Johnson Wagner picked up his first PGA Tour victory at the Shell Houston Open with a final round of 71 to finish at 16 under par, two strokes ahead of Chad Campbell and Geoff Ogilvy. With the win Wagner earns a spot at the Masters Tournament and climbs 189 positions to World Number 124. Second placed Ogilvy moves up to World Number 5 and World Numbers 7 to 10, Jim Furyk, Adam Scott, Justin Rose and Vijay Singh are now remarkably separated by just 0.02 average points.

Gregory Bourdy won his second European Tour title within six months as he secured the Estoril Open de Portugal at the third extra hole of a play-off with David Howell and Alistair Forsyth after the trio had tied on 18-under-par totals of 266. Bourdy had lead from day one but his overnight four-stroke lead had gone after his front nine. He fought bravely for a four-under-par back nine to join Howell, who shot a best of day 64 and Forsyth, who birdied the last two holes, in the play-off. Bourdy breaks into the World Top 100 with an jump of 69 places to World Number 97.

This week's other winners were Aron Price at the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship on the Nationwide Tour, Angelo Que at the Philippine Open on the Asian Tour and Antti Ahokas, from Finland, at the 103 Abierto VISA de la Republica in Argentina on the Challenge Tour.

Since its launch in 1997, Golf International has forged a reputation as the standout quality title in golf publishing. The caliber of columnists, writers, players and coaches is unrivalled, while the design and layout of the magazine separates it still further from the competition. In a congested market wrought with mediocrity, Golf International appeals to committed golfers who are as serious about their game as we are about ours.

The ethos behind Golf International is simple: our aim is to entertain, inform and educate our readers with a wide range of fresh and original editorial. Peter Alliss, Ian Wooldridge, Colin Callander, Tom Cox, Paul Mahoney, Clive Agran and John Huggan are listed among our regular columnists. Other notable contributors include Paul Trow and David Davies. We are particularly proud of our association with the teaching staff of the DLGA, who, under the guidance of the world’s No.1 coach – David Leadbetter – provide some of the finest instruction you will find anywhere. Monty’s coach, Denis Pugh, is another regular contributor, as is leading European Tour coach, Peter Cowen, and one of the world’s most innovative instructors, Robert Baker. The popular Senior Tour player, Tony Johnstone, has also made Golf International his literary home.

With the generous and on-going support of Volvo Car UK, we are committed to developing our Amateur pages, featuring regular profiles, interviews and tournament news from both the men’s and women’s amateur game. Another innovation has been our Business pages, which provide the magazine with a unique angle on business-related stories, along with regular features from our resident experts on golfing memorabilia (Kevin McGimpsey), betting (Jeremy Chapman) and motoring (Anthony ffrench-Constant). We hope you enjoy the magazine and invite you to be a part of our continued success.

With a new distribution partner – Comag – in place from the August ’06 issue (and already delivering a significant increase in newsstand sales), we will be raising our game in the retail sector while at the same time consolidating our position as the premium title in the air and selected-sponsorship sectors.
