Two of McIlroy’s biggest wins on the now named DP World Tour have come on the Earth Course at the Jumeirah Estates in Dubai, and that should have been three if not for the shirt-ripping exercise that followed his implosion last November up the last in Dubai. A strong feature, as most TV ...

Rory McIlroy will jet into San Antonio tomorrow morning US local time for a first visit to ‘The Alamo’ city in nine years. It will be the first of two weeks where a victory prize is also an item of much sought-after clothing, with the Valero Texas Open winner being fitted with a stylish pair of cowboy boots and I don’t need to remind you what the winner a week later in Augusta also slips into. We’ve known since early last month that McIlroy will tee up on the Greg Norman-designed The ...

Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson was right at home marveling in the Scottish-like conditions to brilliantly capture a maiden Tour victory at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha. Ferguson, 25, bravely fought back from a second hole double-bogey to sensationally chip-in for eagle at the 16th and celebrate also his first pro career victory with a closing round 70 for a one-shot win at seven-under on the sunny but windswept Doha Golf Club course. The Glaswegian also celebrates the Tour’s 50th anniversary ...

Ewen Ferguson is going to again draw strongly on his Scottish golf up-bringing if he’s to capture the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in windswept Doha. Ferguson produced a timely 16th hole birdie in a round of 73 to drop to five-under-par, but trails just three shots off the lead on the exposed Doha Golf Club course. England’s Matthew Jordan birdied three of closing four holes in a score of 70 to be tied at the top on eight-under par with Poland’s Adrien Meronk, who birdied the last for a third ...

Seamus Power left the Lone Star State with his head proudly held high despite the disappointment of missing-out on a semi-final start at the WGC – Dell Match-Play in Austin, Texas. Power went down 3 & 2 to World No. 5 Scottie Schefffler but he comes away with a golf bag brimming with positives and none better than knowing his next event is the 2022 Masters. The 35-year-old should jump five places to a career high of World No. 43 and with that the assurance of a first Masters and a maiden major ...
