Sweden’s Rikard Karlberg won the 72° OPEN D’ITALIA presented by DAMIANI in dramatic                                                                       manner claiming a second hole play-off victory over his more fancied rival Martin Kaymer. Kaymer had led by three shots on 21 under at one point but he collapsed on the back nine                                                     ...

Encouraged by a solid start to the ‘Gulf Swing’ of the MENA Golf Tour, Luke Joy returns to Saadiyat Beach Golf Club, radiating positive vibes as he looks to defend his title at the Ascorp Abu Dhabi Golf Citizen Open, starting on Monday. The Englishman racked up a creditable tied seventh-place finish at last week’s Dubai Creek Open, although he felt short of his intended target of retaining the title that his compatriot Jake Shepherd won in a three-way playoff which also included a precocious ...

Craig Lee kept in sight of the Monza chequered flag posting a second straight 67 to move within just three shots off the lead heading to the back straight of the 72nd Italian Open. The Scot snared an eagle for a second day running along with four birdies for a 10-under par tally under a continuing ‘preferred lie’ rule on the the Milano Golf Club course.

European Ryder Cup Captain Darren Clarke is concentrating hard on this week’s 72° OPEN D’ITALIA presented by DAMIANI – a week out from travelling to Hazeltine for the Ryder Cup ‘One Year To Go’ celebrations. Clarke tees up on the Golf Club Milano course without a top ten finish this season and no win since his sensational victory at the Open Championship in 2011. But he has shown glimpses of his best in recent weeks, with rounds of 69 and 68 at the Made in Denmark ...

Bernie was taken by complete surprise today when he sought out any photographs of England’s Richard Boxall with the Italian Open trophy. For both Bernie and ‘Boxie’ it’s the first time both have been back to the Milano GC since 1990 when Bernie was reporting and then photographing his first Italian Open and with ‘Boxie’ capturing what would turn out to be his lone European Tour success. ‘Boxie’ could remember every detail of his splendid five shot victory ...

England’s Jake Shepherd showed his flair for the dramatic as, by his own reckoning, he came from nowhere to win the MENA Golf Tour’s Dubai Creek Open in a tense three-way play-off on Wednesday. Three shots off the pace going into the final round, Shepherd closed with a four-under 67 to reach nine under in regulation along with his playing partner Rayhan Thomas of India before Austria’s Florian Praegant, playing in the final group, three putted the last from 15 yards, to force the extra ...
