.… Albany, The Bahamas  It is an old expression, and it was an expression I recall double English-born World 500cc motor-bike champion Barry Sheene once used and that is ‘the people you pass on the way up, you ​​pass on the way back down’. It’s an expression one c​​ould use in all walks of life and Sheene drew on the phrase in describing a rival, who clearly was intent of caring little about those around him and focussed solely on riding his way to a championship title. Of course, ...

After the highly emotional scenes yesterday in Munich, new BMW International Open champ Dan Brown is ready to warmly congratulate the Tartan duo of Richie Ramsay and Grant Forrest in securing tee-times into this week’s Genesis Scottish Open. Brown’s highly-emotional second Tour success allowed both Ramsay and Forrest entry off the bench and into the $9m event later this week at the Renaissance Club in East Lothian. Forrest was first reserve but with Brown already exempt into the Scottish, Forrest ...

An emotional Daniel Brown has dedicated a second DPWT victory to the memory of a dear friend he lost last weekend. Brown tapped-in for birdie at the last in a closing round score of 66 for a two-shot winning tally at 22-under over fellow Englishman Jordan Smith to secure his second DP World Tour title. Brown won his maiden DP World Tour title at the 2023 ISPS Handa World Invitational and then shot to fame after leading after the first round of The Open in 2024 on route to finishing T10th at Royal ...

Bernie McGuire, Munich …   The Tartan duo of Grant Forrest and Richie Ramsay were thinking of breaking out the bubbly to help celebrate Englishman Daniel Brown’s BMW International Open victory in Munich. Brown’s final round 66 for a winning 22-under-par tally earned the 30-year-old a second Tour win while it opened the door on both Ramsay and Forrest to secure the last two automatic qualifying places into Thursday’s starting Genesis Scottish Open. Brown denied fellow Englishman Jordan ...

Bernie McGuire, Munich, Germany Scottish golfer Richie Ramsay is staring at a bizarre scenario in travelling close to 4,000 miles to compete on the PGA Tour next week in suburban Louisville, Kentucky but then learn he’s secured entry into the DP World Tour’s Genesis Scottish Open just a short drive from his Scottish residence. Ramsay is currently not exempt into next week’s $9m premier Scottish event but with a family USA holiday being planned for the week of the Open Championship, ...

Ewen Ferguson’s Scottish Open aspirations have taken a knock despite a super second round bogey-free effort only to miss the cut in the defence of his BMW International Open title in Munich. After a 90-minute delay due to an early morning thunderstorm, Ferguson headed into day two after signing for an opening 75 and then produced four second round birdies and looking to birdie the last but he looked-up on in dismay when his birdie attempt at his final hole lipped out in a four-under 68 for a ...

It’s the only Asian Tour event this year that is being played in his continent, and Zimbabwean Scottie Vincent is making sure he has plenty of say in how the US$2 million International Series Morocco leaderboard shapes up during the weekend. Vincent closed with a disappointing three-putt bogey on his final hole on Friday at the par-73 Royal Golf of Dar Es Salam course, but he had done enough good work before that to shoot a seven-under par 66 and jump to the top of the leaderboard at nine-under ...

Bernie McGuire, BMW International Open, Munich…. This week is a first occasion Smith has played alongside Europe’s current double Ryder Cup captain since late 2022 when they were grouped, along with Scot Ewen Ferguson, for the opening round of the 2022 Nedbank Challenge in South Africa. It’s a encounter that Smith vividly remembers but not for all the right reaasons. Donald, as the then 2023 European Team Captain, posted an opening 65 to be straight into lying second while Smith ...
