Tyrell Hatton has added further insult to Rory McIlroy’s Abu Dhabi pain in elbowing his way past McIlroy into No. 5 on the World Rankings. Hatton continues to make his push to the top of the Rankings pile and is up four places on the back of his comprehensive demolition not only of McIlroy but many of the best in Europe. At the start of last year, the now 29-year-old Englishman was No. 31 in the world and over the past nine months has picked-up victories in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the European ...

For Darren Clarke, it was another case of  the No. 272 bus! Clarke had waited nine years since his 2011 Open Championship victory to win for the first time and that materialised on November 1st last year in capturing the Timber Tech tournament in Boca Raton, Florida on the Champions Tour.

Scotland’s Russell Knox stormed his way to within two shots of the lead with a brilliant bogey-free eight-under par 64 on day three of the American Express event at Palm Springs. Knox capped his round with three birdies in succession from his 13th hole and then seized the lead holing a 14-footer at his last to move to 13-under par on the PGA West course. It left the very affable Scot trailing just two shots behind the leading American duo of Max Homa (65) and Tony Finau (7) and South Korean ...
