MacIntyre Travels To The Land Of The Rising Sun Looking To Arrest Flagging World Ranking

Bob MacIntyre has joined the DP World Tour on an historic first visit to the Land of the Rising Sun looking to arrest his flagging World Ranking.

I have a Ryder Cup theme question following Matt Fitzpatrick’s brilliant triumph at the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head in South Carolina. Fitzpatrick denied defending champ Jordan Spieth with a birdie at the third extra hole on the host Sea Pines course, banking the cool $3.6m first prize cheque, and $360,000 more than Jon Rahm won a week earlier in capturing the 87th hosting of the Masters.
