Oliver Wilson is hoping to take inspiration from the home crowds during the British Masters at The Grove this weekend. The 2014 Dunhill Links Championship winner is one of a number of Brits appearing on home soil at the tournament, which is being hosted by Luke Donald and supported by Sky Sports. Wilson says is relishing the opportunity to play in front of British fans and is keen to draw on the extra support from the galleries. The European Tour moves to the Grove in Hertfordshire this week for the British Masters. Luke Donald hosts the tournament and well be there all week It is like a little major, really. Being at home, the British Masters is a great tournament, it has always been, it is great that it has come back, Wilson told Sky Sports News HQ.And the fact that it is not too far from home for me is fantastic so it is nice anytime you can have a tournament where you have got friends and family who come and support, the English crowds, it is brilliant. It is a great place to be. The Grove is always nice and it is a fantastic week. A win would be incredible and very special. The state of my game is not great at the moment, it has been improving - I need to play well this week and next week and hopefully the home soil and British crowds can inspire me a little to find some form.Whenever you can be at home, stay in your own bed, play a course you are relatively familiar with, it is perfect. If you could do that every week it would be brilliant. Wilson celebrates after winning the 2014 Dunhill Links Championship Huge crowds are expected at the event, with 20,000 tickets sold for the first day of play, and Wilson says that backing can make a huge difference to players out on the course. Even if youre not on a good golf course and the weather is not great, if youve got massive crowds it just makes it so much more special, and the atmosphere for the players - it feels like a big event no matter what it is.

This week they discuss their best of the year. Bruce Arthur, National Post: My thumb is up to the end of the NHL lockout. After months of labour war, wed spent a week freezing on some of the finest sidewalks New York had to offer, staking out meetings that produced nothing much. And then on Jan. 5 the NHL walked to the players hotel for what was described as an informal meeting, starting at one in the afternoon. It didnt stop. Midnight arrived, and the meeting kept going. At 4am I closed my eyes for 15 seconds and Aaron Ward took a picture. And finally, at five in the morning the news broke: Labour peace was at hand, and a voice exiting the room bellowed out, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. For ending something thats the opposite of sports, thats my moment of the year. Steve Simmons, SUN Media: My thumb is up to the least natural sporting emotion of 2013 - caring about the Davis Cup. Most of us couldnt tell you when the Davis Cup begins, when it ends, how the schedule works or who plays who, but Milos Raonic and Canadian tennis changed all that this past year. Suddenly we were pulled in by possibility, by Raonics huge first serve, by the fortitude of Vasek Pospisil, by the stoic veteran Daniel Nestor, all of them coming together in red and white as a team. Our team. They didnt win the Davis Cup but did what no Canadians had ever done before. They made the semi-finals. In a way it was the perfect Canadian ending: We played hard, we playyed great, we inspired, we just didnt win.dddddddddddd Michael Farber, Sports Illustrated: My thumb is up to the Iron Bowl, proof that one second can last for eternity. The improbable finish started with that single tick Alabama coach Nick Saban lobbied to have put back on the scoreboard. Rather than take his chances in overtime, Saban sent out a back-up kicker to attempt a quixotic 57-yard game-winning field goal. Auburns Chris Davis took the failed kick deep in the end zone and juked and then sprinted more than 100 yards - straight into the hard drive of memory. In-state rival Auburn deprived Alabama of a third straight national championship with Davis return while reminding us that sport is the grand unscripted drama of our lives. Dave Hodge, TSN: Well if that defied belief, my thumb is up to the current NFL season, which has done that… right from the start when Peyton Manning tossed seven touchdown passes, only to have Nick Foles of the Eagles do the same thing later on. Matt Prater broke a record with a 64-yard field goal at the end of the first half, but Justin Tuckers 61-yarder might have been more amazing, because it came at the end of the game. One week, the NFL set a record with 90 touchdowns. The next week, it set a record for one-day scoring with 763 points. Phillys LeSean McCoy rushed for 217 yards in the snow, and Kansas Citys Jamaal Charles, another running back, caught four passes for touchdowns. NFL stadiums have scoreboards, and the busier they are, the better the games tend to be - never truer than in 2013. ' ' '
