Harold Varner 111s victory putt was so long it needed a visa with the American sensationally denying good friend and double Masters winning Bubba Watson to capture the Saudi International. Varner 111 first landed his second shot into the downwind par-5 18th just on the front edge of the green in two and then putting to a pin located the back left corner on the Royal Greens course. The American, one behind on the final tee, just needed to two-putt the last to ensure a play-off. What happened next ...

... Fatiha Betscher, Al Hamra, RAK  Scotland’s David Law saw a three-shot lead early on day three end in being three behind heading to the last round of the inaugural Ras Al Khaimah Championship in the northern-most UAE emirate. Law, 30, was well in command on the stunning Al Hamra course albeit for the three closing holes when hotshot Danish twin Nicolai Hojgaard muscled his way past the Scot thanks to three closing birdies in an eight-under-par 64. Hojgaard leads at 20-under par and with ...

For more than a decade Brad Kennedy has plied his trade on the Japan Tour. It may surprise people the now 47-year-old has won 15-times in his career and with three of those in Japan, and the latest being the 2018 Shigeo Nagashima Invitational Sega Sammy Cup. I guess it’s fair to say this quietly-spoken Queenslander has gone about his golf without fanfare or regular news of his endeavors in Japan, which is in stark contrast to his Aussie compatriots competing on the PGA Tour or the DP World Tour. It’s ...

It is surprising in checking that it’s been over two years since Tommy Fleetwood last toasted a victory success An eighth career victory was, in fact, a play-off win at the 2019 Nedbank Challenge in South Africa, and after he remarkably posted three eagles of his last day at Sun City. It was a wind that lifted Fleetwood to 10th on the World Rankings but this week he arrived as No. 47 in the world. Now, and heading to the final round, the 31-year-old is in contention for victory at the Saudi ...

American Harold Varner 111 continued to fight the off-shore Red Sea winds the best retaining his lead in signing for a two-under-par 68 and retaining a one-shot lead at 12-under-par. Spaniard Ardi Arnaus also holds down his second place in the $5m event shooting a 69 and edge to 10-under, and with England’s Tommy Fleetwood continuing to edge closer to the first win in over two years signing for 67 to be a 10-under. Double Saudi winning Dustin Johnson, and like Fleetwood, birdied the last also in ...

In any marriage break-up, there are always two sides to the story. It is no different in golf as we are now seeing with the strained relations between the DP World Tour and the Asian Tour. The two tours have been very close golf tournament staging companions since the inaugural co-sanctioned European and Asian tour event in 1999 at the Maybank Malaysian Open. However, this 23-year partnership is, in the view of Asian Tour Commissioner Cho Minn Thant, ‘icy’, and suggestions from the Singapore-based ...

…… Fatiha Betscher, Al Hamra, RAK  Scotland’s David Law was soaring high with two eagles and sending him into a two-shot lead heading to the weekend rounds of the inaugural Ras Al Khaimah Championship in the UAE emirate. Law, 30, chipped in for an eagle ‘3’ at the par-5 14th, and the fifth hole of his round, and then did the same at his 17th hole and the par-eighth hole, by sending a 17-yard pin high chip shot to the bottom of the cup in a stunning round of 64 to head the ...
