Of course, ...

Justin Rose admitted he was “gutted” and “choking back tears” after finishing joint runner-up in the 152nd Open Championship at Royal Troon. Rose, who turns 44 later this month, collected a fourth second place finish at the game’s highest level since capturing the 2013 US Open. Not even a brilliant 72nd hole birdie, and that Rose celebrated in proudly raising a punched fist, was good enough for the affable Englishman in losing out by two shots to American Xander Schauffele ...

Victory in the Bavarian capital superbly secured his place in next week’s 152nd Open Championship field, and joining top-ranked Robert MacIntyre, Jack MacDonald and amateur Calum ...

Scot Ewen Ferguson brushed on-going health issues to take straight to the overtaking lane to be just one shot from the front heading to the second round of the BMW International Open in Munich. Ferguson, 27, grabbed seven birdies in a five-under 67 amid bright but very breezy conditions on the host Munich Club Eichenried course in the Bavaian capital. It handed the now Dubai-based Scot a fourway share of second and just a shot adrift of Aussie David Micheluzzy who birdied his closing two holes in ...
