Shane Lowry has delivered Dubai Duty Free Irish Open organisers a huge boost confirming he will contest the event later this month at Galgorm Castle resort in Ballymena. Lowry has been undecided if he’ll contest the September 24th starting event that will be played under a continuing European Tour policy of no spectators. The reigning Open champ, however, confirmed his intentions to tee-up in Ireland’s premier event ahead of his week’s Safeway Open in California “I am going to play the Irish ...

Justin Thomas has edged out Spaniard Jon Rahm to capture his second PGA of America Player of the Year Award, presented by the PGA of America for excellence by a PGA TOUR professional. Strangely, Dustin Johnson who won three of his last eight PGA Tour 2019/20 season events, including Monday’s Tour Championship title, did not figure in the final PGA of American standings. Thomas, and who also won three season events, earned his second career PGA Player of the Year honor and first since 2017. Thomas ...

Dustin Johnson was in a class all his own in marching to an emphatic double Tour triumph in capturing the season-ending Tour Championship and landing the FedEx Cup No. 1 title. Johnson headed home to Florida a mind-blowing $US 15m richer in posting a closing round 68 and win by three shots with a 21-under par victory tally on the East Lake course. Fellow Tour Championship champ, Xander Schauffele (67) and Justin Thomas (66) shared second place at 18-under par. Spaniard Jon Rahm (66) was fourth on ...

Scottish No. 1 Robert MacIntyre reckons he could not have asked for a better warm-up ahead of next week’s maiden U.S. Open than the ‘brutal’ test he faced at last week’s Andalucia Masters. MacIntyre arrived back in Oban yesterday (MON) morning after posting a final round one-under par 70 and finishing just inside the top-25  on the tight unforgiving Valderrama course in Spain. It was his best finish by some 25 places in the four events MacIntyre has contested since the lifting of the lockdown. MacIntyre ...

After the thrill and the excitement of a day earlier, Rory McIlroy seemed to be running on the smell of an oily rag on day two of the Tour Championship in Atlanta. McIlroy had lit-up the East Lake course with Friday’s round of 64 that matched his best scores in 25 rounds of the PGA Tour’s season-ending event. Saturday’s second day seemed as flat as the continuing ‘no spectator’ policy as McIlroy went through the motions in posting a no frills one-over par 71, Included in McIlroy’s round ...

What a superb blank canvas handed to Thierry Sprecher and Gery Watine when afforded the opportunity to work together in designing Golf de Servanes – https://golfservanes.com/ Golf de Servanes is located in the south of France around halfway between Arles and Aix-en-Provence and roughly an hour’s drive north-west of Marseille. What makes Golf de Servanes so magnificent is that the course is laid out right at the foot of the Alpilles mountain range that is about 25 km long by about 8 to ...

Listen to Martin Kaymer speak is a glowing message of consciouness. Put simply, Kaymer is aware and after letting slip victory last Sunday following a poor tee shot at the 71st hole, Kaymer looked back on video of that final round and realised what he had done wrong that led to missing out on the play-off and settle for a share of third place at The Belfry. Having learnt from that small yet simple mistake, Kaymer is a vastly different golfer and opponent now heading to day four of the Andalucia Masters. American ...
