David Drysdale enters the final round of his ‘Last Chance Saloon’ hopeful of it being victory drinks all round at the close of the Portugal Masters. Drysdale kept alive hopes of retaining his DP World Tour card posting a super bogey-free third round 65 to move into a share of eighth place at 14-under and while trailing eight shots from the lead. England’s Jordan Smith remains the man to catch despite taking a bogey at the last in a blistering round of 62 to head the field by two shots at 22-under-par. Drysdale ...

Ireland’s affable Seamus Power, sporting what he hopes will be lucky Emerald Isle green coloured shoelaces, was not deterred by the wet and miserable conditions to remain very much in contention heading to the weekend rounds of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. Power added a second straight six-under 66 and escaped the rain by heading to the comfort of the Port Royal clubhouse then sharing fourth place at 12-under-par and only two shots from the lead as the afternoon half of the draw headed ...

No-one can question David Drysdale’s determination, superbly fighting his way into the closing two rounds of the Portugal Masters despite the threat of losing his Tour card hanging heavy over the Scot. Drysdale, and out in the penultimate group on day two, bravely added a three-under 68 to be the leading Scot and just outside the top-20 at eight-under on the host Dom Pedro Victoria course at Vilamoura. It leaves the 47-year-old trailing just five shots off the 13-under lead shared by Malaysian ...

​Tournament top world-ranked ​Seamus Power ​delighted in joining the birdie barrage on day one of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship. ​The World No. 48 ranked Power grabbed eight birdies, including a run of six birdies in 12 holes and then two over his closing three, in a superb six-under-par tally 65 ​in the stillest of conditions ​on the host Port Royal course. It handed the Waterford golfer, and contesting the Bermudian tournament for a fourth year in succession, a then clubhouse ...

A penultimate hole eagle has David Law soaring not only into a first season-ending event next month in Dubai but also a hopeful of a second Tour victory at the Portugal Masters. Scottish-born Law holed a super 15-foot putt for a ‘3’ at the par-5 17th hole for an impressive bogey-free six-under 65 on the rain-softened Dom Pedro Victoria course at Vilamoura on the Algarve. England’s Jordan Smith, who eagled his 14th hole and also grabbed seven birdies in an even more impressive 62, heads ...

Seamus Power finds himself in a most unique situation heading into this week’s PGA Tour Butterfield Bermuda Championship. It is a first occurrence in his 138 Tour events, dating back to his ​Tour ​debut nearly six-years ago, that Power​ finds himself being the only player ranked inside the world’s top-50​​. This time a week ago, Rory McIlroy commanded much of the attention in his quest to get back to World No. 1 and a feat he attained, now a week on and the current World No. 48 ranked ...

For new World No. 1 Rory McIlroy, it was going to bed last April without any dinner in a Texas hotel that helped whet his appetite to get back to being the game’s best. McIlroy may have bogeyed his closing two holes in successfully defending the CJ Cup but his win, helped by the reigning World No. 1 American Scottie Scheffler ending well down the field, was good enough for McIlroy to return to the top of the world rankings. It’s the ninth occasion since March 4th, 2012 McIlroy has topped ...
