How good is Leona Maguire? In her 10 Solheim Cup matches, commencing from her rookie appearance in 2021, the now 28-year-old rish golfing wonder has earned Europe 8.5 points. After Europe was white-washed 0-4 in the opening series of matches on Friday at Finca Cortesin it was Maguire’s seven birdie haul two days later in her 4 & 3 white-wash over USA rival Rose Zhang in the second Sunday Singles match that helped inspire Europe to retain the gleaming Solheim Cup. Magnificent Maguire strikes ...

Ryder Cup rookie Robert MacIntyre was wasting little time leaving Versailles after a most disappointing display at the Cazoo French Open. The top-ranked Scot was the only member of Luke Donald’s European Team to enter the prestigious DP World Tour event on the outskirts of Versailles but unlike the visit to the city by King Charles and Queen Camilla, there was no fanfare for MacIntyre as his visit turned horribly pear-shape posting disappointing scores of 71 and 77 for a six-over-par tally, ...

Ryder Cup rookie Bob MacIntyre gestured to hurl his putter into the drink after a frustrating opening round at the Cazoo French Open in Versailles. MacIntyre, and the lone Rome player in the French field, posted a no-frills level-par 71 to be well outside the top-70 heading the second round on the Le National course. The Scottish lefty got off to a good start with three birdies in his opening six holes, including holing a 21-footer for birdie at the first, but he then proceeded to give the three ...

Scottish teenage sensation Connor Graham excitedly jets out to Rome on Friday with his Junior Ryder Cup team-mates looking forward to ending a six straight and now 17-year long European losing streak to their American rivals. Graham, who turns 17 at the end of next month, wound-up his Rome preparations sharing 22nd place after receiving an invitation to contest the Tartan Tour’s St. Andrews Classic but ending in bright and extremely windy third and final round conditions on the Jubilee Course at ...

All of Scotland breathed a sigh of relief after Robert MacIntyre holed a nerve-tingling final hole par putt to make the cut right on the mark at the Omega European Masters at Crans Montana. MacIntyre’s effort in posting a second round 69 and finishing in a share of 62nd, and making the cut-off right on the mark at three-under has kept alive, albeit agonizingly, his quest to secure the last automatic spot into the European Ryder Cup team. MacIntyre had missed the cut in his prior two Swiss appearances ...

“Yes, he’s my brother but he deserves a (USA) Ryder Cup pick!” The defiant words of Chase Koepka, the younger brother of reigning PGA Championship champion Brooks Koepka. Chase is some four years younger than his also four-time major winning brother, and naturally wants to see him announced tomorrow (Tuesday) by USA captain Zach Johnson who will be in PGA of America HQ in Texas to confirm his full 12-man team ahead of next month’s Rome showdown. The LIV Golf attached Brooks had been among ...

Asian Tour Commissioner Cho Minn Thant has sung the praise in creating history by bringing two Tour events to England and Scotland. The Tour proudly hosted the International Series England last fortnight at Close House in north-eastern England and last week we saw the Asian Tour flags flying high over the Torrance course at the Fairmont Resort, and located just a few miles from the famed Old Course at St. Andrews. The Home of Golf was blessed with warm, near windless conditions, and while there was ...
