Stenson out of BMW Masters

Henrik Stenson has become the latest big name to withdraw from this week’s BMW Masters tournament at Lake Malaren in China.

The $7 million European Tour event had already seen both Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia pull out in recent weeks.

Stenson has now confirmed that he will not be making the trip to China either following the birth of his third child, daughter Alice, on Sunday.

"No3 has arrived!!" Stenson posted on his Facebook page along with a picture of himself holding the family’s latest arrival.

"Alice was born Sunday afternoon! Mommy did great! Lisa and Karl seems to be pretty happy with the new addition."

The Swede’s withdrawal means that none of the top three players in the Race to Dubai standings will now be present this week in the first of four season-ending series events on the European Tour.

McIlroy & Garcia also absent

McIlroy revealed last week that he would be skipping both the BMW Masters and the subsequent WGC-HSBC Champions event in order to prepare for his forthcoming court appearance in the legal dispute with his former management company.

"I'm going to need time away from tournament golf to prepare for the trial over my legal dispute with Horizon Sports Management," the Northern Irishman explained.

The hearing is set to take place in February and McIlroy will not play again until next month's seasonal finale - the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.

Meanwhile, Garcia has opted to rest up and will return at next week’s WGC event.

There are still seven of Europe’s victorious Ryder Cup team competing at Lake Malaren GC with Justin Rose, Graeme McDowell, Victor Dubuisson, Thomas Bjorn, Jamie Donaldson, Stephen Gallacher and Ian Poulter all in the 78-man field.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
