Welsh golfing ace will be retire from ever again using a chainsaw after being so lucky not to severe his left hand. Donaldson suffered the injury a week ago cutting down trees on his property and with the good news he will have the stitches removed tomorrow (WED). It was first thought the 2014 Ryder Cup winning hero could be out for some weeks but there is news today from his manager he could very well compete in next fortnight’s Dubai Desert Classic. On Twitter, Donaldson posted a candid ...

After enjoying the sweet taste of victory last week at the EURASIA CUP presented by DRB-HICOM, Ian Poulter and Lee Westwood both put their palates to the test as they enjoyed the culinary delights of rising celebrity chef Tom Sellers ahead of this week’s Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship. The two Ryder Cup legends took time out from their busy schedule, having flown straight in from Malaysia where they helped Darren Clarke’s European team to a 18½-5½ victory over Asia, to join English tennis ...

For a second straight season PGA Tour rookie Shane Lowry is skipping this year’s Desert Swing in favour of the PGA Tour’s West Coast Swing. Lowry has a week off after helping steer Europe to victory in Sunday’s 13-point European demolition of an Asian Tour team. He will then head to California hoping to strike gold in three huge events this year for the PGA Tour pro – the Olympic Games, the season-ending FedEx Cup and the Ryder Cup. Lowry has competed on the European Tour ‘Desert Swing’ ...

Darren Clarke could not have made it any clearer in delivering fellow Irishman Shane Lowry the most strongest suggestion he wants him as an automatic qualifier for his Ryder Cup team. Clarke’s European EurAsia Cup team were celebrating well into the evening last night (SUN) after their 13-point demolition of the Asian Team in an 18 ½ to 5 ½ points drubbing in continuing sauna-like conditions on the Glenmarie Golf Club course in Kuala Lumpur. The only downside on a final day when Europe won nine ...

Connor Syme proved the ‘Wizard of Oz’ in the early hours of Sunday morning after becoming the third Scot in the last 13 years to be crowned Australian Men’s Amateur champion. The 20-year-old, who plays out of Drumoig Golf Centre in Fife, lifted his biggest title in the game after a hard-fought 3&2 success against Aussie Travis Smyth in the 36-hole final in Melbourne. Syme, one of three Scots who reached the last-16 at Metropolitan GC, took early charge of the contest after three birdies ...

Darren Clarke admitted he felt sorry for his Asian Team rival captain Jeev Milkh Singh after a European Team continued to extol their match-play superiority claiming an emphatic 13-point victory in the EurAsia Cup in Kuala Lumpur. Europe won 10 of the deciding dozen Singles matches for an 18 ½ to 5 ½ points triumph on the Glenmarie Golf and Country club course. Clarke’s men were never headed leading by three points after Friday’s opening Four-Balls and extending their lead to six following ...

Shane Lowry has already holed the winning putt in his Foursome and Fourball matches at the 2016 EurAsia Cup and his positioning on the draw for the Sunday Singles could well see the Irishman make it three from three. Lowry teamed with England’s Danny Sullivan for a second day running winning 3 & 2 against the Asian Team duo of Prayad Marksaeng and Shingo Katayama. After losing the first hole to a birdie, the next seven holes were halved before Europe won the 10th with a par and finally ...
