Jon Rahm was wondering ‘what the hell’ when hit by his own divot during the second round of the Acciona Spanish Open in Madrid.

The US-based Spaniard, who’s also competing for a first time since helping steer Europe to victory in the Ryder Cup, looked ...

Lone Scot David Drysdale brilliantly lit-up the opening round of the Asian Tour’s SJM Macao Open to share the lead with a bogey-free nine-under 62.
