Masters champion Adam Scott was full of praise for ultra-talented Moroccan-born amateur Adam Bresnau. Scott and Bresnau, along with American lefty Akshay Bhatia went out in the same group on day three of the $9m Hero Dubai Desert Classic signing for respective rounds of 69, 72 and Bhatia a 73 in bright but testing windy conditions on the host Emirates club course. It is only Bresnau’s second time in Dubai and the first being at the end of last year when he captured the Pan Arab Amateur Championship ...

Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson was far from pleased when he found himself ‘put on the clock’ by a DP World Tour official while still very much in contention late in his round on day three of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic here in Dubai. Ferguson was one-over par for his third round heading down the 16th hole on the host Emirates Golf Club course when he, and playing in the group of Kiwi Dan Hillier and Aussie Jason Scrivener, was approached and advised to speed-up his play by the Tour’s ...

Tom McKibbin was singing the praise of the Odyssey Jailbird putter in finding himself the leading Irishman after two rounds of the season-opening Hero Dubai Desert Classic. McKibbin, 22, birdied four of his last eight holes for a round of 69 to climb into a share of 15th place on five-under-par and seven shots off the halfway pace set by Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson. Dubai resident Ferguson brilliantly ended his round birdie, eagle in a score of 65 to move to 12-under and one clear of Kiwi Daniel Hillier ...

  “I f***ing well hope so!” Jon Rahm delivered a most memorable recommendation when asked if he would like to see top-Scot Robert MacIntyre again as a team-mate later this year in defending the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Park Black in New York. Rahm had just crashed-out on debut in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic with scores of 69 and a bogey-laden 77 for a two-over tally on the host Emirates Golf Club course. The top LIV Golf star and Masters champions second round included just two birdies ...

Superstar Jon Rahm has welcomed news LIV Golf has now formally confirmed it has signed a multi-million dollar broadcast deal in the US with Fox Sports declaring, in part, ‘the PGA Tour now is without certain players is not as entertaining as it was before’. While talks between LIV and the established PGA Tour continue, the deal suggests that the breakaway league is unlikely to disappear any time soon. LIV has previously been broadcast on The CW, drawing small ratings on a channel not ...

Borussia Dortmund is the second most decorated football team in Germany and where you find one of the best and most fearsome stands in European football since it was expanded in the late 1990s – the Yellow Wall. At 328ft long and 131ft high, the Yellow Wall has a capacity to accommodate nearly 25,000 fans and is the largest single-tiered grandstand in the whole of Europe. “If you are the enemy, it crushes you but if you have her at your back as a goalkeeper, it’s a fantastic feeling,” ...

Scot Ewen Ferguson found himself inspired not only by a new putter but also by constant sightings of his new 51-storey apartment building in muscling his way straight into contention at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. Ferguson, 28, brilliantly kick-started his new season birdieing his opening three holes in a five-under-par 67 before being joined by fellow Scot Calum Hill with the same score to share fifth place in the $US 9m Rolex Series event on the host Emirates Golf Club course. The trio of Aussie ...
