Look at the line…

[Cooking with Sanchez]

Oh, Harvey!

[oche balboa]

Table has been updated after Missouri St. Patrick's Open at the weekend. Not much has changed in the Mens table.

Kevin Luke has jumped from 37 to 32nd in the table and now is in an automatic qualifying position.

[The Thorn]

Kevin Luke is a decent player but there are many better from North America

Just my opinion
