American Patrick Reed has shown he’s serious about looking to capture this year’s European Tour Race to Dubai victory crown as evident with the current No. 1 on the Tour’s money list crossing ‘The Pond’ to tee-up in this week’s BMW PGA Championship, the third Rolex Series event of 2020. The 2018 Masters winning hero has won eight times in his pro career but is yet to taste victory in a regular European Tour event but that could all change this week on the famed ...

Invaluable! This was Aaron Rai’s response when asked how valuable was the experience of finishing runner-up in last week’s Dubai Duty Free to capturing the ASI Scottish Open. Rai, 25 secured a first Rolex Series victory event and a second European Tour title of his career after both he and fellow Englishman found themselves in play-off on the Renaissance course to the east of Edinburgh. Rai was on the practice range following a final round 64 for an 11-under par tally when Fleetwood brilliantly ...

Padraig Harrington battled his way through the pain barrier to record a best European Tour result in two-years with a gutsy ninth-place finish at the ASI Scottish Open. Harrington tweaked his neck ahead of teeing-off but then went out to post a best round of his week, a four-under 67 that included a 16th eagle on the Renaissance course to the east of Edinburgh. No such pain for England’s Aaron Rai, and who had been in contention for much of last week’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, going one better ...

Aussie Lucas Herbert brilliantly regrouped in posting a final round 65 and a round that was 14 shots fewer a day earlier at the ASI Scottish Open at the Renaissance course to the east of Edinburgh. Herbert. 24 had charged his way into an early last day clubhouse lead at nine-under par before eventually settling for a share of fourth place at nine-under and two shy of the England duo of Aaron Rai (64) and Tommy Fleetwood (67) who headed into a play-off at 11-under par. Rai then captured a maiden Rolex ...

Paul Lawrie ended his main European Tour career clearly suffering with back pain that has dogged his career over the past few years to post a 79 for a 10-over tally on day two of the ASI Scottish Open on the Renaissance course to the east of Edinburgh. Lawrie, 51 was seen whistling as he arrived at the course and then after a final drive down the 18th, he also broke into whistling and heard remarking:  “Everything will be fine as long as Aberdeen beats St. Mirren tonight”. The proud ...

As Australia’s Lucas Herbert moved into the clubhouse lead on day two of the ASI Scottish Open it was not lost that there was a fellow Australian walking with Herbert around the Renaissance course to the east of Edinburgh. Wayne ‘Radar’ Riley is one of the real characters working for SKY Sports Golf and he’s brought a down-to-earth approach to on-course TV commentary whether on the European Tour or PGA Tour. Of course, there’s many a time when Radar has left his fellow ...

Martin Laird grabbed five birdies in a four-under par 68 to be inside the top-10 early on day one of the PGA Tour’s $US 6.6m Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi. The now Denver-based Scot, and competing in a third of the four new 2020/21 season events, capped his round to be four-under after 13 holes before his only bogey at 14 ahead of a penultimate hole birdie. The Scot was in the clubhouse as the leading European and trailing just four shots behind the American duo of Jimmy ...
