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.

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.

Hamels made his first career opening day start in 2013 and is unlikely to be ready for the assignment this year. Hamels entered camp behind schedule after battling biceps soreness in November. He was told to stop throwing and halt his weightlifting program for the rest of the winter. On the mound, Hamels threw 35 pitches in his side session. "Very encouraging," manager Ryne Sandberg said. Although the Phillies expect Hamels to be ready at some point in April, they are not going to push him in an effort to get him to the mound on opening day or the first week of the season. "If you do that with a guy, hes pressing to get ready ffor one, and thats the last thing we want to do," pitching coach Bob McClure said.dddddddddddd. "Two, if hes only up to 60 pitches or something like that, now youre going to tax your bullpen. I know hes anxious because he feels so good. But I think we kind of need to take a cautious road here." McClure said Hamels looked "really, really good" in his workout. The 30-year-old Hamels is in the second season since signing the most lucrative contract in Phillies history, a six-year deal worth $144 million. Hamels often pitched in bad luck last year, racking up just one win in the seasons first two months. But he had a 2.68 ERA in the seasons final three months and reached the 200-inning plateau for the fourth straight season. Hamels, the 2008 World Series MVP, finished at 8-14 with a 3.60 ERA in 33 starts. ' ' '
