It’s starting to heat up nicely

Well isn’t this starting to become rather interesting all of a sudden? With the mini Beast from the East rearing its ugly head over the weekend and ruining many people’s chance to take to the course, we found ourselves glued to the TV with one thing in mind: Tiger time.

It wouldn’t be right to talk about the weekend’s golf without prior mention to the legendary Arnold Palmer. This was the second playing of his event at Bay Hill since his passing and it was no surprise to see such a stellar field competing on The King’s home course; someone who was a trailblazer of the game for an entire generation.

But it was one of golf’s current superstars - Rory McIlroy - who stole the limelight with a superb 8-under-par on Sunday. Shooting 64 is impressive under all conditions, but it was how Rory effortlessly found another gear down the final stretch on Sunday afternoon, firing five birdies in his last six holes, to ease his way to a three-shot victory.

A quick glance at the final leaderboard and you’ll find four major winners in the top five. With Augusta just a few weeks away and so many of golf's elite finding top form, it is gearing up to be one of the most entertaining Masters in recent years.
