Some of the revelant points of the document include: The possibility of Tiger Woods and Rory ...

McIntyre Produces Career Best Opener In Denmark

Top Scot Robert MacIntyre brilliantly timley reminded everyone of his credentials producing a career lowest opening score at the Made in Himmerland. MacIntyre superbly battled the bruising conditions to be soaring two shots clear of the field with eight birdies in a six-under par 64 on the host Farso course in Denmark. His first day effort is MacIntyre’s lowest opener by a shot in a combined 133 DP World Tour and secondary Challenge Tour events going back to his tour debut in 2016. As well, MacIntyre’s ...

Hill’s Agony In Missing Out On Open Tee Time By A Shot At The Belfry

Scotland’s Calum Hill still has two chances of earning a maiden Open Championshaip tee-time despite the bitter disappointment missing out by just one stroke at the close of the Betfred British Masters at The Belfry. It was a long anxious wait for Hill after brilliantly eagling the short par-four 10th but then dropping a shot at the last to end his round of 69 to be then sharing third place at seven-under-par with fellow Scot Ewen Ferguson and Justin Rose. Still on the course was England’s ...

Baltusrol – Venue For KPMG PGA Named In Honour Of A Murdered Dutch Farmer

The reason for the naming of a new golf course is not all that difficult to fathom. Golf courses are mostly named in honour of their location, such as Irish gems Ballybunion, Old Head and Ballyliffin while there’s Long Reef in my beloved Sydney, as well as, the likes of famed Royal Melbourne and the stunning New South Wales club. My home course at Crail in Scotland boasts two courses – the Balcomie Links and the Craighead Links but not named after the village.  In fact, the Tom Morris ...

McGuire: Maguire’s Odd Slashed For Tour’s Third Major

Double LPGA winning Leona Maguire has seen her betting odds slashed for this week’s KPMG PGA Championship in New Jersey. This is on the back of Maguire’s stunning second Tour victory, Sunday at the Meijer LPGA Classic in Michigan. The 28-year-old posted a closing round 64 for a two-shot success, and some 16-months after her breakthrough Tour victory earlier last year. And on both occasions, the quietly-spoken K. Club attached golfer has done it silencing two of the big names in women’s pro ...
