Saying that, walking off with a third round two-over par 72 on this, his fifth visit to Sedgefield Country Club, was not part of the script for the reigning Barbasol Championship champion. It was a second highest round in 16 loops of the Greensboro layout and two fewer than a 74 in missing the third round cut in his 2017 debut in the event while Power ...

Scotland’s David Drysdale and his wife/caddy, Vicky will be no doubt be hoping they have a special ‘guest’ in the back seat when the duo head north following the close of this week’s Cazoo Classic at the London Club. ‘Double D’ superbly muscled his way into a share of sixth place on the back of bogey-free 67 for a nine-under par tally on day three of the inaugural event in Kent.

A month ago, Rory Sabbatini was lamenting a four missed cut in succession to be languishing outside the leading 125 on the PGA Tour money list. That all changed 12 days ago when the 45-year-old now Slovakian citizen posted a sizzling final round 61 to sensationally secure the silver medal at the Japan Olympics. Now Sabbatini has continued his Olympic Games form grabbing six birdies, and in also headwave conditions as experienced in Japan, in a round of a six-under par 64 to be sharing the lead at ...

Scotland’s Russell Knox has produced his lowest score since his first round last September of the 2020/21 season with a sizzling 63 on day two of the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina Knox sensationally holed his 118-yard second shot for an eagle ‘2’ at the 13th and had six birdies in his seven-under par effort to move to three-uder par in heatwave conditions of the Sedgefield County Club course.

England’s Dale Whitnall (68) and Welshman Rhys Enoch (65) share the lead at 10-under par and Hill tied with with England’s Jordan Smith (69). A week ago, it was Tartan flags ...

Scotland’s Michele Thomson and her manager Paul Lawrie now share a rare double after Thomson set a new ladies Dumbarnie Links course record on the opening day of the Trust Golf Scottish Women’s Open.

Waiting for Thomson with ...
