Scot Richie Ramsay reckons a rework of the greens and the forecasted conditions are ripe for a hopeful fifth Scottish-born winner of the CB Qatar Masters in Doha. Ramsay, 40, superbly muscled his way into contention on day two to be six-under in a five-hole run on route to an eventual three-under 69 for a one-under tally in continuing warm but windy conditions in the Qatar capital. Aussie Haydn Barron birdied the closing three holes on the scorecard for a second day running in a second day 67 ...

Top-ranked Scot Bob MacIntyre wasted little time heading off to Arizon after grabbing the last place into Thursday’s starting WM Phoenix Open in Arizona. The Oban lefty was fifth reserve last Friday for $US 8.8m (£6.97m) event but a number or withdrawals, including out-of-form World No. 4 Viktor Hovland and the latest being American Kevin Streelman, who withdrew late on Tuesday (US time) has opened the door for MacIntyre. It meant the now Orlando-based MacIntyre boarding a flight early Wednesday ...

Shane Lowry seems revved-up to end a 12-year absence with confirmation he will contest next month’s second hosting of the Porsche Singapore Classic. Local organisers confirmed Lowry’s appearance in the event taking place from March 21st to 24th on the host Laguna National course on the island nation. The $US 2.5m event will be the first of five tournaments on the DP World Tour’s ‘International Swing’ and with the event up against the Valspar Championship on the PGA Tour. ALL ...

Frenchman Matthieu Pavon has created another French first to be leading the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup points race after the final round of the already weather-affected AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was cancelled. Pavon, brilliant winner of last fortnight’s Farmers Insurance Open, was just two shots off the lead when strong winds and driving rain ruled-out any chance of play getting underway on Sunday in the $20m ‘Signature Series’ event. The Tour then issued a statement late into ...

Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth are seemingly back on the same page following the American’s pre-AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am comments concerning the status of the potential deal between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund and also his sensitive ‘anti-McIlroy’ remarks. After more than two years of headlines for all the wrong reasons in the men’s professional game the last thing you would expect is that PGA Tour allies McIlroy and Spieth would need ...

Scott Jamieson’s quietly-confident of taming the continuing strong desert Shamal winds heading into the weekend rounds of the Bahrain Championship. The Jacksonvillle-based Scot toughed-out the winds on day two of the inaugural event posting a one-under 71 for a two-round six-under tally on the host Royal Golf course on the oil-rich Middle East island. It left Jamieson trailing just three adrift of the leading threesome of South African Dylan Frittelli (68), Switzerland’s Joel Girrbach (70) and ...
