Rose Suggests Europe Needs To Move Forward Choosing Not To Draw On LIV Rebels

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, ...

Frustration For MacIntyre As Kim Shines In Cazoo French Open Downpour

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.

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 ...
