Kings Hill starlet Sian Evans is in the middle of her journey to play in the Ladies British Open. She qualified on Monday and is now 18 holes away from representing us at a Major! Her very impressive level-par score at The Berkshire was a great achievement in the weather conditions (as seen here). I'm sure you will join me in wishing her good luck.
I can only say good things about the coverage of The Open on Sky Sports. Will be get a British winner? I think that the weather and draw will determine the winner come Sunday, but the champion golfer will definitely have battled for it. I think Dustin Johnson or Jason Day will be the two to beat at Troon.
