Jon Baker set a new course record at Prince's – Shore / Dunes. He went round in 83 gross, beating the previous mark of 85, a figure that had stood across nine prior visits to the layout. It was also his personal best there by two shots, improving on the 85 he carded in TEG 13. He arrived twelve strokes better than his last visit to the course.

The record was built on a five-hole stretch from the 11th during which he did not drop a gross shot. There were birdies at the 12th and, remarkably, at the 13th, the hardest hole on the course. Across holes 12 to 15 he accumulated 14 stableford points. The run ended at the 16th with a double bogey. Later, at the last, a quadruple-bogey 8 crept quietly onto the card, as if hoping nobody would check. Somebody checked. Neither blemish dented the outcome. The 83 stands as the new benchmark for the course.

Jon Baker finished the 2021 TEG 14 Wooden Spoon in last place by twelve points. The final afternoon at Prince's - Shore/Dunes produced the best golf of his four days. Having managed 28 stableford points in round three, he returned 39 in round four. An eleven-point swing, and his best round of the tournament. The round included an 8 at the 18th, a quadruple bogey inserted into the proceedings like a man signing off with a shrug. It was still a personal best on the course this TEG, beating his previous best gross there by two shots and improving twelve strokes on his last visit to Prince's. The form mattered further up the leaderboard too. Baker's charge cut his deficit in the TEG 14 Green Jacket race from a high of fifteen points down to seven behind David Mullin, who remained in front throughout. It did nothing whatsoever at the other end. He closed the tournament bottom of the Wooden Spoon table, twelve points adrift of the next player. Some men peak too late. Baker peaked at the wrong end of the table entirely.
