Scott Jamieson surely can’t feel hard done by after heavy rain washed-out the final round of the 114th Investec South African Open in Durban. Jamieson had ended his third round late Saturday sharing ninth place at 10-under but with still a handful of golfers to complete their rounds due to darkness on the host Durban Country Club course. Among those still to complete his third round was South African Dylan Naidoo, 27-year-old, Joburg-born, current World No. 466 who had won twice on the Sunshine ...

No offence to Bob MacIntyre but it was of the one of the great snaps in the lead-up to the 44th Ryder Cup week and that was the photograph taken of the champion Scot in his hotel room decked-out in European Ryder Cup theme pyjamas.

The Bathgate pro already this year has found himself playing where he can, having forfeited full DP World Tour membership at the end of 2022 in not being fully exempt since a first full season in 1999. However, ...

Had it not been for Rory McIlroy hitting the cup with his birdie attempt on the final green the golf world would not have been kept in wait with DP World Tour news of the draw for the third round of the $US 9m Hero Dubai Desert Classic. McIlroy’s eventual 36th hole closing par, officially judged to be 11 inches, handed him a second round 70 for an eight-under tally on the Emirates Club course. The World No. 1 headed to the scorer’s hut at the back of the 18th tee, and located underneath the new ...
