Impressive Henric Sturehed stormed his way to a massive nine-shot victory at the MENA Tour Championship as England’s Jamie Elson wrapped up the Order of Merit title at Al Zorah Golf Club on Thursday. A good seven shots in front overnight, Sturehed, who shot a course-record 63 in second round, closed with a 69 to reach 21 under for the tournament, leaving the rest of the field trailing in his wake for his maiden win on the MENA Tour that propelled him to second position on the Order of Merit.

Bleary-eyed Paul Dunne shrugged off the effects of jet-lag to shine brightly on the opening day of the WGC – HSBC Champions event in Shanghai. Dunne looked very impressive in the elite company grabbing six birdies and dropping just one shot in a five-under par 67 to be sharing sixth place on the Sheshan course. It left the young Irishman, and making his WGC debut, trailing only three shots behind American Brooke Koepka and the reigning U.S. Open champion. Koepka, with Portrush caddy Ricky Elliott ...

Paul Dunne is going to need a third round fastest lap to get himself into last day Italian Open contention at Monza. The British Masters champ found himself stuck in the pack on a superb scoring day two but managaing only a two-under 69 to be just inside the leading 30 on six under par. Race-car fanatic Marcus Fraser was clearly excited competing next door to the Monza F1 circuit with the Aussie producing a career low of 62 to move into a share of the lead with England’s Matt Wallace (64) at 13-under ...

Race car fan Marcus Fraser is clearly excited competing next door to the famed Monza F1 circuit producing his lowest European Tour career score of a nine-under par 62 and seize a share of the lead on day two of the Italian Open. The 39-year old Fraser is a big fan of Australia’s V-8 Supercar Series and he does enjoy visiting the F1 Italian GP race circuit that backs onto the Milano Golf Club course. And with the sounds of cars testing at the circuit, Fraser picked off nine birdies, including ...

We were lucky to be in the right place at the right time when a full moon lit-up the Belle of Cincinnati that was at berth on the Ohio River.

Slow play is the curse of any golfer professional or amateur. Of course, the European Tour is planning to introduce penalties for any player taking more 40 seconds to play a shot but the 40 seconds includes picking a club, lining-up your shot and taking your stance. But imagine being stuck behind a guy who takes an agonising 25 seconds standing over the ball and then when he finally gets around to swinging the club, he completely misses the ball. And thanks to our good friends and colleagues at Irish ...

Former Italian Open winner Richard Boxall remembers vividly the occasion 27-years ago at this week’s host venue in Monza when all he had left to wear over the final round was a plain logo-free yellow shirt. Boxall’s five-shot 1990 victory over Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal on the Milano Golf Club course was the now 56-year old Englishman’s only European Tour victory. “Boxie” as he is more affectionately since swapped his golf clubs for a microphone to become one of the more-entertaining ...
