To his credit, Jon Rahm quickly realised the error of his ways as he was on the hunt for a PGA Championship volunteer after accidentally hitting him in the face with a divot during the first round on Friday, calling the incident “inexcusable.” The incident took place at the Spaniard’s 16th hole, the par-four seventh, where after a poor shot from the rough, the clearly frustrated golfer slammed his club into the ground and sent a lump of turf flying into the face of a nearby volunteer.

There will be a mix of old and new faces among the Australasian contingent when the 108th staging of the PGA Championship at the Aronimink Golf Club, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.’ First played in 1916, the PGA Championship was the first golf major won by an Australian, Jim Ferrier defeating Chick Harbert 2&1 at Plum Hollow Country Club in 1947 a decade before it changed to a strokeplay championship. Since 1958, a further four Aussies have raised the Wanamaker Trophy, equal ...

You would be hard pressed to count the number of times in his career Rory McIlroy has posted a round of golf without a single birdie. And for 17 holes of the opening round of the weather-affected Truist Championship that is what is looked like for the double Masters champion. Returning to competition for a first time since his glorious Augusta National back-to-back success, McIlroy stood on his 18th tee not having posted one birdie on the Quail Hollow course where in 2010 he secured the first of ...

The Scottish duo of Ewen Ferguson and David Law superbly honoured the 15th anniversary of the passing of legendary Seve Ballesteros each posting seven-under 65s to be tied second on the opening day of the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship on the host El Prat course in Barcelona.

Pablo Larrazabal naturally wished so much to capture the 2011 Open de Espania at the host El Prat in Barcelona.

It was around 3pm later that day Larrazabal joined hundreds – including fellow Spaniards Jose Maria Olazabal and Miguel Angel Jimenez plus other players, officials, caddies, spectators, members of the media ...

Strange that someone of Bob MacIntyre’s enormous talent has to continually declare what you see is what you are going to continue to get, as he again finds himself defending his highly improper actions during day one of the recent Masters. MacIntyre returned to his beloved Scotland to host the annual Genesis Scottish Open media day at the Renaissance Club near Gullane in East Lothian. It is an occasion arranged by the DP World Tour and with MacIntyre, as winner of the event two years ago, confirming ...

Scotland’s Jamie Duguid is celebrating after superbly taming the windy conditions in capturing the famed Battle Trophy at Crail Golfing Society in the Home of Golf nation. Duguid posted rounds of 70, 70, 71 and a closing 73 to secure success by a shot in the four-round, two-day event held last weekend over the Gil Hanse designed Craighead Links course at Crail and some 10 miles east of St. Andrews. The Dunbar attached Duguid, and where he proudly reigned as Club Champion two years ago, landed ...
