While McGinley was making his Ryder Cup debut at The Belfry, Furyk had played on the previous two USA teams, losing in 1997 but winning in 1999 before also going onto to play in ever Ryder Cup since to now be a veteran ...

Padraig Harrington and Darren Clarke were heading from one side of Florida to the other very much needing a turnaround in fortunes at this week’s Arnold Palmer Invitational in suburban Orlando. The duo, while buoyed by Ireland’s dramatic Six Nations triumph, had little to cheer about following their efforts in the Valspar Championship in Tampa Bay. Harrington exacted some revenge on The Snake Pit with a last hole birdie but struggled under the weight of four earlier bogeys and a third hole double ...

However the 28-year old Scot, who got into a play-off in last fortnight’s Honda Classic, could count himself unlucky after hitting one of his best drives all week that measured 298-yards, but then seeing his ball rested in a divot. And being just 125-yards ...

England’s Charley Hull holed a nerve-wracking four foot birdie putt on the first play-off hole, the par-3 18th at Golf de l’Ocean in Agadir, to earn her first Ladies European Tour victory at the Lalla Meryem Cup in Morocco a week before her 18th birthday. The second year LET member from Kettering in Northamptonshire fired a career-low round of nine-under-par 62 in the final round, coming from five strokes behind overnight leader Gwladys Nocera to tie with the 12-time tournament winner on 15-under-par ...
