It’s been 11-years since Stewart Cink represented the US in a fifth straight Ryder Cup and now after a second PGA Tour victory of the 2020/21 wraparound season the in-form 47-year old has played down thoughts of being on Steve Stricker’s Whistling Straits side. After a pair of opening 63s Cink was never really challenged in capturting a third RBC Heritage title and the 15th win of his PGA Tour career. With son Reagan on the bag, Cink went into the last day leading by five and won ...

Shane Lowry headed into a two-week competition break superbly finding the Harbour Town overtaking lane on the final day of the RBC Heritage Classic at Hilton Head. Lowry had lost ground on the leaders on Saturday’s third round ‘moving day’ in signing off for one-over par 72 but he came alive on day four ‘pay day’ with six birdies in a five-under par 66 to jump nearly 20 places and be in the clubhouse then sharing eighth place at 11-under par. The Clara golfer got off to a great start in ...

Robert MacIntyre will look to wrap-up his two-months Stateside on a positive note heading to the final round of the RBC Heritage in South Carolina. MacIntyre fought back from a mini set of three bogeys mid-round to post a one-under par 70 for six-under tally in ideal conditions on the Harbour Town course at Hilton Head. The Oban lefty went into golf’s moving day on the back of a bogey-free 67 and he was off to a bright start holing a seven-footer for birdie at the second. He then moved to seven-under ...

With two majors and 21 other professional wins on his golfing CV Martin Kaymer is the player to beat with a round to play at the Austrian Open near Vienna. Kaymer, 36 shares the lead with Spaniard Alejandro Canizares on nine-under par in continuing very cold conditions on the Diamond Country Club course. Once again, players were rugged-up as though they were competing in October’s Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland and with just 16 of the 73 players who made the cut breaking 70 on golf’s ...

Robert MacIntrye’s decision to take some weight off his putter could reap hefty dividends after muscling his way into the top-10 early on day two of the RBC Heritage Classic in South Carolina. MacIntyre was handed a first in his now 10 events on US soil and that was teeing-off in the opening group on day two of this week’s £stg 5.1m event. Starting out from the 10th, MacIntyre posted four opening pars before the Oban lefty made his move with three birdies in four holes from the 14th. MacIntyre ...

Shane Lowry superbly shook-off any lingering Masters hangover soaring on day two with an eagle and a near ace to be in contention heading to the weekend rounds at the RBC Heritage Classic in South Carolina. Lowry brilliantly eagled the second and then grabbed five birdies in a nine-hole run from the fourth to 12th holes in a six-under par 65 for a seven-under tally on the Harbour Town course at Hilton Head. Lowry’s effort, and with stand-in South African caddy Gary Matthews calling the ...

Shane Lowry is hopeful his Open Championship winning caddy, Bo Martin will be able to return to the US for next month’s Wells Fargo Championship. Martin and Lowry’s long-time coach, Neil Manchip returned to Ireland following last week’s Masters so that they would be back before today’s (April 15th) new Ireland regulation that states that anyone entering Ireland from the US must enter an official ‘self-isolating’ hotel for a 10-day quarantine period. Lowry expressed his displease with ...
