The Maybank Malaysian Open was a bit weird this weekend. Llee Weswood was so in charge along with Alejandro Canizares and Bernd Weisberger on Thursday and Friday but all went off the boil over the weekend and little known Anirban Lahiri from India soared into contention on Saturday with his 62, then a -4 68 was enough to do the trick on Sunday. Richard T Lee from Vancouver had a great T5 at -11, his best result of this young year and the best Canadian result I can remember on the European Tour since Jerry Anderson won in Switzerland all those years ago. This week they all move up to Thailand..

Sadly the big news here came on Thursday, 11th hole to be precise when you know who's wonky back gave out forcing him to retire. Then Phil and Justin and Jordan and most every other marquee name followed suit on Friday so much of the glamour of the Framers Insurance was everywhere but at Torrey Pines which was playing very difficult. For example the final-round scoring average was 74.05
Nobody could separate themselves from the field enough to win and in the end 4 guys had to playoff. JB Holmes, Scott Stallings, Harris English and the winner with a par on the second hole Jason Day, who now joins the other young hotshots led by Rory in the world's top 5, at #4, ahead of fellow Aussie Adam Scott.
They honoured Billy Casper who grew up in San Diego, and died Saturday night, with a picture of him on the first tee and flowers. He was the best putter I ever saw along with Ben Crenshaw and Bob Charles.

So as I wrote last week, the motto of these Caribbean jewels is everything is better in the Bahamas, and for those of you who've been there you can find any number of reasons to agree,
However when it comes to golf, they seem to be plagued by weather that would have us asking for our money back, The rain and wind lashed this Pure Silk Bahamas Championship on the Ocean Club GC on Thursday and Friday, last year they only got 36 holes in..
Finally three women most of you have never heard of went to a playoff and South Korean rookie Sei Young Kim won it with a birdie on the first playoff hole over countrywoman Sun Young Yoo and Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn.
Lydia Ko tied for seventh at -11 in her first event as the No. 1 player in the world. She shot 70-68 on the weekend.

I know the old adage if if's and buts were candies and nuts we'd all have a very nice Christmas, but here's a but !
Rod Spittle finished T9 (73) at -8. Nice news you say but here's the deal after making 3 birdies in 4 holes on the front nine he took 10 shots to complete the par 5 6th !! Now if he just takes a par 5 he finishes at -13 and wins by a shot !!
They were playing at a course called Broken Sound, and it was an exciting day Sunday, with nine players having a share of the lead at some point, Paul Goydos birdied the last hole and finished at -12 204 to claim the $255,000 first prize
Stephen Ames T32 -3 and Jim Rutledge T51 +2
