Rory McIlroy will look to ride Hurricane Hermine to victory in the final round of the Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston.

Australia’s Scott Hend is just one round from reaching the summit of the Omega European Masters at Cran-sur-Sierre in Switzerland. But while the Queenslander has won twice already this season in Thailand and for a total of 13 victories in his pro career the 43-year old has yet to taste success in Europe. Indeed, Hend has eight victories in Asia, three in Australia and one in the States. He will take a one-shot lead into the final round high in the Swiss Alps after forcing his way from a shot ...
