The five-time Hero World Challenge champion, while showing no signs of discomfort in walking, ...

Tiger Woods found himself bitten on the back nine for a second day running at the Hero World Challenge. Woods posted a two-under-par 70, five fewer shots than day one, for a one-over par tally on the host Albany course in The Bahamas. He climbed the stairs to the clubhouse then sharing 15th place as four players – Matt Fitzpatrick, Jordan Spieth and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler – were tied for the lead at seven-under late in their rounds.

Scotland’s David Drysdale is confident of teeing-up in next fortnight’s final event of his rookie Asian Tour season. Drysdale, 48, was forced to withdraw from Thursday’s opening round of the Tawian Glass Taifong Open due to a reoccurrence of an old neck injury. The Callaway-attached Drysdale battled through 15 holes in the penultimate event of the year before withdrawing from the host Taifong club. “I was gutted to have to retire and it was an old niggling neck injury”, ...

You can’t blame Robert MacIntyre frankness and not hiding his feelings in twice using the ‘pile of poo’ emoji on his ‘X’ account after his ‘Down Under’ quest to at least secure a Masters invitation nose-dive as he missed the cut in the ISPS Handa Australian Open in Sydney. MacIntyre posted rounds of 70 and a horror second day 77, that included just one birdie but also five bogeys and a double-bogey in his four-over tally to end his year six shots shy of playing all four ...

Red-hot Aussie Min Woo Lee ‘wooed’ crowds with a stunning eagle ‘3’ at the final hole to take a three-shot lead into the closing two round of the ISPS Handa Australian Open in Sydney. Lee, 23, found pine straw in trees down the left side of the 18th hole ahead of playing a 173-metre 9-iron second shot to near tap-in distance at the last, in a round of 64 to move three clear of his rivals at 12-under-par. The highest-ranked player in the co-sanctioned field at World No. 38 ...

Connor Syme is now just two rounds shy of not only a long overdue a first DP World Tour victory but joining a handful to have won both the Australian Amateur and Australian Open victory double. Syme added a second 70 to move into a share of second place at nine-under, tied with American Patrick Rodgers, and three adrift of red-hot Aussie Min Woo Lee who proudly  sits atop of the ISPS Handa board at 12-under-par. Lee, 25, captured last week’s Fortinet Australian PGA Championship and now the ...

Tiger Woods ended a near eight-month competition absence showing a few signs of brilliance but overall, and as he later mentioned, there was also plenty of rust in his game on day one of the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas. Woods walked from the host Albany course after posting three birdies, five bogeys and a 15th hole double-bogey in his round of a three-over 75 to have him lying 18th in the elite $4.5m field of 20. It left him trailing eight shots behind the leading duo of Tony Finau and ...
