World Cup winning hero Jason Day will return to competition at this week’s Australian with the goal of eventually reaching Number One in the world. The 27-year old jumped six spots to World No. 11 on the back of his two shot victory at Royal Melbourne. Day arrived in Sydney on Monday morning to begin preparations for his first Australian Open title in two years but his first-ever appearance at the Royal Sydney Golf Club. The Ohio-based Day reached a World Ranking high on No. 7 after finishing third ...

Double Major-winning Rory McIlroy admits he facing a tough task to silence Adam Scott in pulling off the “Australian Grand Slam” at the Australian Open in Sydney. Scott is in red-hot form having already captured the Australian PGA and Australian Masters this month and victory at Royal Sydney would give him the coveted “Australian Grand Slam”. In preparation, McIlroy has spent the past week in Dubai working on his game after finishing fifth in his defence of the European Race ...

World Cup winning hero, Jason Day has called on Olympic Games officials to consider sticking with the ‘team’ element to competition when golf returns to the Olympics in 2016 at Rio de Janeiro. Golf will be staged in both the 2016 and 2020 Summer Olympics for a first time since 1904 but as a ‘demonstration’ sport, and with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to vote in 2017 as to whether to reintroduce the sport full time from 2024. This week’s $8m World Cup of Golf was an intended ...

Australia’s Jason Day will be hoping his mother’s special ‘salty chicken’ and what he describes as a ‘Heart Attack in a Box’  will lead to victory an emotional charged victory in the World Cup of Golf in Melbourne. Day overhauled third round leader Thomas Bjorn of Denmark with three birdies in his closing six holes in a score of a three under par 68 for a nine under par tally on yet another bright but testing day on the Royal Melbourne course. Bjorn let slip his grip ...

Richardo Santos continues to be one of the big surprises in this year’s ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf despite a late round hiccup on day three of the $8m event. The Portugal player has traveled to Australia for a fist time in his career and he’s now within reach of grabbing the $US 1.2m first prize cheque for individual honours. Santos posted two rounds of 69 to be just among just four players to have shot under 70 over the first two days. “I played really solid, even better than ...

Adam Scott will look to draw on Royal Melbourne memories of nearly a decade ago in an outside chance of capturing individual honours in the 2013 ISPS Handa World Cup of Golf. The World No. 2 posted a second straight three under par 68 to move inside the top-10 with an overall three under par tally. Scott had five birdies in his round and just two bogeys as he looked to fight back from the horrors of his opening round 75 on the course where he successfully defended last week’s Australian Masters ...

Australia’s Adam Scott will head into the third round of the 2013 World Cup of Golf staring at trailing Thomas Bjorn by nine shots with two rounds to play. The reigning Masters champion seems to be running on the smell of an oily rag after back-to-back victories this past fortnight on the Australasian Tour. After a shock opening round of 75 Scott came out on day two to birdie his first two holes and then picked up three other birdies but again sticking out like a dog’s hind leg, as was ...
