Just a few week’s into a New Year and Patrick Reed continues to be the present hottest player on the planet. A fortnight ago, Reed captured the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and then last Sunday he put himself into a play-off for the Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship. The Texan is now just 18 holes shy of becoming the first American to win the Qatar Masters. Reed has led the 29th hosting of the event since day one and he now enjoys a two-shot lead heading into the final round on the host Doha ...

A frustrated Patrick Reed remains the player to beat heading to the weekend rounds of CB Qatar Masters. Reed added a second round 67 to his opening 65, moving to 12-under and a shot clear of the field competing on the Doha Golf Club course in the Qatar capital. The past Masters champion arrived having captured the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and it should have been back-to-back wins in losing out in a play-off at last week’s Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship. Reed is making his debut in the ...

Ewen Ferguson superbly boosted hopes of a double Doha victory delight heading to the weekend rounds of the CB Qatar Masters.   Ferguson grabbed eight birdies in a six-under 66 to be sharing fifth place at nine-under, and just three off the pace as the Scot seeks a repeat of his maiden Tour win four years ago.   The Dubai-based Scot was out from the 10th tee picking-up birdies at the 13th and 16th holes ahead of a bogey at 17.   He then birdied the first hole ahead of draining a 12-footer birdie ...

England’s Chris Wood will happy to learn he continues to lead the MENA Tour money-list race after his disappointing opening round at the CB Qatar Masters on the DP World Tour. Instead of teeing-up in Cairo, Wood was again afforded an invitation to contest the Qatar Masters on the back of his maiden DP World Tour win in the 2013 event in Doha. However, a struggling opening round 77 was not what the recent two-time winning MENA Tour champion was expecting. In Wood’s absence in Egypt it ...

Patrick Reed continues his golfing desert storm to be sharing the lead on day one of the Commerial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha. Four days after going to so close to back-to-back DP World Tour victories and Reed posted nine birdies in a seven-under 65 to be tied for the lead with also in-form Kiwi Daniel Hillier. Reed was out in the morning half of the draw, teeing-off from the 10th and quickly highlighting his round with a starting trio of birdies and while he bogeyed the 14th, the Texan bounced back ...

The annual hosting of the CB Qatar Masters always brings back a great story I have from my maiden visit to the tournament in 1999, and the then second hosting of the prestigious DP World Tour event. Though I must say in writing this story, I still don’t what kept me away from being present at the inaugural 1998 Qatar Masters, won by Scotland’s Andrew Coltart. It was a double celebration for the affable Scot who awoke in Doha on the Sunday morning with confirmation from far off Australia ...

Wales’s Owen Edwards posted a scorching seven-under par 63 to join overnight leader Juan Salama at the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round of the Egypt Golf Series Madinaty. Edwards, who started the day seven shots behind Salama, produced the round of the day at Madinaty Golf Club to set up a thrilling conclusion to the Egypt swing finale. The Welshman was steady through his opening stretch before catching fire on his back nine –  the front nine on the scorecard – where ...
