Aberg, 23, brilliantly captured last Sunday’s Omega European Masters and in only his ninth event as a professional, and a fifth on the DP World since making his debut as an amateur at the 2018 Nordic Masters. Fleetwood’s other picks were Tommy Fleetwood, Sepp Straka, Justin Rose, Shane Lowry and Nicolai ...

Until earlier last week, Ludwig Aberg was an ultra-talented rookie professional who made the climb into the Swiss Alps to contest a maiden Omega European Masters. There were many in the lead-up to the Swiss event who suggested the 23-year-old Aberg would be an ideal Rome ‘wildcard’ choice for European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald and especially after finishing fourth in last week’s Czech Masters. Aberg is a former World No. 1 ranked amateur winning the Ben Hogan award as the ...

MacIntyre was on route to Geneva Airport and return flight home when confirmation of his automatic selection in Luke Donald’s European side was confirmed and this after Poland’s ...

For any golfer, ending a round with a double-bogey is no good cause to be hanging around for a relaxing beverage and a long fireside-like chat. No, Robert MacIntyre wasted little time in packing-up his golf clubs and jumping in a waiting courtesy car for the two-hour odd journey to Geneva Airport and a flight back to his beloved Scotland. It had been a third straight frustrating visit to the Omega European Masters for MacIntyre, as evident in taking a double-bogey down the final hole after sending ...

While top-ranked Scot Robert MacIntyre continues to struggle after three rounds in getting a strong footing on the Swiss slopes his automatic selection in the 2023 Ryder Cup now looks assured.

Indeed, if it were not for the event being the final Ryder Cup ...
