Ramsay, and after an indifferent double-bogey start and then ending with a closing hole bogey, posted a two-under par 69 and move to seven-under par on last year’s victorious European Ryder Cup host venue. Belgium’s big-hitting ...

Justin Rose will aim to become the first player in almost two decades to win three consecutive European Tour tournaments when he defends his title at the Turkish Airlines Open – the sixth Rolex Series event of the European Tour’s 2019 Race to Dubai – on November 7-10, 2019.

Richie Ramsay looks to have ended a horror French Open run of outs in posting a score of 66 to be just one shot off the lead after day one in Versailles.

We all have some form of complaint or other in life, and something that gets on your nerve. Well, four-time Major winning Rory McIlroy had a slight ‘dig’ at President Donald Trump in being asked about his own pet complaint. McIlroy was speaking on the latest ‘Rory and Carson’ podcast and was asked about a complaint appearing on his Instagram account in declaring: “You do not golf, you play golf.” It comes as a surprise that the Northern Irishman should be so irritated when he hears ...
