... Albany, The Bahamas  ​For a second occasion in a few days, Tiger Woods has singled out Rory McIlroy for special praise. First Woods was very complimentary of McIlroy’s leadership qualities in taking the PGA Tour fight virtually single-handedly to LIV Golf and now on day three of the Hero World Challenge, Woods has singled out McIlroy’s swing. Woods, who withdrew from teeing-up in the tournament he hosts, was speaking with NBC Golf during their coverage here from the Albany course ...

… Albany, The Bahamas Don’t get in Shane Lowry’s way come Sunday afternoon as he walks off the 18th hole of the Albany course here in the Bahamas. Lowry already has his bags packed and just needs to pack-up his golf attire and clubs ahead of making his way to nearby Lynden Pindling International Airport. With just one round remaining of a 13th season, Lowry is so much-looking forward to a four-week competition break. Lowry was all smiles in holing a 10-foot birdie putt at the last and ...

... Albany, The Bahamas  Shane Lowry continues to run on the smell of an oily rag and again evident on day two of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Lowry struggled in the bright but very windy conditions managing just four birdies but signing for a scoreboard also showing four bogeys, a 5th hole double-bogey and a 6th hole triple-bogey in his round of 77 to be at seven-over and bottom of the board in the no-cut, 20-player field. He was two-over for his second round after two holes, six-over ...

  … Albany, The Bahamas  Shane Lowry emerged from the scorer’s hut smiling and declaring: “Why am I playing golf in December?” This after a disappointing, near bottom of the board two-over 74 on the opening day of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Lowry ended his maiden round in the Tiger Woods hosted event sharing 15th place in the 20-player, $US3m event and played under a ‘preferred lie’ rule in effect on a very rain-softened Albany host course. The ...

… Albany, The Bahamas  It has been four months to the day Luke Donald was handed the captaincy reins to the 2023 European Ryder Cup team. Donald took over the captaincy following the sacking of Henrik Stenson, and this after the Swede joined the ranks of LIV Golf. Stenson was always in the mix to be appointed the replacement to 2021 captain, Padraig Harrington, and it came as no surprise on March 23rd, the European Tour confirmed his appointment. However, what then transpired was unprecedented ...

.… Albany, The Bahamas  It is an old expression, and it was an expression I recall double English-born World 500cc motor-bike champion Barry Sheene once used and that is ‘the people you pass on the way up, you ​​pass on the way back down’. It’s an expression one c​​ould use in all walks of life and Sheene drew on the phrase in describing a rival, who clearly was intent of caring little about those around him and focussed solely on riding his way to a championship title. Of course, ...

  …. Albany, The Bahamas GB&I Hero Cup captain Tommy Fleetwood says there is no guarantee the Scottish duo of Ewen Ferguson and Robert MacIntyre will be paired in January’s inaugural staging of the event. The double Tour winning pair of Scots were among eight players chosen by Fleetwood to take-on a Francesco Molinari led European team and with each captain still to name a ninth player ahead of the event from  January 13th to 15th in Abu Dhabi It will be a first pro-team event ...
