Hello my golfing friends,

Well, we had a couple of epic head-to-head battles this weekend. Steve Flesch duelling it out against Chad Campbell on the PGA Tour and Trevor Immelman matching birdies with Padraig Harrington on the European Tour as they left the rest of the field in their wake. Fortunately, both "matches" were settled in regulation play and playoffs were not needed to separate them in the end, which is probably a good thing as they could have gone on until the sun went down.

As I mentioned last week, exemption from US Open qualifying by virtue of World Ranking position will be decided this weekend. Alex Cejka made a good effort in Germany last week but only managed to get up to 52nd place and doesn't play this week. Colin Montgomerie dropped out of the top 50 so he'll be looking to pick up some points at the Volvo PGA Championship and John Daly (54th) shouldn't need to do too much at the Fedex St. Jude Classic to earn his US Open spot. John Huston (49th) seems to be the only player currently in the top 50 who looks likely to be nudged out at the last minute.

That's it for now. Don't forget, if there is anything you would like us to add to Golfing Weekly, or if you have any comments you would like to make, just drop us a line. This is your magazine and we want you to enjoy reading it as much as we enjoy putting it together.

All the best,
