Patrick Reed bravely buried any lingering controversy and producing a masterclass round to capture the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. Reed went into the final round on the South Course sharing the lead at 10-under and left his rivals fighting for second place in winning by four shots with a three-under par 69 for a 13-under victory tally. The win is the Texan-born Reed’s ninth PGA Tour title and while a member also of the European Tour, it is Reed’s 10th taste of success on U.S. ...

Rory McIlroy emerged from the final round of the Farmers Insurance Open unwittingly being dragged headlong into the latest rule’s controversy involving fellow PGA Tour colleague, Patrick Reed. Reed teed-up in the final round under a social media storm cloud following an incident mid-round on day three when he looked to have gained a favoured ruling despite TV footage clearly revealing his second shot at the 10th had bounced before being embedded in deep rough at Torrey Pines. The full exchange ...

Robert MacIntyre has finally broken into the world’s top-50 but it was not the positive manner the young Scot had expected after seeing victory slip at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. MacIntyre posted a disappointing final round 74 to finish five shots behind England’s Paul Casey who won by four strokes in posting a closing 70 for a 17-under tally on the Emirates course. South African Brandon Stone, and a past ASI Scottish Open winner, grabbed second place, signing for a 66 for a 13-under ...

Rory McIlroy produced a third round at the Farmers Insurance Open, and excuse the analogy, much akin to boiling the kitchen kettle. You start off with the kettle full with fresh water and it gets to the point where you can clearly hear it bubbling away but it does everything but whistle. McIlroy turned the kettle on but for the opening five holes he couldn’t find a fairway and then near mid-round when there was a hint of a whistle, he eventually arrived at round’s end with a lukewarm two-under ...

Robert MacIntyre revealed introducing an ‘A’ word into his golfing make-up will be pivotal if he’s to get the ‘W’ at the 2021 Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Scotland’s top-ranked golfer produced a five-under par 67 to head to the final day in second place at 14-under and a shot adrift of England’s Paul Casey heading to the final day at the Emirates Club. Casey, 43, birdied four of his opening seven holes and then finished eagle, birdie to finish on 15-under par. Casey and MacIntyre ...

Robert MacIntyre needs just a Omega Dubai Desert Classic top-three finish and he can packs his bags for this year’s Masters. MacIntyre brilliantly burst into contention for a second Tour victory, and in only five events, thanks to an Omega Dubai Desert Classic second round bogey-free 68 and muscle his way to a share of second place at nine-under par. The tor-ranked Scot held the clubhouse lead till very late in the day before overtaken by German Thomas Detry posting a 68 to lead by a shot at 10-under ...

Padraig Harrington was not about to allow ‘intimidating’ greens get the better of him as he snatched seven birdies, including four in succession, on day two of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. Europe’s Ryder Cup captain made it two halfway cuts from as many new season events thanks to a second round 69 for a four-under halfway tally at the Emirates club in Dubai. Scottish lefty Robert MacIntyre, who played alongside Harrington last week in Abu Dhabi, put himself into contention for a second ...
