Lone Scot David Drysdale brilliantly lit-up the opening round of the Asian Tour’s SJM Macao Open to share the lead with a bogey-free nine-under 62. The Asian Tour rookie proudly headed to the clubhouse after a round, and under a preferred lie rule, that produced nine birdies to be tied at the top with Aussie Min Woo Lee, and with Lee the current World No. 46 and highest-ranked in the field. Drysdale’s effort included an outward nine of 30 and with the Borders golfer producing four birdies ...

s proud mum Susan to make it an historic ‘mother and son’ victory double at the rain-affected Alfred Dunhill Links Championship here in St. Andrews. Fitzpatrick, and playing in his first event since being a member of last week’s victorious European Ryder Cup side, produced a final round of a six-under 66 over the famed Old Course to win by three shots at 19-under-par and in the event where two full days were lost and, as such, was reduced to three rounds. Three players – Kiwi ...

The 2023 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship looks destined to be reduced to 36-holes with Carnoustie, and one the three host courses in this year’s $US 5m tournament, seriously under rain water. Carnoustie is one of the three host courses and has been on board since the inagural event in 2001. However, images and video footage taken earlier today show the County Angus course virtually an inland sea of rain water. As most golf fans will be aware the famed Barry Burn cuts its way through the famed ...

The prestigious Alfred Dunhill Links has been washed-out for a second day running as persistant rain continues to drench much of Scotland. It has been raining steady since early evening on Friday and now nearly 40 hours later there is no sign in a let-up of the wet weather leading not only to flooding on the three host courses but with local flooding of roadways, railway lines, farms and property. Disappointingly it is a second day of no play in this year’s $US 5m event being played over the ...

It’s time Tiger Woods stepped-up to accept the 2025 USA Ryder Cup captaincy. That’s the view of fellow American and good friend Billy Horschel in adding to a growing chorus that Woods would be the ideal candidate for the captaincy of the American side in two years time at Bethpage Park at Farmingdale on New York’s Long Island. Woods may have a poor Ryder Cup record in terms of Ryder Cup appearances, playing in just one winning Stars and Stripes team and that being in 1999 at ...

Victorious European Ryder Cup hero Tommy Fleetwood was not only disappointed with his day’s play but revealed he had to retire his victoirous Rome winning driver after cracking its face during the second round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. It was Fleetwood who holed the winning putt that sealed Europe’s eventual five-point vicvtory on the host Marco Simone course. However the proud Englishman was sounding a little disheartned following his second round one-over par 73 for ...

Padraig Harrington is on the committee to select the next European Ryder Cup captain and in singing the praise of victorious Rome captain Luke Donald he’s strongly backing Donald to stay on for 2025. Harrington was not in Rome instead, and somewhat disappointingly, Europe’s immediate past captain spent the weekend at home, glued to the couch watching TV coverage of Europe’s successful Roman conquest. “I was thrilled with the result last week .. Oh yes”, he said. “I was at home watching ...
