World No. 1 Tiger Woods muscled his way towards a first European Tour victory in four years with a sizzling nine-under par 63 on the second day of the inaugural Turkish Airlines Open in Belek. Woods completed seven holes of his delayed first round with a two-under par 70 and then after an hour’s lunch break the 14-time Major winner didn’t drop a shot in posting nine birdies, including three in succession from the second and then his closing two. It left Woods, who last won in the European Tour ...

Colin Montgomerie has slammed past Masters winner Charl Schwartzel has threatened to resign his European Tour membership over the eligibility criteria for the Tour’s Final Series.

Schwartzel is contesting this week’s third event of the inaugural Final Series, the ...
