Scotland’s Calum Hill is quietly confident of a double delight with victory in the Canary Islands Championship in Tenerife. Hill, 26, birdied the closing hole for a third day running in a round of 66 to move to 17-under par to be in third place and just three shots off the lead on the spectacular clifftop Costa Ajele course. In-form South African Garrick Higgo, and winner of the last fortnight’s Tour event on Gran Canaria, snatched two eagles and also birdied his closing four holes in a seven-under ...

Rory McIlroy has ended a dismal run of two missed cuts with a fighting 66 to be just two shots off the lead on day two of the Wells Fargo Championship in North Carolina. McIlroy grabbed six birdies and dropped just one shot to jump 66 places and into a then share of seventh place at four-under par in the Euro 6.6m event on the Quail Hollow course. The two-time former Wells Fargo champ muscled his way to the near the top hitting just five of 14 fairways and also having arrived in suburban Charlotte ...

The Tartan trio of Calum Hill, Richie Ramsay and Connor Syme are primed to strike being just two shots off the lead heading to the weekend rounds of the Canary Islands Championship.

Affable Irisman Paul Dunne made a mockery of last week’s disappointing Tenerife Open efforts to produce his lowest European Tour score in two-and-a-half years on day one of the Canary Islands Championship at Tenerife. Dunne, 28, grabbed eight birdies in a six-under par 65 to share sixth place heading to the second round of the event on the Costa Adeje course. It placed the Greystones golfer just four shots behind Italian Francesco Laporta who signed for a nine-under par 63 to lead the field by ...

Richie Ramsay and Calum Hill each tapped-in for closing hole birdies to share the leading Scottish honours with rounds of six-under par 65s for a share of sixth place on day one of the Canary Islands Championship at Tenerife. Ramsay, 37, didn’t drop a shot in an equal low in 29 rounds this season on the Costa Adeje resort course that is playing host to a Tour event for a second week running. Hill, 26, began with a hat-trick of birdies in six birdies and while dropping a shot on 11, he capped his ...

Scotland’s Connor Syme walked-off feeling short-changed after a pair of early round eagles in an eventual five-under 66 on day one of the Canary Islands Championship at Tenerife. Syme had bogeyed his opening hole but quickly made amends in chipping-in from the back of the green at the par-5 11th, or the second hole of his round, ahead of holing a monster 40-footer for eagle at the par-5 13th on the Costa Adeje course. And it could have been two eagles and an ace in four holes as his tee shot ...
