A week after Geoff Ogilvy wrapped-up his PGA Tour card and Adelaide’s Wade Ormsby has gone closer to achieving the same on the European Tour. Ormsby bravely collected this second top-10 result in succession, and his third of the year, in sharing sixth place in the Made in Denmark. The 37-year old had stormed to a share of the lead on day one in the Danish event thanks to sizzling 64 and while he shot a day two 72, Ormsby superbly regrouped to add subsequent rounds of 67 and 69 for a 12-under ...

Glen Oaks, Long Island, NY … Rory McIlroy will head to the defence of his Deutsche Bank Championship on the outskirts of Boston later this week very confident the smallest club in his bag is not his biggest conern. With a round to contest in the Northern Trust on New York’s Long Island the World No. 4 trails in an uncharacteristic share of 34th place at one-under. But while McIlroy may be trailing nine shots behind fellow Open Champion, Jordan Spieth the Northern Irishman is near the ...

For England’s Paul Casey to capture the Northern Trust he knows the American duo of Open Champikon Jordan Spieth and World No. 1 Dustin Johnson have to ‘falter’. For a second end-of-season running Casey has put himself in position to win one of the four FedEx Cup Play-Off events. His third round four-under 66 in bright conditons on the Glen Oaks course at Old Westbury on New York’s Lon Island delivered Casey the then clubhouse lead at seven under par. However by day’s ...

Old Westbury, Long Island, NY … It was a big sporting day for World No. 4 Rory McIlroy not just on the golf course for round three of the Northern Trust but later glued to the ‘box’ throughout the afternoon and into Saturday evening. McIlroy was on the Glen Eagles course when his beloved Manchester United made it two wins from just as many new season events in humbling Leicester City 2-nil. McIlroy was then looking forward, but with plenty of Irish apprehension, to Conor McGregor ...

Adelaide’s Wade Ormsby has not ruled over victory given he is only four shots from the lead heading into the final round of the Made in Denmark. After starting with a birdie but then bogeying his next two holes the racecar fan found top-gear with back-to-back at the fourth and fifth holes on the Himmerland Golf and Spa Resort course. Ormsby then bogeyed the ninth hole for a second day running but again managed to put the foot down and move to the overtaking lane with three birdies in succession ...

Glen Oaks, Long Island, NY … Martin Laird is clearly enjoying the assurance of having his young family around in getting himself into contention at the Northern Trust. Laird added a second straight one-under par 69 to move into a clubhouse share of 14th place at two-under in glorious conditions on the Glen Oaks course and some 26 miles from Manhatton and the heart of New York City. The Scot trailed just four shots behind the leading foursome of World No. 1 Dustin Johnson (69) along with Rickie ...

Old Westbury, Long Island, NY … Jason Day produced what he described was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde display on day two of the Notrthern Trust at Glen Oaks on New York’s Long Island. Day commenced his round at one-under par but found himself two over for the tournament when he bogeyed the first and then at the par five third hole, and the longest on the course at 625-yards, he was in the trees right with no option but to chip out and finding the left rough. He eventually reached the back ...
