MacIntyre: Fails Five Mental Tests In Five Events & With Five Weeks To Earn Masters Return
After admitting he’s failed his last five mental tests, top-ranked Scot Robert MacIntyre heads into this week’s Hero Indian Open with five weeks remaining if he’s to head to the biggest test of Augusta National.
MacIntyre, 26, is currently ranked a lowly No. 91st on the World Rankings and needing to be inside the leading 50 at the close of play anywhere in the world as on Sunday March 26th.
At that date, anyone inside the top-50 on the rankings and not yet exempt, will be afforded an invitation ...
Nicklaus Wearing His Lounge-Room Slippers, Eating His Signature Triple Chocolate Ice Cream But Sadly A Last Honda Classic.
One of the fondest memories in attending the Honda Classic has been the joy to sit in the company of tournament host, Jack Nicklaus.
It’s always been customary at each Honda Classic, as it is at the Memorial in Ohio, for Nicklaus to give his time to the visiting media in hosting a media conference at some time convenient during the course of either tournament.
It is a little more formal at the Memorial but at the Honda Classic it’s much more relaxed.
The Honda Classic is also Nicklaus’ ...
Gallacher’s 1,425-Day Wait To Defend Hero Indian Open
Stephen Gallacher’s record-setting 1,425 days wait to defend the Hero Indian Open ends this week in New Delhi.
It’s been that long, and more simply 36 days shy of four years since Gallacher captured a fourth DP World Tour success with then 17-year-old son Jack on the bag and calling the shots in the Indian capital.
Gallacher’s time as a defending champion, and aside from WW2, is probably the longest in the history of some of golf’s oldest national open titles, and with the Indian Open first ...
John ‘JP’ Paramor Remembered Not Only For His Crushing Handshake But His Gentlemanly Ways
In meeting John Paramor for the first time, I naturally reached out my arm to shake the hand of the European Tour’s leading referee.
What I did not expect was the crushing nature of his handshake.
No, it was not as though Paramor was in any way proving a point as it was just the nature of this powerfully built rules official, so much so, that for each and every other time I shook the hand of ‘JP’, as he was affectionately known, I was prepared for the force of his handshake.
It ...
‘No, Look At Her Grip’ As Harrington Admires Riviera’s Four-Time Academy Award Winning Golfer.
Players at this week’s Genesis Invitational will again find their way up just over 50 steep steps at the back of the 18th green to the ladies locker room within the stunning clubhouse at Riviera Country Club in suburban Santa Monica.
Yes, the ladies locker room!
The expansive Riviera ladies locker room is at the top of the staircase and given it’s close proximity to the back of the 18th and the close-by 1st tee, it’s used as a temporary scorer’s room for the annual ...
Scots Will Need To Do A ‘Monty’ If They’re To Win Singapore Classic
The Scottish duo of Scott Jamieson and Grant Forrest will need to do a “Monty” if they are to capture the inaugural Singapore Classic.
The Tartan duo share 11th place at 10-under but just four adrift of the leading duo of South Korean Jeunghun Wang and Spaniard Alejandro Del Ray tied at 14-under.
Nineteen years ago, Monty came from five shots back heading to the last day to win by three on this week’s same Laguna National course on the small island nation.
The 27-year-old Wang had been four ...
