• Southgate’s unlucky break

    Matthew Southgate’s chances of earning his PGA Tour card for next season took a serious turn for the worse in the unluckiest of fashions.

    The Englishman’s final round at the DAP Championship ended in bizarre circumstances after a leaf interrupted his ball after his putt on the 15th green at the Canterbury Golf Club in Ohio.
