Wade Ormsby had just ended his round when he walked past one of the legends of motor racing – Sir Jackie Stewart. Being a fan of motor racing, including Australia’s V8 Supercar Series, Ormsby could not resist the urge to get a photo of himself with Stewart. Of course, Stewart is in town for the final event of the Formula One season at nearby Abu Dhabi. However the Scot was enjoying a day at the golf as guests of Rolex in their corporate box alongside the 18th green and where Stewart was ...

Four-time Major winner Ernie Els arrived in Dubai for this week’s DP World Tour Championship having spent last Friday rubbing shoulders with the mighty South African Springboks rugby side.

Graeme McDowell says he’ll be either dining out on duck or swallowing a dose of despair at this week’s season finale – DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. The Earth Course at Jumeriah Estates hasn’t been McDowell’s greatest friend given he’s failed to break into the top-10 in five prior starts. But after the disappointment of letting slip victory in his last event in Shanghai McDowell is keen to end his 13th full European Tour season lavishing a decent mouthful of the $US 7m prize money. “Shanghai ...

There is not often in Henrik Stenson’s illustrious career he is prepared to accept second but the Sweden will be more than happy to finish runner-up to Rory McIlroy in the European Tour’s Race to Dubai. McIlroy wrapped-up a second Race to Dubai title in three years last Sunday without a shot being struck in this week’s season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. However Stenson, as the event’s defending champion and the out-going European Tour No. 1, is not about to allow his nearest ...

It was around 6.40am last Monday and the day after the Turkish Airlines Open. I had briskly made my way from the Montgomerie Maxx Royal clubhouse and hoping  to be the first to tee off this very calm morning. “Great!” I remarked to myself as I could see no-one down the first fairway. Without even a practice swing I teed off and managed to find the fairway and something I failed to do around a month ago after a session on the range ahead of the AGW Home Internationals. I was now beginning ...

Dustin Johnson looks set to return to competition at next February’s Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines. Johnson’s return, according to sources, would coincide not only with the birth of his child to Paulina Gretzky, but would mark the end of a six-month suspension as reported by www.golf.com that the American was handed in allegedly failing a drugs test. “He has some thoughts but nothing definitive,” said his manager, David Winkle. “It’s all baby dependent. ...

The Great White Shark has offered to put bite back into Ian Poulter’s putting. This is after Poulter missed a 5-foot putt to force a play-off with Brooks Koepka in Sunday’s concluding Turkish Airlines Open in Belek. Poulter shot a final round 67 and vented his frustration at letting slip a first victory this year. “Yes, I’m going to be angry,” he said. “I’ll be angry for a good few days. But that’s fine. I’ll keep myself in my own little ...
