6 August - US PGA Championship

Placed by K

Sergio Garcia £2 e/w @ 18/1
Rickie Fowler £2 e/w @ 22/1
Justin Rose £1 e/w @ 16/1
Henrik Stenson £1 e/w @ 25/1

Total Stake £12

Information: While Rory McIlroy lifted another trophy we had plenty of interest going into the last day. Henrik Stenson's 66 left him two behind the winner and a 68 from Fowler left him on the same mark.

A slow start from Rose meant his weekend pair of 67s weren't enough to get in the shake-up while a closing 73 ended any chance of Garcia getting in the money.

Still, that's another £20.25 in the win pot.

16 July - The Open

Placed by K

Henrik Stenson £2 e/w @ 16/1
Graeme McDowell £2 e/w @ 25/1
Rickie Fowler £1 e/w @ 35/1
Hunter Mahan £1 e/w @ 80/1

Total Stake £12

Information: Some of our selections were caught out by traditional British Open weather so Rickie Fowler was our main hope going into the final day. The American shot an excellent five under par round but Rory McIlroy had enough of a cushion to win by two strokes. Graeme McDowell also shot a last day 67 but a poor start to the tournament meant he finished ninth.

All the same, Fowler's result brings us £9.75.
