World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler has picked this week’s Ryder Cup to go public with a new putting coach – England-born Phil Kenyon. No sooner had Scheffler arrived at this week’s host Marco Simone course and the six-time PGA Tour winner was seen working with Kenyon, and why wouldn’t he given the American’s present lowly 151st ranking on the Tour’s ‘Strokes Gained in Putting’ stats. World #1 Scottie Scheffler is now working with Phil Kenyon on his putting. ...

Ryder Cup rookie Robert MacIntyre was wasting little time leaving Versailles after a most disappointing display at the Cazoo French Open. The top-ranked Scot was the only member of Luke Donald’s European Team to enter the prestigious DP World Tour event on the outskirts of Versailles but unlike the visit to the city by King Charles and Queen Camilla, there was no fanfare for MacIntyre as his visit turned horribly pear-shape posting disappointing scores of 71 and 77 for a six-over-par tally, ...

Ryder Cup rookie Bob MacIntyre gestured to hurl his putter into the drink after a frustrating opening round at the Cazoo French Open in Versailles. MacIntyre, and the lone Rome player in the French field, posted a no-frills level-par 71 to be well outside the top-70 heading the second round on the Le National course. The Scottish lefty got off to a good start with three birdies in his opening six holes, including holing a 21-footer for birdie at the first, but he then proceeded to give the three ...

Scottish teenage sensation Connor Graham excitedly jets out to Rome on Friday with his Junior Ryder Cup team-mates looking forward to ending a six straight and now 17-year long European losing streak to their American rivals. Graham, who turns 17 at the end of next month, wound-up his Rome preparations sharing 22nd place after receiving an invitation to contest the Tartan Tour’s St. Andrews Classic but ending in bright and extremely windy third and final round conditions on the Jubilee Course at ...

Immediate past captain Padraig Harrington has handed Robert MacIntyre a glowing confidence lift just weeks away from the Ryder Cup in Rome. MacIntyre, along with England’s Tommy Fleetwood, earned the final two automatic qualifying spots into Luke Donald’s European side and with MacIntyre a first Scot since Stevie Gallacher in 2014 to be pulling on the European team colours. Harrington, and a playing veteran of six European Teams, led Europe two years into battle along the shores of Lake Michigan ...

Earlier this year the DP World Tour debuted the Hero Cup featuring a 10-man GB & I team going up against a similar number of Europe players competing over three days in Abu Dhabi. The Hero Cup was a mirror of the long-running Seve Trophy that brought European Tour players together in a Ryder Cup like atomsphere and help prepare them for possible Ryder Cup-like competition should they qualify or be picked to represent Europe in a Ryder Cup. Of the 20 players who teed-up January in the UAE capital ...

European captain Luke Donald has surprised many in handing young Swedish superstar-in-the-making Ludvig Aberg as one of his six ‘wildcard’ picks to take to Rome later this. Aberg, 23, brilliantly captured last Sunday’s Omega European Masters and in only his ninth event as a professional, and a fifth on the DP World since making his debut as an amateur at the 2018 Nordic Masters. Fleetwood’s other picks were Tommy Fleetwood, Sepp Straka, Justin Rose, Shane Lowry and Nicolai ...
