Top-ranked Scot Robert MacIntyre has withdrawn from this week’s Irish Open admitting he’s ‘crushed, battered and bruised’ a brutal U.S. Open mauling at Winged Foot. MacIntyre, 24, will arrive back to Scotland Monday having posted a final round nine-over par 79 for a 21-over tally to share 56th place among the remaining 61 in the field. The Scot ended his round some 30-minutes before the final group teed-up ahead of packing-up his belongings, and along with his mother Carol, coach Davy Burns, ...

Former Italian teenage sensation Matteo Manassero has ended a seven-year winless drought to capture the Toscana Alps Open on the Alps Tour. Manassero holed a birdie putt on the last to win for a first time since capturing 2013 since capturing the European Tour’s flagship BMW PGA Championship. The now 27-year old posted rounds of 63, 65 and 66 for a 19-under par 54-hole total on the Golf Club Toscana at Grooseto. The Italian created history in 2009, and at age 16, in becoming the youngest winner ...

Bryson ‘The Scientist’ DeChambeau turned meteorologist in adding a two-under par 68 to his opening 69 and be proudly sharing second place at three-under the end of round two at Winged Foot. Former Masters champ, Patrick Reed birdied the last in a round of 70 to lead the field by a shot at four-under par. DeChambeau, 27 and contesting a 17th career major and a sixth U.S. Open, brilliantly eagled his last hole but after what was a roller-coaster showing where remarkably on four occasion he posted ...

Shane Lowry superbly birdied his closing two holes to muscle his way into the weekend rounds of the U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Lowry posted a gutsy level par 70 to remain at five-over par and head to the clubhouse then sharing 84th place and then right on the halfway cut line. Moments later, and just as fellow Irishman Rory McIlroy teed-off, Lowry found himself up into a share of 78th and with the cut-off mark six-over eventually being confirmed just after 7pm local US time. And while the Clara golfer ...

James Sugrue returns home to Mallow still undecided when he will turn professional in posting rounds of 78 and 79 for a 17-over par tally at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Sugrue, 23 failed to record a birdie on day one but then grabbed three of day two including landing a 141-yard second shot into just four-feet and then rolled in the birdie ‘3’ putt at his final hole. Unfortunately, it was an eventful outward nine of two birdies, at the seventh and ninth holes, but also included a pair of bogeys ...

Connor Syme proudly heads home from Winged Foot a little battered and bruised but already eagerly looking forward to many more U.S. Open appearances in his career. Syme was headed south to New York City and a return flight to the UK after posting a pair of five-over par 75s for a 10-over par total and falling shy by some three shots in playing all four rounds in a maiden US major. The 25-year Drumoig golfer ended Thursday’s opener at five-over par with still a hole to play when USGA officials called ...

A lost ball in the rough and a ball stuck up a tree and both leading to double-bogeys. It’s the sort of story to be heard in any clubhouse following a Saturday morning medal round. Though in this case it was just two holes in a whole golf bag full of ups-and-downs for four-time major winning Jordan Spieth in posting a three-over par 73 on the opening day of the U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Spieth had bogeyed the first but then lost a ball down the right side of the second but without the aid of spectators, ...
