In the space of five days Rory McIlroy has gone from the front page of the world’s newspapers to the lead story on the back page with his remarkable victory in the BMW PGA Championship. McIlroy came from seven shots behind at the start of the final round of the European Tour’s flagship event to birdie the closing two holes in a round of 66 for a 14-under par tally. He then waited patiently before fellow Irishman and good friend Shane Lowry birdied the last to finish on 13-under par and ...

Shane Lowry would not saying anything but he was clearly in some discomfort in posting a disappointing 73 on the third day of the BMW PGA Championship. Lowry started the round level with  Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn on 10-under par but quickly found himself two in front in the European Tour’s flagship event when the Dane doubled the opening hole on the West Course. However in the later stages of his round the Dubliner was observed rushing to an on-course toilet at the 15th and then again ...

Thomas Bjorn birdied seven of his closing eight holes to set up a five shot lead heading to the final round of the BMW PGA Championship. The 43-year old Dane fought back from a first hole double bogey to birdie six holes in succession from the 11th hole along with a birdie at the last in a score of 67 to move to 15-under par in the European Tour’s flagship event at Wentworth. Bjorn is contesting the event for a 17th occasion and while he finished fifth in 1998 he publically disagreed with changes ...

Ireland’s Shane Lowry birdied his closing two holes to join Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn sharing the lead after two rounds of the BMW PGA Championship. Lowry came from two shots behind Bjorn at the start of the round to shoot a two under par 70 to tie Bjorn on 10-under par and with the 43-year old Bjorn managing a level par 72 on a day of intermittent showers. Lowry and Bjorn are four shots clear of Spain’s Rafa Cabrera-Bello (73) and former BMW PGA winner Luke Donald (67) tied in third place on ...

Rory McIlroy continues to find on course ‘release’ from his off course personal troubles in motoring his way into contention on day two of a rain-sodden BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. McIlroy fought back from a seventh hole double bogey, and a hole he had eagled a day earlier, to post a one under par 71 for a five under par tally in the European Tour flagship event. The double Major winner had ended his opening round just after 8pm local time, and while being pestered by midges, the 25-year ...

Rory McIlroy failed to hide his drained and distraught looking appearance despite two sensational eagles on the opening day of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. The double Major winner eagled both the seventh and 12th holes in a round of a four under par 68 on a stop-start day affected by two stoppages totaling an hour and 45 minutes due to poor weather. It left the current World No. 10, who ended his round at 8.15pm local time, trailing eight shots behind Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn who established ...
