Scotland’s Connor Syme brilliantly holed a last hole birdie to regain a share of the lead heading to the final round of the ISPS Handa Wales Open at Celtic Manor. In conditions not too dissimilar to those that almost ruined the 2010 Ryder Cup, all players battled a difficult mix of driving rain and continuing blustery conditions in a ‘preferred lie’ rule in place on the Twenty-Ten course. Sweden’s Sebastain Soderberg was one of just two players inside the top-20 to tame the weather and ...

Scotland’s Connor Syme heads to the weekend now determined for a double dose of success at the ISPS Handa Wales Open at Celtic Manor. Syme tamed the ‘brutal’ wet and blustery conditions brought on by Storm Caroline moving two shots clear of the field with a second one-under par 70 for a six-under total. The Drumoig golfer grabbed three birdies but also dropped two shots to be clear of fellow Scot Liam Johnston who posted a 68 to be among a group on four-under. Syme said: “That was brutal, ...

Connor Syme superbly set about making amends for last week’s Celtic Manor near first Tour win in posting a stunning 66 and muscle his way into a share of the lead on the same course on day one of the ISPS Handa Wales Open. Syme’s effort was five shots fewer than Sunday’s disappointment in having to settle for third place at the Celtic Classic. It left Syme tied at the top with England’s Jordan Smith who grabbed six birdies in a five-under par 66. Syme, 25 birdied three of his opening seven ...

McIlroy confirmed his ‘staying at home’ intentions ahead of teeing-up in Thursday’s the Northern Trust, and the opening event of the ...

Shane Lowry has boosted interest in next month’s rescheduled Dubai Duty Free Irish Open with the real likelihood of teeing-up at the Galgorm Resort in Ballymena. Lowry intends to remain in Stateside up to and including the September 17th to 20th U.S. Open and then return home to Ireland for the following week’s Irish Open. Lowry spoke of his plans to return home, and in what will be a first visit since early February, soon after securing a place in this week’s Northern Trust on the southern ...

Shane Lowry could breathe a big sigh of relief in booking a place in this week’s PGA Tour opening ‘Play-off Series’ event after a ‘stressful’ final round 67 at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. Lowry grabbed five birdies but also dropped two shots and with the bogey at the par-3 16th presenting the reigning Open Champion with concern in his eventual 12-under tally. For an 11th Tour event since the mid-June return to competition, it was a ‘no spectator’ event and thus ruling ...
