Seamus Power has returned home triumphant to his beloved West Waterford Golf Club following last week’s maiden success on the PGA Tour and confirming he will contest next year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. The new Barbasol Championship winner jetted into Ireland on Thursday and after meeting-up with his father, Ned the pair headed off Friday to West Waterford for a welcome home reception. “This place is as close to a home as something can be,” Seamus told MC Kieran O’Connor ...

It couldn’t be any more comfortable for the Irish duo of Darren Clarke or Paul McGinley in teeing-up at this week’s Senior Open Championship at Sunningdale. Clarke is among a dozen major champions and he and McGinley make-up a contingent of 10 Ryder Cup captains teeing-up on the famed Surrey course, and only a short drive from European Tour HQ at Wentworth. Clarke was a member of the Sunningdale club in his years competing on the European Tour while McGinley continues to be a resident on the ...

Germany’s Matthias Schmid has wasted little time turning pro and accepting an invitation to make his debut in this week’s European Tour Cazoo Open supported by Gareth Bayle. The 23-year-old was the ‘Low Amateur’ at last week’s Open Championship and with new Open Champion, Collin Morikawa singling him out moments after being handed the Claret Jug at the Royal St. George’s prize-giving ceremony. Schmid had posted a second-round 65 last Friday at Sandwich to equal the record for the lowest ...

Former victorious Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie, and while singing the praise of Robert MacIntyre, says it is a ‘different dynamic’ if the young Scot should be handed a Whistling Straits ‘wildcard’ pick as opposed to the Ryder Cup being held in Europe.

Champion Scot Colin Montgomerie has called for the word ‘Senior’ to be dropped from all over-50s tours around the globe.

The U.S. Tour where Monty now plays full-time is known as the ‘Champions Tour’ while it was just recently the European Tour renamed their Seniors Tour as the Legends Tour. And ...

Former victorious captain Bernhard Langer is quietly confident Padriag Harrington can repeat what the German achieved 17-years ago and steer Europe to Ryder Cup victory on U.S. soil. Langer’s European Team won with a record-setting margin nine points in 2004 at Oakland Hills and with Ian Woosnam’s men then matching that feat two years later at the K. Club. And with Steve Stricker’s USA side now boasting three of four major winners of 2021, Langer was asked ahead of his defence on this week’s ...

Double Masters winning Bernhard Langer is full of praise for countryman Marcel Siem after his superb showing at last week’s Open Championship. Siem was the among the last to qualify for golf’s oldest major in winning on the secondary Challenge Tour and then just four days later he endeared himself not only to those present at Royal St. George’s but those around the world watching coverage of golf’s oldest major. The four-time European Tour winning Siem was well in contention over the ...
