Jamieson Stays In Sight Of Ending Decade-Long Victory Drought
Scott Jamieson remains on target to end a decade-long winless drought heading to the final round of the Alfred Dunhill Championship in South Africa.

Nice Legs … Why Players Are Wearing Shorts At Leopard Creek.
It’s a sight not often seen during formal competition in men’s golf and that’s the wearing of shorts.
Of course, men are allowed to wear shorts during DP World Tour and PGA Tour practice rounds but once the competition proper gets underway, it’s the standard trousers for all players.
Though this is not the rule at this week’s co-sanctioned Alfred Dunhill Championship at Leopard Creek in South Africa with officials relaxing the trousers-rule to allow the wearing of shorts.

Hovland Matches Tiger Woods Winning Back-To-Back Hero World Challenge
.… Albany, The Bahamas

As well, Woods remains tied with the late Sam Snead in sharing ...

McKibbin – No New Motor, No Pot Of Cash Nor A Bottle Of Bubbly After Joy Of First Tour Ace
There was no spanking new motor, no pot cash or even a bottle bubby, and nor was there any spectators on the tee but that didn’t worry rookie Tom McKibbin in grabbing a first DP World Tour ace on day one of the co-sanctioned South Africa Open.
The Holywood teenager holed out, hitting a 5-iron into the par-3 11th hole, with the ball landing short and running straight into the hole on route to a five-under 67 on the Blair Atholl course in Joburg.
“It was just a perfect 5-iron and my caddie ...
