McIlroy produced six birdies in a four-under 67 to be right in the closing weeeknd mix at five-under and just four shots adrift of Sunjae Im and with Tommy Fleetwood at eight-under and the ...

Englishman Chris Wood looks to be the player to contend with heading to the weekend rounds of the Italian Challenge Open. American Jhared Hack carded a bogey-free six under par round of 66 to maintain his four-stroke lead at Golf Nazionale and picking-up from where he left off on Thursday to reach 16 under for the week, four shots ahead of Wood, who had earlier set the clubhouse lead following an eight under par round of 64. Hack came into the week knowing a top ten would see him through to next ...

After competing the last six months or so in some 10 different non-European countries Scotland’s David Law expressed his immense delight at being back in Europe, and a hopeful success in Barcelona, Spain.

The Aberdonian had arrived in Barcelona ...

 Thailand’s Tawit Polthai is ever-keen to turn-up the heat on his rivals heading to the weekend rounds of the Asian Tour’s US$500,000 Taiwan Glass Taifong Open.

Having learned his lessons, a much better hydrated Tawit kept the pedal to the metal and added ...

You would be hard pressed to count the number of times in his career Rory McIlroy has posted a round of golf without a single birdie. And for 17 holes of the opening round of the weather-affected Truist Championship that is what is looked like for the double Masters champion. Returning to competition for a first time since his glorious Augusta National back-to-back success, McIlroy stood on his 18th tee not having posted one birdie on the Quail Hollow course where in 2010 he secured the first of ...

The Scottish duo of Ewen Ferguson and David Law superbly honoured the 15th anniversary of the passing of legendary Seve Ballesteros each posting seven-under 65s to be tied second on the opening day of the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship on the host El Prat course in Barcelona. The Scots share second with Frenchman Alex Levy and trailing just a stroke shy of South African Shaun Norris leading at eight-under Ferguson continues to knock loudly on a fourth victory door, capping his effort with ...

Pablo Larrazabal naturally wished so much to capture the 2011 Open de Espania at the host El Prat in Barcelona.
