Australian Adam Scott made a 9-foot birdie putt on the 18th to force a playoff, then made a 48-footer playing it again on the third playoff hole to beat Ryan Moore in the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. On a cool and blustery final day Moore had shot a fine round of 68 to eliminate Scott's three stroke overnight advantage. With the win Scott moves up to world number 5, a jump of 5 positions, while Moore improves his world ranking by 37 positions to 72nd.

Darren Clarke won his first European Tour Tournament since 2003 as he claimed the BMW Asian Open, co-sanctioned with the Asian Tour, on his first competitive visit to China. Clarke and final day playing partner Robert-Jan Derksen tussled for the title throughout the final round, Clarke winning by a stroke with a thirty foot birdie putt on the 72nd hole. Clarke climbs 124 places up the Official World Golf Ranking to 112th.

Hur Suk-ho from Korea won the Tsuruya Open on the Japan Golf Tour by a single stroke from compatriot Kim Kyung-Tae and climbs 93 places to world number 206.

This week's other winners were Greg Chalmers at the Henrico County Open on the Nationwide Tour, Joakim Haeggman at the AGF-Allianz Open Côtes d'Armour Bretagne on the European Challenge Tour and John Ellis at the Corona Mazatlan Mexican PGA Championship on the Canadian 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.
