Russell Knox superbly again displayed his Scottish golf skills in battling ‘strange’ sloppy conditions to be in the clubhouse lying third late on day two of the Mayakoba Championship. Knox was three-under par coming to last but was clearly distracted in posting his only bogey in a round of 69 to be just a shot behind the American duo of Tony Finau (66) and Tom Hoge (67) atop of the board at nine-under par. The Florida-based Scot was superb with his irons including hitting all opening nine greens ...

Robert MacIntyre will edge closer to a maiden Masters invitation in heading to today’s (SAT) final round of the inaugural Golf in Dubai Championship at Jumeirah Estates in Dubai.

England’s Andy Sullivan continues to lead the field after adding a ...

Scotland’s Russell Knox felt right at home in the Scottish-like conditions and storming his way to the front by a shot with a six-under par 65 late on day one of the Mayakoba Championship at Playa del Carmen in Mexico.

Knox’s round, in windy and sometimes wet conditions, was his lowest since a Safeway Open first round 63 last September and ...

All honours to England’s Andy Sullivan went within two holes of becoming only the second European Tour player to post a 59 in his round of a course record setting 11-under par 61 on day one of the inaugural Golf in Dubai Championship. Sulliban lit-up the Sergio Garcia designed Fire course with 11 birdies, included six in succession from his sixth to 11th holes but then falling just shy of a sub-60 score with pars on his last two holes. Sullivan said:  “It’s funny, I played the front nine ...
