The sight of Rory McIlroy wearing red pants on the final day of the Australian Open failed to fire the World No. 1.

McIlroy commenced his round after a pair of opening 69s to be at four under par and just one shot from the lead. But what then transpired over the next four-and-a-half hours was pure golfing drama and leaving McIlroy no chance of joining Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player as the only non-Australian born ...

There was a fitting tribute from the Emirates Australian Open and also the Open Championship to the late Phil Hughes at the Australian Club this morning. Hughes, a former Australian Test cricketer, never regained consciousness after being struck in the neck by a cricket ball in a domestic match at the nearby Sydney Cricket Ground. The 25-year old, who had been hoping to regain his place in the team for next week’s Test match against India, passed away on Thursday after failing to recover from ...

There was a double dose of water torture for World No. 1 Rory McIlroy on route to ending the day in a share of second place at four under par day two of the Emirates Australian Open at the Australian Club in Sydney. McIlroy went into the second round well placed at two under par but after two opening pars he posted back-to-back bogeys including putting his tee shot at the long par three fourth hole into the water from where he took a bogey. The World No. 1 did bounce back with a birdie at the par ...
