Old Course, St. Andrews …. Tommy Fleetwood has moved into second place on the Race To Dubai after finishing joint runner-up in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship here at the Old Course in Scotland. Fleetwood began the last round sharing third place and three shots behind compatriot, Tyrrell Hatton. And while Hatton got a great start in birding four holes in succession from the third but then began opening the door on his rivals with back-to-back bogeys at 10 and 11 before finding two behind ...

Old Course, St. Andrews …. Dane Lucas Bjerregaard admitted he drew inspiration from a visit last week to the European Ryder Cup team room to deny the Versailles winning duo of Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood victory in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship here at the Old Course in St. Andrews. Bjerregaard, who had shared the lead on day two, came from four shots behind Hatton, and despite a bogey at his last, to finish a shot clear of the Englishman with a closing 67 and capture a second ...

Carnoustie, Scotland …. Tyrrell Hatton has both Tiger Woods and Ernie Els in his sights heading to a hopeful third straight success in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. Unlike a day earlier, the victorious Ryder Cup rookie posted an incident-free six-under par 66 at Carnoustie to move to a share of second on eight-under and just a shot behind the leading duo of Dane Lucas Bjerregaard (65) and Italian Andrea Pavan (63). Hatton’s effort was five strokes fewer than any one of ...

Carnoustie, Scotland …. Three months after his delight shooting an opening day 67 and on route to an eventual share of ninth in golf’s oldest major, Tony Finau returned to Carnoustie to be just as delighted in posting 66 to be inside the top-15 after two rounds of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. The American, and coming off last week’s Ryder Cup disappointment, grabbed eight birdies and with only bogey at the par-3 16th on last July’s 147th Open Championship host venue Finau ...

Kingsbarns, Scotland …. Ryder Cup winning hero, Tyrrell Hatton was visibly shaken after he hit a woman with his tee shot on the opening day of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at the Kingsbarns Links course in Scotland. A combination of a left-hand pin placement, a 30mph left-to-right cross wind and the need for players to start their tee shots left and in the direction of spectators saw the unnamed Edinburgh woman felled at the par-3 15th hole. Back-to-back defending champion Hatton’s ...

St. Andrews, Scotland …. Graeme McDowell gets back to normal day job this week in Scotland still on a high after playing his part in Europe’s stunning Ryder Cup triumph in France. McDowell joins five other Irish teeing-up in this week’s starting Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. McDowell was runner-up in the 2004 event and is competing for a second straight European Tour occasion in Scotland after having contested July’s Scottish Open at Gullane. ‘G Mac’ will partner ...

St. Andrews, Scotland … Triple Major winning Brooks Koepka looked and sounded very concerned in describing it to be the ‘worst day of my life’ in learning the spectator struck in the eye on day one of the Ryder Cup could lose the sight in her right eye. Corine Remande was hit by a wayward shot on the par-four sixth hole at Le Golf National in Versailles. The American, who is contesting this week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship here in Scotland, went on Twitter on Tuesday ...
