It’s Not McIlroy That Leads But Mulroy.
It’s not World No. 1 Rory McIlroy leading the field in the BMW Italian Open but World No. 222 Garth Mulroy of South Africa.
The 29-year old came from a shot behind heading into the third round to be leading by one going to the last day.
Last November’s Alfred Dunhill Championship winner posted seven birdies and only his second bogey of the week in moving to 17 under par at Royal Park I Roveri.
But hot on the heels of the affable Springbok golfer is a trio of Spaniards.

If there is one photograph that reminds the golf world of Italy’s affable Costantino Rocca then it’s the shot taken on the final day of the 1995 Open Championship at St. Andrews.

Rory McIlroy’s Painful Four Minutes Dealing With Bumbling, Mindless Jimmy Fallon.
Why do leading celebrities allow themselves to be put through the ringer by agreeing to be a guest on such garbage television shows like the Jimmy Fallon Late Night Show.

Of course, it’s good exposure for the World No. 1.
Regrettably, Fallon’s ...

Paul Lawrie & Fellow Aberdonian Tom Bendelow Share A Medinah Connection.
If Paul Lawrie needs any inspiration competing in this month’s Ryder Cup then he’ll have an abundance on a golf course designed by a fellow Aberdonian Tom Bendelow.
Bendelow is credited with having designed some 600 courses in a 35-year span.
However Bendelow’s lasting gems are the Atlanta Athletic Club, venue of Keegan Bradley’s 2011 PGA triumph, East Lake Golf Club also in Atlanta, and where the great Bobby Jones honed his game, and Medinah Country Club’s Course No. 3 where the Ryder ...
