Re: Bluemoon Golf Competition 2013
Well we had a very interesting Valero Texas Open with Martin Laird shooting a stunning nine under 63 to storm to an incredible and unlikely victory and book his coveted place at Augusta this week. He saw off a resurgent Rory McIlroy who has played himself back into some semblance of form with a strong 2nd place finish at the weekend. This means that there were some much needed points taken by the bottom half of the table last week:
1) PhuketBlue 5620
2) The cookie monster 5285
3) MC 5110
4) TaxiforCreaney 4835
