In fairness, Bryson DeChambeau was not the only golfer taken by surprise when the Wells Fargo Championship halfway cut fell at two-over par. Among those also who ended their second rounds at two-over par was Open Champion Shane Lowry but then the Royal Portrush winning hero was out in the afternoon half of the draw in posting scores of 71 and 73 that saw the Irishman two shots shy of the then projected cut of level par. Unlike DeChambeau, Lowry was not about to leave Charlotte in a hurry. You see ...

Scotland’s Calum Hill is quietly confident of a double delight with victory in the Canary Islands Championship in Tenerife. Hill, 26, birdied the closing hole for a third day running in a round of 66 to move to 17-under par to be in third place and just three shots off the lead on the spectacular clifftop Costa Ajele course. In-form South African Garrick Higgo, and winner of the last fortnight’s Tour event on Gran Canaria, snatched two eagles and also birdied his closing four holes in a seven-under ...

Affable Irisman Paul Dunne made a mockery of last week’s disappointing Tenerife Open efforts to produce his lowest European Tour score in two-and-a-half years on day one of the Canary Islands Championship at Tenerife. Dunne, 28, grabbed eight birdies in a six-under par 65 to share sixth place heading to the second round of the event on the Costa Adeje course. It placed the Greystones golfer just four shots behind Italian Francesco Laporta who signed for a nine-under par 63 to lead the field by ...

Richie Ramsay and Calum Hill each tapped-in for closing hole birdies to share the leading Scottish honours with rounds of six-under par 65s for a share of sixth place on day one of the Canary Islands Championship at Tenerife. Ramsay, 37, didn’t drop a shot in an equal low in 29 rounds this season on the Costa Adeje resort course that is playing host to a Tour event for a second week running. Hill, 26, began with a hat-trick of birdies in six birdies and while dropping a shot on 11, he capped his ...

Scotland’s Connor Syme walked-off feeling short-changed after a pair of early round eagles in an eventual five-under 66 on day one of the Canary Islands Championship at Tenerife. Syme had bogeyed his opening hole but quickly made amends in chipping-in from the back of the green at the par-5 11th, or the second hole of his round, ahead of holing a monster 40-footer for eagle at the par-5 13th on the Costa Adeje course. And it could have been two eagles and an ace in four holes as his tee shot ...

Richie Ramsay may need to deviate from the ‘straight and narrow’ if he’s to win this week’s Canary Islands Championship in Tenerife. The event is the final in a three-event ‘Canary Islands Swing’ before the Tour heads next week to the UK for a first time in 2021 and the BetFred British Masters at The Belfry. Ramsay is among four Scots who remained on Tenerife after contesting last week’s Tenerife Open and with this week’s event again being staged for a second week running on the ...
