Carnoustie, Scotland … Tiger Woods is all set to end an 11-year absence when he tees-up in this week’s 147th Open Championship. The last time Woods has seen Carnoustie was in finishing T11th in the 2007 Open. And the 14-time Major winner was keen to get a look at the Scotland course teeing-up around 3.40pm and hitting off the first.

Gullane, Scotland … Paul Dunne was not about to allow a closing hole double-bogey take the gloss from the proceeding 17 good holes in being five-under par on day one of the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open at Gullane. Dunne, and playing Gullane for a first time as a pro, was inside the top-10 standing on the downhill 18th when he drove his ball right out-of-bounds, and onto what is the No.2 course and out-of-play for the week.

Gullane, Scotland … New Irish Open champion Russell Knox reveals he is considering playing more on the European Tour after his recent run of success. The Florida-based Scot was joint runner-up in last fortnight’s French Open and then last Sunday brilliantly holed not one but two 40-foot birdie putts on the 18th green to capture the Rory McIlroy hosted event. It was Knox’s maiden victory on the European Tour and his third victory in three different countries after capturing the WGC – HSBC ...

It is a golfer’s worst nightmare arriving at an airport without any golf clubs. That was the scenario facing Graeme McDowell as he arrived at Manchester Airport very early Monday morning ahead of teeing-up Tuesday in a 36-hole Open Championship qualifier at the Old St. Annes course just to the south of Blackpool in England. McDowell was headed to Manchester Airport after his disappointing showing in Sunday’s concluding French Open in Versailles where he finished T37th and effectively ...
