Top-ranked Scot Robert MacIntyre heads to this week’s season-ender in Dubai just four rounds shy of being honoured with the prestigious European Tour ‘Rookie of the Year’ award after a gallant final round at the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa. The Oban lefty picked-up 13 spots in muscling his way to a share of eighth-place courtesy of a closing round 68 in continuing heatwave conditions at Sun City. England’s Tommy Fleetwood broke out in tears in ending a 22-month victory drought to ...

Australia’s Scott Hend did not know it at the time but his 72nd hole birdie at the Nedbank Challenge was good enough to secure the 50th and very last place into this week’s ultra-lucrative European Tour season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Hend, 46 teed-up at Sun City lying 46th on the Race to Dubai rankings but must have been thinking the worst after opening rounds of 77 and 73 but then the Queensland-born golfer was surely grateful for the ‘no cut’ format in ...
