After so long in the golfing darkness, Chris Wood has finally attracted the DP World Tour limelight and thanks to those admistering the Turkish Airlines Open. If not for their generatous invitation, Wood would probably be back home in Bristol wondering where he will be competing next but now after a closing round 64 for a hard-earning top-10 finish (fingers crossed) in Antalya Wood could be headed to next fortnight’s Soudal Open at Anterp in Belgium. Wood’s effort of 64 was a his lowest ...

Aussie rules as Lucas Herbert sensationally eagled the closing hole for a second day running and storm to a five shot success in the US$2 million International Series Japan presented by Moutai. Herbert, 29, posted a final round 64 for a 20-under victory total on the host Caledonian Golf Club in Chiba, five ahead of his playing partners Yuta Sugiura and Younghan Song. Sugiura played solid golf and was bogey-free for the third time in four days, but his putter let him down in a round of 69. He was ...

It’s nearly six years since this journalist walked the final 18 holes of the 2019 Open Championship in the company of Shane Lowry’s proud father at Royal Portrush. Brendan Lowry is an Irish sporting legend in his own right but on this day he admitted to me he was a little shy to been seen inside the ropes following his son to victory in golf’s oldest major. I was working with the R & As media team and having met Brendan on a number of occasions, I encouraged him to forget any ...

Scot Ewen Ferguson has moved up into business class and now well in contention for the Turkish Airlines Open title at Antalya along the Mediterranean coastline in Turkey. After the disappointment of dropping two shots over his closing few holes on day one, Ferguson superbly bounced back to grab four birdies in a bogey-free 67 for a share of eighth place on six-under on the host Regnum Caya course. Frenchman Martin Couvra opened up a two-shot lead thanks to a 66 and moved to 11-under as the impressive ...

It’s been nearly two years since Rickie Fowler last tasted success on the PGA Tour but that could end this week after his superb opening round of 63 on day one of the Truist Championship in PA. Fowler, 36, ended the opening round just two shots adrift of fellow American Keith Mitchell who signed for a sizzling career best nine-under 61 on the host Cricketers Club course in suburban Philadelphia. “Kept it simple”, was Fowler’s initial comment post his round that included six ...
