Exclusive: Ferguson Optimistic Teeing-Up In Joburg After Being Sidelined For A Month.
Ewen Ferguson’s quietly-confident a nagging neck injury will not hinder him teeing-up in this week’s co-sanctioned Joburg Open.
Ferguson, 28, has not competed since withdrawing after just six holes in the opening round of last month’s Qatar Masters in Doha.
The Dubai-based Scot had been struggling with the injury since his solid 16th place in January’s season-opening Hero Dubai Desert Classic but then disappointingly missing the halfway cut in his next two events in Ras Al Khaimah ...

A First Tournament Visit To Joburg & Meet A South African Cricketing Great.
This week’s 2025 Joburg Open being played at the Houghton Club is yet another tournament that brings back fond memories.
It was two weeks into 2000 and my first time in South Africa.
A fortnight earlier I had stood in darkness, apart from the lights of one or two motor vehicles, on the first tee of the Tonga Golf Club and at the stroke of midnight I super-proudly hit the first shot on a golf course in the new Millennium.
Soon after I journeyed from the eastern Pacific Ocean shoreline in Australia, ...

NZ Open Champ Peake Now Hoping Criminal Past Will Not Affect Asian Tour & Royal Portrush Tee Times
Newly-crowned New Zealand Open champion Ryan Peake will be hoping his criminal past will not seriously affect the excitement a new career path.
The 31-year-old Aussie stormed home to capture the 104th hosting of the New Zealand Open trophy thanks to a bogey-free final round 66 to win by a shot at 23-under at the stunning Millford Sound Resort course outside of Queenstown on New Zealand’s South Island.
Peake was soaked in champers by his good friends and in what now is a remarkable story after ...
Arnie’s Grandson Overlooks Spieth & Fowler For Invitations Into Arnold Palmer Invitational.
You will not find top stars Jordan Spieth and Rickie Fowler among the list of those afforded invitations into next week’s $20m Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando.
That’s surprising as one would think the likes of the triple major winning Spieth and Fowler will be great crowd pullers when the event tees-up on Arnie’s beloved Bayhill course.
No, that is not how Steve Saunders and Arnie’s grandson looks at it.
Thanks to colleague and good friend Adam Schupak of Golf Week we ...
Jamieson Looks To End 12-Year Winless Drought Just Two Miles In Durban From Where He Won A First.
Scotland’s Scott Jamieson is just a round shy of ending a 12-year winless drought in Durban, remarkably just two miles from where he captured a first and only victory in South Africa’s third largest city.
Jamieson, 41, grabbed seven birdies including three in succession in a 68 for a 10-under tally in very testing windy conditions on day three of the rain-affected 114th South African Open on the Durban Country Club and virtually just up the road where in December 2012 he won the ...
