Greetings from the 2015 Abu Dhabi Invitational here at the Yas Links course in Abu Dhabi. Here is a couple of shots of the Yas Links course from high up in the wonderful clubhouse.

Stephen Gallacher will be looking to lower Rory McIlroy’s colours for a second time in a year when the duo tee-up in today’s (SUN) Abu Dhabi Invitational on the Yas Links course in the UAE. The Gleneagles winning duo will be among 58 pros competing in the $500,000 one day Pro-Am with $100,000 to the winner but half going to a charity of their choice. Joining the pair is defending champ Richie Ramsay, double Major winning Sandy Lyle and Carly Booth, and one of two women golfers representing the ...

Scotland’s Marc Warren will reap the rewards despite failing to bank victory in the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha. Warren bravely fought back from a gut-wrenching double bogey at the eight hole only to lose out by a shot to South African Branden Grace. Grace collected his sixth European Tour win and his second in four events on this year’s European Tour 2014/15 wraparound schedule posting a last day six under par 66 to win by a stroke with a 19-under par tally. Warren, 33 bounced ...

Amazing Branden Grace is ready to contend in the Majors after banking his sixth European Tour title success at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. For the second day running the South African produced the day’s moment of magic – a drive to five feet on the par four 16th setting up a decisive eagle as he shot a round of 66 for a 19 under par total. That followed a miraculous snap-hook wedge from the trees at the fifth on Saturday, where the resulting birdie set up a third round 68 after a shaky ...

Hereunder is the draw for tomorrow’s (Sunday, January 25th) 2015 Abu Dhabi Invitational being played at the Yas Island Links course in the UAE capital. And please note Stephen Gallacher’s surname (last match) should be spelt Gallacher.

Mark Warren is staring at becoming the fourth Scottish-born champion after muscling his way to a share of the lead with a round to play in the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. Warren grabbed six birdies and dropped only one shot in a five under 67 to join three others on 13-under par in ideal conditions on the Doha Golf Club course. Those also sharing the lead include South African Branden Grace, who birdied the last in 68, along with Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo (67) and Austrian Bernd Wiesberger ...

Irish-born caddy Dave McNeilly is on the lookout for a new bag after he and Italy’s Matteo Manassero agreed to part. The decision came when the 21-year old, and four-time Tour winning Manassero missed the halfway cut for a second week in a row here in Doha. And the young Italian was clearly in no mood for a fireside chat looking very unhappy after two rounds in Qatar. Manassero, who has also slumped to No. 158th in the world, also sat out the weekend rounds of his closing two events of 2014. McNeilly ...
