Top-ranked Scot Bob MacIntyre revealed he’s ‘working with someone back home’ to help curb his on-course unruly behaviour. Much has been written of the events during the opening round of last week’ Masters when the Oban leafy lost the plot during an embarrassing first day’s play in the 90th hosting of the Masters. MacIntyre was teeing-up in only a fourth appearance at Augusta National and coming off going so close a week earlier to victory at the Valero Texas Open. As ...

Four days post the year’s first major championship and it was a tale of two Swedes – Ludwig Aberg and Henrik Stenson. Aberg the exciting 26-year-old once again continues to stamp his presence as one of the more exciting golfers in recent years to join the professional game. Aberg already has five wins in his pro career, including two on the PGA Tour and the Florida-based Swede brilliantly ignited hopes of a third after a sizzling eight birdie 63 to kick start this week’s RBC Heritage ...

Triple major winning Padraig Harrington reckons fellow Irishman Rory McIlroy could go onto to capture 10 Masters green jackets following his second straight success last Sunday at Augusta National. Harrington was naturally delighted for McIlroy not only successfully defending at Augusta National but also securing a sixth Major Championship title. Harrington created his own slice of golfing history becoming the then 16th player in 2007 and 2008 to capture back-to-back Open Championships, a first Carnoustie ...

Henrik Stenson turned 50 on the fifth day of April and his inaugural seniors event cannot get any better than teeing-up in the April 16th Seniors PGA Championship in Florida. Stenson was born in Gothenberg.  He got introduced to golf at age 12.   He capped his amateur career winning the 1996 Italian Amateur title. Two years later he turned pro and then after three years in the play-for-pay ranks Stenson earned the first of what would be 22 pro career victories capped by a memorable final 18 holes ...

There’s the ole story of the No. 272 bus … you wait ages for the bus to arrive and then when it does, two arrive at the same time. Rory McIlroy waited all of 17-years for a maiden Masters title and despite an indifferent Augusta third round 73, who’s to say the Northern Irishman still can’t be aboard for an historic repeat victory journey a year on. McIlroy teed off in the third round carrying an six-shot lead after blistering rounds of 67 and 65. He looked untouchable. Though ...

In only his fifth Augusta National appearance, and also a year after missing the halfway cut and Cameron Young is 18 holes shy of being crowned the 202​6 Masters champion. Young superbly emerged from an indifferent opening round of 73 to produce scores of 67 and 65 to head to the clubhouse leading the 90th hosting of the Masters at 11-under. At day’s end, the New York born Young found himself tied at 11-under with defending champion Rory McIlroy. McIlroy had taken a Masters record-setting ...
