Ireland’s Paul Dunne grabbed a narrow narrow points decision rematch over the famed Old Course but the rookie professional could still be facing  another career-defining occasion during Sunday’s final day of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. Dunne, who carded a round of 70, heads to today’s (SAT) third round at Carnoustie sharing third place at 10-under par with three others, including 2014 Ryder Cup winning hero Jamie Donaldson, and just a ...

England 21-year old rookie pro Jimmy Mullen maintains his lead after the second round of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St Andrews. Mullen, competing in his first European Tour event as a professional and revealing his father is Scottish-born but he prefers to represent England, shot an impressive 69 on the Old Course, though he was joined on 11-under-par, late in the day, by fellow Englishman Anthony Wall. One shot further back at 10-under and sharing third place is another brilliant ...

Scotland’s top-ranked Marc Warren bounced straight back from missing cut in last week’s Porsche European Open with a superb four under par 68 at Carnoustie on day one of the Afred Dunhill Links Championship here in Scotland Warren had looked a lone figure last week on the Bad Griesbach practice range but that time on the range paid dividends on a glorious ‘South of Spain’ like day in County Angus. The current World No. 56 posted a four under par 68 to be trailing just four ...

Rookies Jimmy Mullen and Paul Dunne charged into a share of the lead on a remarkable first day of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. The Englishman and Ireland-born Dunne were both playing in their first professional tournaments after helping Great Britain and Ireland win the Walker Cup last month and a pair of 64s at Kingsbarns took them to the top of the leaderboard alongside Swede Kris Broberg who posted the same score at St Andrews.

Paul Dunne is hoping history can repeat itself with the rookie pro looking to follow in the same footsteps of Rory McIlroy and secure his European Tour card at this week’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Eight years ago a then 18–year old McIlroy stood at the back of 18th green on the Old Course watching Scotland’s Paul Lawrie putt for birdie on the final day of the Dunhill-sponsored event. “If Lawrie misses this putt that’s my Tour card,” said McIlroy at the time. Lawrie missed the putt and McIlroy’s third place finish, and also in a  second tournament as a pro, ...

Doherty, who opened with ...
