Scotland’s Scott Jamieson again showed a fondness for his ‘special’ event of the year in posting a 68 on the opening day of the Alfred Dunhill Championship at Malelane in South Africa. Jamieson grabbed six birdies, three on each nine, in a four under score in hot and mostly blustery conditions on the Leopard Creek course located on the edge of the famed Kruger National Park and some 250-miles east of the capital Johannesburg. South African Dean Burmester birdied his closing two ...

European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald could not be happier. There has been three months of qualifying for the 2023 European Ryder Cup side and those who will be the expected cornerstones of Donald’s Rome side are winners. They include six players who also were on the 2021 losing European Team side that competed at Whistling Straits. Shane Lowry was the first to win in the 12-month 2022/23 qualifying period capturing the opening event with victory over Rory McIlroy in the BMW PGA Championship at ...

  .. Albany, The Bahamas.​ ​“Any chance I can also get a hug?” A very brave question to Shane Lowry soon after he left a scorer’s hut for a final occasion this year and also after he presented signed golf​ balls,​ as is customary, to the walking scorer and marker, ​ahead of ​embrac​ing​​ waiting manager Brian Moran. Lowry then made his way in my direction, and like the good journalist I ensured he had to pass by me to get to the clubhouse. It’s when I bravely asked ...

.. Albany, The Bahamas  The appearance of a carton of beer in the fridge of the Hero World Challenge media centre reminded me of Richie Fowler. Let me explain. American Kevin Kisner celebrated just a second PGA Tour ace in his career in holing out, using a 6-iron at the par-3 12th hole on day three of the Hero World Challenge. There was no brand new Hero motor-bike nor the keys to a luxury Albany apartment but just the honour on the next tee, on route to Kisner posting a 77 and slump to a share ...

... Albany, The Bahamas  ​For a second occasion in a few days, Tiger Woods has singled out Rory McIlroy for special praise. First Woods was very complimentary of McIlroy’s leadership qualities in taking the PGA Tour fight virtually single-handedly to LIV Golf and now on day three of the Hero World Challenge, Woods has singled out McIlroy’s swing. Woods, who withdrew from teeing-up in the tournament he hosts, was speaking with NBC Golf during their coverage here from the Albany course ...

… Albany, The Bahamas Don’t get in Shane Lowry’s way come Sunday afternoon as he walks off the 18th hole of the Albany course here in the Bahamas. Lowry already has his bags packed and just needs to pack-up his golf attire and clubs ahead of making his way to nearby Lynden Pindling International Airport. With just one round remaining of a 13th season, Lowry is so much-looking forward to a four-week competition break. Lowry was all smiles in holing a 10-foot birdie putt at the last and ...

... Albany, The Bahamas  Shane Lowry continues to run on the smell of an oily rag and again evident on day two of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Lowry struggled in the bright but very windy conditions managing just four birdies but signing for a scoreboard also showing four bogeys, a 5th hole double-bogey and a 6th hole triple-bogey in his round of 77 to be at seven-over and bottom of the board in the no-cut, 20-player field. He was two-over for his second round after two holes, six-over ...
