Sky Sports commentator Richard Kaufman looks back at the weeks European Tour and PGA Tour action, where it was the putting from golfs old guard which left him most impressed.Last week after the Maybank Championship Malaysia, my attention was focused on a couple of youngsters who took the eye. This week, its the golden oldies!Peter Senior teed it up for the first time this season at the Perth International. Struck by a virus, he was unable to play any of the early events on the Champions Tour and so he arrived at Lake Karrinyup in Western Australia about to try something in competition he hadnt used in 29 years - a short putter! Peter Senior once again rolled back the years on the European Tour After three decades of sticking that broomhandle putter up against his chin, a style that brought him reward even as late as November 2015 when he remarkably won the Australian Masters, he was heading into the unknown.As Adam Scott managed to show in Florida at the weekend, what was all the fuss about? So well did Peter Senior putt he actually said after his third round, when he came home in a six-under-par 30, he wondered why he never changed to the short putter earlier!Senior finished inside the top-10 and was fifth in the putts per round statistics, taking on average 28.5 putts on tricky, sloping, fast greens. Vijay Singh posted his best PGA Tour finish since 2013 at PGA National It was interesting to note while Adam Scott took the spoils in Florida, another of the over 50s brigade who also liked to anchor, Vijay Singh, also managed to finish in the top-10. It makes you wonder if the anchoring ban might have done one or two players a favour.Its fair to say if there has been any weakness in the Louis Oosthuizen armoury, its been with the putter, especially over those four to five footers. Louis Oosthuizen claimed a one-shot win ahead of Alexander Levy in Perth Adopting the claw grip, he looked rock solid all week. Hes such a joy to watch when hes swinging the club, I find it remarkable that a player of that talent hadnt won outside of South Africa until Sunday since 2012! Now that his putting looks solid, dont be surprised if he wins for the first time this season on the PGA Tour.Oosthuizen is off to Doral this week for the first of the WGC events. Itll be a week of watching Sky Sports for me, before returning with two more co-sanctioned events in Thailand and India.Watch the WGC-Cadillac Championship throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

In the lead up - which seemed to begin the moment Mike Geiger blew the whistle in Houston last Thursday night - the Impact rumour mill went into overdrive. The speculation went into meltdown mode, of the golden nugget variety. Adidas NMD Ale . Thousands of Southern California fans enveloped the Trojans to celebrate an improbable win secured by an interim coach, an inconsistent kicker and a thin defence that wouldnt break. http://www.nmdhalvalla.com/ .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. Adidas Gazelle Kengät . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action. Adidas NMD Halvalla . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- Lewis Hamilton won a comfortable Mexican Grand Prix ahead of Nico Rosberg, who did all he had to do to remain in control of his own destiny in the championship fight.Hamiltons win cut the gap to Rosberg to 19 points in the standings, but with just two races left, victory for Rosberg at the next round in Brazil would secure him the title. Hamiltons victory only once looked under threat as he locked up at Turn 1 on the first lap. He later explained it was due to a low temperature on his right front brake and he escaped penalty for skipping Turn 2 entirely.? ?After a weekend of struggling behind the wheel of his Mercedes, Rosbergs second place could prove to be a defining result in the tale of this years title if he takes his maiden championship. He twice came under attack from Max Verstappen -- on the first lap at Turn 2 and again at Turn 4 on lap 50 -- but both times resisted the attack from the Red Bull to retain second place. The second time saw Verstappen momentarily ahead before locking up and running wide as Rosberg stuck to the racing line.After Verstappens second move on Rosberg failed, Sebastian Vettel in the Ferrari started to close in on the Red Bull driver. Vettel had led part of the race with a long first stint on the soft tyres and that meant his second set of tyres were 20 laps younger than Verstappens at the end of the race. The Ferrari caught Verstappen with four laps remaining, but as he attempted a move at Turn 1 the Red Bull locked up and continued straight over the run off area. By cutting Turn 2, Verstappen held the position ahead of Vettel, but even after being told by his team to move aside for the Ferrari he continued at full pace.Following the race, Verstappen was immediately penalised five seconds, promoting Vettel to third and dropping Verstappen to fifth. In a bizarre turn of events, Verstappen had already pulled into the podium area in the stadium section before the penalty was confirmed, but was told to leave the podium green room soon after as Vettel was brought back from the paddock to take his rightful place on the third step.Vettel had been irate about the situation in the closing laps of the racce and screamed over his team radio to ask FIA race director Charlie Whiting to make Verstappen move over.dddddddddddd When his race engineer tried to tell him the incident would be investigated after the race by saying Charlie said..., he was cut off by Vettel yelling: Yeah?! Heres a message to Charlie! F--- off! F--- off!Vettels anger had intensified when Verstappen, still in third place, backed him into his Red Bull teammate Daniel Ricciardo in fifth, allowing Ricciardo to attempt a pass at Turn 4 on the penultimate lap. Vettel was having none of it however, and moved to block the inside, with both cars front wheels locked up as they arrived at the apex. Vettel just managed to retain enough momentum to hold the position around the outside, which ultimately turned out to be enough to take third place when the Verstappen penalty was applied.?The story continued after the race, as Vettel was investigated for the Ricciardo incident. The stewards eventually handed Vettel a ten-second penalty, dropping him behind both Red Bull drivers, meaning it was actually Ricciardo who finished on the final step of the podium.?Away from the frontBehind the drama for the final podium place, Kimi Raikkonen snatched sixth place from Nico Hulkenberg in the closing stages. Raikkonen was on a two-stop strategy compared to the one-stop adopted by most of the top ten, which dropped him from fifth to seventh before he fought back to finish sixth. As the Ferrari driver passed Hulkenberg, the Force India spun through 180 degrees, but with Valtteri Bottas another six seconds down the road Hulkenberg was able to hold on to seventh.The Williamses of Bottas and Felipe Massa finished eighth and ninth ahead of Sergio Perez in the final points position for Force India. Ericsson deserves an honourable mention for working his way back through the field from his first corner collision to finish just outside the points in 11th and ahead of the two McLarens.The next round takes place in Brazil in two weeks time, with the title still very much in Rosbergs hands.
