Angel CabreraAngel Cabrera is back in the news again having just won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, which this year was held in, golf mad, Bermuda.  The event brings together the winners of Golf’s four Majors, who play off against one another over two rounds. 

This year’s Major winners were Angel Cabrera (US Open), Padraig Harrington (British Open), Zach Johnson (The Masters) and Tiger Woods (PGA Championship).  Tiger produced a doctor’s note to say, that he was too exhausted and could he be excused - his place was taken by Jim Furyk.

Cabrera clinced the title and the  $1.35m prize money after winning a play-off with Padraig Harrington.

Meanwhile in Vilamoura at the Portugal Masters, German rookie, Martin Kaymer who is in his first year of the European Tour, has stormed into the lead with a blistering first round that saw him card an 11-under-par 61, and in the process take two strokes off the course record.  Kaymer who last year shot a 59 in the second round of the Hasbserg Classic, leads by three, with Nick Dougherty five behind and Rory McIlroy 10 behind.  McIlroy put his lack lustre performance down to tiredness, admitting that he was “Frazzled” after his recent professional debuts.

It will be interesting to see if Kaymer can keep up this pace, but I have to admit that this weekend my attention will be elsewhere; tomorrows Rugby World Cup final in Paris and the last race of the Formula 1 season in Brazil, to decide this year’s champion.
