Robert MacIntyre heads into today’s (THUS) second round primed to tackle World No. 1 Dustin Johnson after his come-from-behind opening match success at the WGC – Dell Match-Play in Austin, Texas. MacIntyre had been behind after a Na birdie at the first but drew level with a birdie of his own at the next before the duo each pared the next nine holes on the Ausin Country Club course. Na then won the 12th with a birdie to MacIntyre’s bogey only for MacIntyre to sensationally chip-in for ...

David Drysdale is again banging loudly on a first Tour victory door after soaring with two eagles to be sharing second place heading to the closing two rounds of the Kenya Savannah Classic in Nairobi. Drysdale also grabbed four birdies in a second straight six-under par 65 for a 12-under par tally to be trailing just one shot behind South African Daniel Von Tonner and with the 30-year snatching three eagles in his 64 to lead at 13-under par. The proud Scott shares second with Justin Harding (66), ...

Former champion Rory McIlroy found a neighbours backyard swimming pool in losing 6 & 5 to Ian Poulter after a lop-sided first match on the opening day of the WGC – Dell Match-Play Championship in Austin, TX. McIlroy was never in front against his long-time European Ryder Cup colleague including right from an opening tee shot that McIlroy sent way left into the tree-line to find a bunker. Poulter played a superb shot to go 1up with a birdie ‘3’ and with the Englishman looking ...

Scotland’s David Drysdale was soaring with two eagles to the top of the leaderboard on day two of the Kenya Savannah Classic in Nairobi. Dyrsdale, who last week celebrated his 46th birthday, eagled both the par-5 sixth hole and the par-5 11th in a second straight round of 65 on the Karen Country Club course. ‘Double D’ had missed the cut on the same course at last week’s Miracle Kenya Open but he’s certainly turned on the magic less than a week later in not only snaching ...

Here’s a scenario many would rather not have to contemplate. It is Friday 9th April, 2021 and you’re leading the Masters.  You receive a telephone call from your wife to say the couple’s first born is due over the weekend. What do you do? World No. 2 Jon Rahm knows what he will be doing and insists being present for the birth of his son will come before a Masters green jacket. The double Dubai Duty Free Irish Open winning Spaniard revealed ahead of this week’s WGC – ...

Scotland’s David Drysdale would be the first to agree that two days are never the same in the ancient club-and-ball game of golf. Just four days after missing the halfway cut on the same Karen Country Club course, Drysdale went out to superbly produce an eight birdie haul on the opening day of the Kenya Savannah Classic. The Borders golfer raced to be out in just 29 shots thanks to six birdies and home in 36 for his super effort that has him lying just a shot off the lead in Nairobi. Four ...
