Scotland’s top-ranked Robert MacIntyre spoiled any hope of a third straight Masters invitation after a lifeless final round in the Magical Kenya Open in Nairobi. The Oban lefty was left lamenting, managing just two birdies in a closing score of 70 to eventually finish in a distant share of seventh at 13-under on the host Muthaiga course. Spaniard Jorge Campillo grabbed a fourth Tour win, and his first since March 2019, when he denied Border’s David Drysdale over five extra play-off holes ...

Ireland’s top-three golfers will be formally confirmed tomorrow (Monday) for next fortnight’s final hosting of the WGC – Dell Match-Play at Austin, Texas but the question is whether McIlroy will contest this final hosting of the event for a first time since 2019.

Aussie Wade Ormbsy triumphantly climbed to the summit of the host Black Mountain course to claim a stunning fourth Asian Tour victory, winning on the first hole of a sudden-death play-off at the International Series Thailand. Ormsby, 42, holed a 12-foot birdie putt at the par-five 18th while rookie Chonlatit Chonlatit missed his birdie attempt from eight feet. The Adelaide-born Ormsby had trailed Chonlatit, the clubhouse leader on 20-under, by one shot with three holes to play before moving into ...

Top Scot Robert MacIntyre could be staring at a Masters invitation quandary should he capture the Magical Kenya Open in Nairobi. MacIntyre muscled his way to within one shot of the lead with an equally impressive second straight round of 65, moving to 12-under and just one adrift of Jorge Campillo after the Spaniard birdied his closing four holes in an eight-under 63 for a 13-under tally on the host Muthaiga course. It was three years ago last Thursday that the now 36-year-old Spaniard denied Eyemounth ...

Scot Calum Hill looks back to his best, producing a lowest round in nearly 18 months on day two of the Magical Kenya Open in Nairobi. Hill, 28, grabbed an eagle and six birdies in a sizzling seven-under 64 and heads to the weekend just three off the lead held by Spaniard Nacho Elvira who finished birdie, birdie and eagle in a round of 65 to snatch the lead at 10-under on the host Muthaiga course. Elvira’s eagle at the last upstaged three players – Germany’s Nick Bachem (67), Japan’s Ryo ...

Seamus Power revealed after missing the halfway cut at the Players Championship, he’ll spend Monday playing a practice round at Augusta National. It will be only a second time, and since his second event last October, just after the start of the 2022/23 wraparound season that the affable Irishman will sit out the weekend rounds in a Tour event and this week being his 12th start and this after posting scores of 74 and 76 for a six-over tally on the host TPC Sawgrass course. Included in Power’s ...
