A video clip has surfaced of a conversation between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and the subject was not golf-related. No, it was a Japan Skins conversation between the duo on the Rugby World Cup that winds-up this weekend with England tackling South Africa. It was much like explaining to any American, the in’s and out’s of cricket but on this occasion it was Tiger asking the questions and Rory providing the answers … well trying to supply the answers as they walked the Accordia ...

Scotland’s Scott Henry is enjoying some serious family time during the Ras Al Khaimah Open by Arena and has climbed to the top of the leaderboard in the process after following his opening-round 65 with a six-under par 66 on Tuesday at Tower Links Golf Club. The 32-year-old from Clydebank has his brother-in-law Christopher Walker on his bag in the MENA Tour by Arena event and his idea of having fun was to add seven birdies and an eagle to his seven-birdie round yesterday and take a one-shot lead ...

Fellow Open Champions, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry lead the Irish chorus singing the praise of now 82-time PGA Tour winning, Tiger Woods. Woods, 43 won by three shots in capturing the rain-affected ZoZo Championship in Japan and in the process equalled the record set back in 1965 by ‘Slamming’ Sam Snead. McIlroy bounced back again from a diappointing one-over par opening score to finish a superb third in his first event of the new PGA Tour season. And knowing Woods as well as he does, McIlroy ...

Scot Calum Hill has an extra special reason in celebrating his 25th birthday this Sunday after brilliantly wrapping-up his European Tour card for next season. The Kirkcaldy golfer superbly birdied his closing five holes to grab third place in Sunday’s concluding secondary Challenge Tour’s Fosham Open just to the north-west of Macau in China. The effort, and after two earlier victories this year, not only saw Hill jump 14 spots to 110th on the World Rankings, but he’s now top of the ...

In an ideal golfing world, Ricardo Santos should be teeing-up in this week’s Portugal Masters. The very affable Portuguese-born Santos resides in Vilamoura with his wife, Rita and family but he finds himself in China competing on the secondary Challenge Tour. And the now 37-year old Santos is doing his best in a goal to return to the main European Tour in 2020, including finding his way to a share of the lead with China’s Zheng-kai Bai heading to the final round of the Foshan Open. Bai ...

After an indifferent season, Portugal Masters​ front-runner Brandon Stone would dearly love to capture a fourth European Tour victory but the 26-year old is more-focussed ahead of the last round in cheering his beloved Springboks onto victory in the second semi-final of the World Cup in far off Japan. Stone, and winner of last year’s Aberdeen Standard Investment Scottish Open, added a third straight score of 66 to move two shots clear of the field on 15-under par on the Dom Pedro Victoria course ...

For a second year in succesion, Ollie ‘Mr. 59’ Fisher has again lit-up the Portugal Masters. A year ago, Fisher became the first player in the history of the European Tour to break the sub-60 mark in producing a second round 59 on the Dom Pedro course at Vilamoura. Now twelve months on, Fisher has captured the headlines in signing for a second strraight round of 65 to move a shot clear of the field at 12-under par, and as the affabel Englishman seeks to only capture a second Tour title ...
