Scot Scott Jamieson gave himself an early birthday treat superbly birdieing four of his closing five holes in a round of 66 on day one of the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa. Jamieson, who turns 37 on Saturday, grabbed seven birdies to be just a shot off the lead at Leopard Creek in Maleline. Frenchman Robin Roussel and Poland’s Adrian Meronk lead with co-sanctioned field with seven-under par 65s. Jamieson’s effort continues a good run of form for the Glaswegian who captured his only ...

Growing-up in Sydney meant the stunning sight of seeing the sun rise over the Pacific Ocean. Then in moving to live in Scotland I chose to live on the eastern shoreline of the country and enjoyed now seeing the sun rise up over the North Sea. And then in recent years, and in reporting on the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, we would spend the Christmas/New Year festive period in Florida and we found our way to places like West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and more recently, Port St. Lucie and ...

Next year, 2021, marks the 50th anniversary of the foundation of the Beacon Woods Golf Club located at Bayonet Point on Florida’s west coast. Beacon Woods is just under 20-miles north of the Innisbrook resort near Tarpon Springs and venue each year for the Valspar Championship. It was during the hosting of the 2018 Valspar Championship and won by England’s Paul Casey by a shot from Tiger Woods and Patrick Reed that I was fortunate to play Beacon Woods. Woods was playing the event for ...

Imagine the surprise for someone when you’re leisurely cruising down the road and you come to a town, a bridge, a building, a shop or whatever with your surname ‘up in lights’. It’s happened only a few times to myself in the course of covering the European and PGA Tour’s. There’s Maguires Castle at Enniskillen and just to the south of the town is the small village of Maguire’s Bridge both in Co, Fermanagh in Northern Ireland and a destination I’ve been ...
