Scott Jamieson superbly muscled his way to a share of the lead, regrouping from a mid-round hiccup to post eight birdies in bright but testing, windy conditions on day one of the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open. Jamieson had teed-off from the 10th hole and quickly raced to four-under thanks to four birdies over his opening five holes. The Florida-based Scot stalled with a bogey at his sixth hole but regained that lost shot with a birdie at his ninth only to double the par-4 first hole that he was playing ...

Top of the King’s ‘List’ will be those he has bestowed a Knighthood and Charles will not have required ...

News that Cadillac is returning as a 2026 tournament sponsor on the PGA Tour rekindled memories of an incident I witnessed first hand just over 10 years ago during the hosting of the WGC – Cadillac Championship at Trump Doral in suburban Miami. It was a Rory McIlroy splash for all the wrong reasons when his frustration boiled over and he hurled a $200 Nike Vapor 3-iron into the depths of one of the many lakes on the Blue Monster layout at Trump National Doral. The then World No. 1 ranked McIlroy ...

Aussie Marc Leishman has captured a second ‘home’ Victorian PGA Championship title 17-years after a first on a windswept host Moonah Links course lying to the south of Melbourne. Leishman, 42, tamed the brutal conditions birdieing the last for a one stroke victory from fellow Victorian-born Josh Younger. The win is the 15th in Leishman’s pro career along with a second this year after capturing the LIV Golf Miami tournament in April. ‘LEISH’ TOASTS SECOND #VICPG 1⃣7⃣ ...
