For a second occsaion in two years John Murphy returns to the Home of Golf inspired by a Ryder Cup. Murphy sounded energised after spending early last Friday morning to early Sunday evening glued to television cheering on Luke Donald’s Roman golfing gladiators, and including fellow Irish-born Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry, as they took down their American rivals. And why wouldn’t the Kinsale golfer be soaking-in the scenes of last Sunday afternoon, as we all were, as Europe muscled their way to ...

Tiger Woods is now being strongly tipped to take over the USA Ryder Cup captaincy reins in two years time at Bethpage Park on the outskirts of New York. As the USA reels from the nightmare of losing out in Rome, Woods’ name is now surfacing as the 2025 replacement for the hapless Zach Johnson. Johnson’s side promised so much following the Americans record-setting victory two years along the shoreline of Lake Michigan but in the heat of Rome they proved no match for Europe’s band ...

Good friend Calum Hill says Bob MacIntyre’s gladitorial effortrs in helping Europe secure victory in Rome will be inspirational to every Scottish golfer. Like most, Hill said he was glued to the ‘box’ for the three days of competition at the Marco Simone course and where the Gleneagles-attached Scot has competed in the Italian Open over two of the past three years. Hill said: “It was a fanastic win and to be honest with you, I was trying to get in some practice but just found myself on ...

They may have been unceremonously ruled-out of selections but some of the legends of European Ryder Cup and now LIV stars have sung their praise of Luke Donald’s victorious Roman golfing gladitors. Ireland’s Graeme McDowell, and competing this week on the Asian Tour in Singapore, took to social media and like so many of his LIV and former Ryder Cup colleagues to sound his joy. Massive congrats to @LukeDonald and @RyderCupEurope. Exceptional weekend of golf. Loved the emotion from Luke. Dramatic ...

Great news for Scot David Drysdale superbly securing his best finish of a new career season with a share of third in the Asian Tour’s Mercuris Taiwan Masters. Drysdale posted a final round one-under 71 that included three birdies over his closing six holes for an eventual one-under-par tally on a tough Taiwan Country Club course. South African Jaco Ahlers closed with a 69 to win by two shots at four-under. DOUBLE-D GRABS @asiantourgolf BEST … As 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ...

Europe have regained the Ryder Cup with Tommy Fleetwood delivering the win required to secure an emotion-charged victory in Rome. Fleetwood, and a hero four years at the 2018 Ryder Cup in France, headed down the 17th leading 2up against Rickie Fowler and secured the 3 & 1 win in taking the side to 15 points and needing just 14 1/2 points to regain the gleaming gold trophy. YYYYEEEEESSSSSSSSS …. 🇪🇺 #TeamEurope capture 4⃣4⃣th @rydercup ☺️😍 ✅ ...

Rory McIlroy not only lost his Saturday foursomes match but seemingly lost his patience with one of the top American caddies on day three of the Ryder Cup. In scenes sure to stoke tensions ahead of Sunday’s singles, McIlroy accused Patrick Cantlay’s caddie, Joe LaCava, of waving his hat in his line of vision ahead of the European star’s crucial putt on the 18th green in the final fourballs match in near darkness at the Marco Simone course. That incident then spilled over to another heated exchange ...
