The defending champion, however, saw where the R&A were coming from, and understood the need to slow down the bumper scoring with more than a few pins that were almost impossible to attack. Week 11 was a continuation of steady improvement for a defense that was much-maligned earlier this season. Over the past four games - all wins - defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo's group have given up just 11.8 points per game and held every opponent under 20 points. Kansas City were giving up an average of 29 points per game during the first seven weeks of the season. Now we need to see if that defensive form holds when it really matters. Neither of these fears were realised. The 149th edition of golf's oldest and most prestigious Championship went as smoothly as the tournament organisers could have hoped for. Restrictions were tight, well-managed and observed to the max by players, fans, officials and volunteers. The R&A deserve huge credit for their efforts, not just this week, but for the best part of 18 months. Wallin's promoter Dmitriy Salita has called on the WBC to reschedule the fight, with the Swedish contender hoping that victory could secure a rematch with Fury.Salita has toldSky Sports
