tied for second with Englishman Justin Rose after a disappointing 74.
"That was fun," said Woods on his round.

St Andrews breaks down barriers by hosting Women's British Open |
|
|
|
|
 History is being made at the Royal and Ancient Golf Club at St Andrews this week as it plays host to a women's professional golf tournament for the first time.
For over 250 years, the Royal & Ancient clubhouse - which nestles behind the first tee - has been exclusively reserved for males, but for the duration of the Women's British Open it will be open to all.
Indeed, Janice Moody - a 34-year-old pro from Scotland - reportedly became the first mother to change a nappy in the clubhouse in its 253-year history when her son Craig found himself in need of attention.
Women have been permitted to play the Old Course, though, for the last 30 years.
