@lovelivegolf.bsky.socialBAKER’S YEAR HAD EVERYTHING
Eliot Baker ends 2026 as the first Men’s European Amateur Order of Merit winner: Sotogrande record, Walker Cup comeback, DP World Tour top-15 as an amateur. Quite the collection.
@lovelivegolf.bsky.socialEUROPE'S FIRST ORDER OF MERIT CHAMPION
Charlotte Naughton has topped the inaugural women's amateur standings by more than 500 points.
She's 18, already a European champion and heading to Texas in 2027. Quite a year for the Longhirst Hall golfer.
@lovelivegolf.bsky.socialCOSBY FOUND THE NARROWEST WAY TO WIN
Four shots behind overnight, level after 36 holes and champions on countback. Cosby’s Burrows and the Plants have their first English Men’s Champion Club title — and a trip to Europe.
@lovelivegolf.bsky.socialLINDGREN’S LEAD SHRANK. HE DIDN’T.
Fredrik Lindgren saw a three-shot advantage cut to one, then found the shots he needed to win by three at the Hotchkin.
@lovelivegolf.bsky.socialBERLIN JUST OPENED A BIGGER DOOR
Max Hopkins held on by one at the Bernhard Langer International Amateur. His reward: a 2027 BMW International Open start.
@lovelivegolf.bsky.socialONE EXTRA HOLE. ONE 24-FOOT PUTT.
Aase forced the play-off with a 30-footer. George Whitehead then birdied the first extra hole to win the Spanish U18 Championship.
@lovelivegolf.bsky.socialLAHINCH SAVED ITS BIGGEST SWING FOR LAST
GB&I were two points down in the singles before winning the final three matches. They lead the USA 6½-5½ heading into Sunday.
