What’s there not to like after you go really low on your first visit to Japan? Ireland’s Seamus Power could not have been more happier after posting a PGA Tour career low to be right in contention heading to the weekend rounds of the ZoZo Championship and on his first visit to Japan. In his 186th Tour event, Power brilliantly snatched eight birdies to muscle his way into a share of fourth place and just three off the lead on the host Narashino Country Club course at Chiba. Power, 37, ...

Scott Jamieson has continued his good form soaring into a share of second place thanks to an eagle finish after the opening round of the Genesis Championship at Incheon and close to Seoul in South Korea. Jamieson had just birdied the 17th hole to move to three-under-par when he chipped-in at the closing par-5 18th and a score of 67 on the host Jack Nicklaus course. The effort handed the Florida-based Scot a seven-way tie at five-under and only a shot adrift of Spaniard Ivan Cantero. Jamieson’s ...

It is remarkable that 25 years have now passed – October 25th, 1999 – when Payne Stewart and five others tragically lost their lives. There is sadness in everyone’s life losing a loved-one or a close friend but when it comes to losing those with whom you have met in the course of your work and also with whom you had estabished a warm rapport and friendship then it kind of makes it all a little different. Akin to losing a member of your family. That’s what I have always said ...

“Be Part Of The Magic” was the promo running all the way down both sides of the Emirates A380 airliner carrying some 70 Race to Dubai players along with caddies and officials that flew last Sunday from Spain and touching down some 16 hours later in Seoul, South Korea. The charter flight carried the hopes of all seeking to satisfy different goals in this week’s official final ‘regular’ event of the 2024 DP World Tour season ahead two limited field UAE events in the first ...

Top Scottish golfer Grant Forrest has revealed his expectant wife is due to give birth to the couple’s first child on the final day of next month’s DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Forrest and wife Christy were married in January in a lavish ceremony at Archerfield House and not far from where the couple now reside. However, despite the wonderful out-pouring of joy at the wedding ceremony it’s not been, and by Forrest’s own admission, his best golfing season and capped by ...

Recent headlines of spectator price rises for the hosting of the 2025 Ryder Cup took my mind back a good few years and the day we were extended the invitation to tee-up on the famed host Bethpage Park Black course. Actually, it was just over six years ago the PGA of America generously arranged a media outing in August 2018 ahead of the 2019 PGA Championship, and when Brooks Koepka was handed the Rodman Wanamaker trophy for a second straight year. I had taken photographs from the outing that I found ...
