A stroke of brilliance ​helped ​send Rory McIlroy soaring into a share of the clubhouse lead on the opening day of the DS Automobiles Italian Open on the Marco Simone course. McIlroy was 115-yards out in playing his second shot into the par-4 third hole​ that he was playing as his 12th on next year’s Ryder Cup host venue on the north-eastern outskirts of Rome. Long-time caddy Harry Diamond and ‘Best Man’ at his wedding, handed McIlroy a wedge that McIlroy landed just right of the pin ...

Shane Lowry was over the moon finally winning at Wentworth, going to the top of the 2023 Ryder Cup qualifying process and claiming victory for his DP World Tour colleagues with an emphatic BMW PGA Championship success at Tour HQ Lowry came from two shots back at the start of the third and final round, birding the closing hole in a 65 for a 17-under par tally around the famed Burma Road course, and in the flagship event reduced to 54-holes following the passing of Queen Elizabeth ...

A remarkably sombre and very humble  Rory McIlroy took full advantage of a ‘gettable’ host course birdied his closing two holes to be just one off the lead, with a round to play in the shortened 54-hole flagship BMW PGA Championship. McIlroy, winner of the in 2014, is also now one round shy of capturing back-to-back titles on both sides of ‘The Pond, after recently landing a record-setting third FedEx Cup crown.

David Law emerged from the intermittent downpours all smiles to head the tartan charge with a 67 on the opening day of the BMW PGA Championship at Tour HQ. Law, 31, superbly picked-up from where he left off a year ago when the Aberdonian shot a Wentworth career-best closing round of 66 to share 14th place.  The effort was easily his best in three appearances at Tour HQ. Law trails just three shots behind Norwegian sensation Viktor Hovland, who finished birdie, birdie and then holed a 26-footer ...

Shane Lowry again showed his fondness for the famed ‘Burma Road’ course taking Route 66 on the opening day of the flagship BMW PGA Championship. Lowry emerged from the ‘on and off’ showers and end his day’s work in bright sunshine with a bogey-free display of six birdies, three on each half, for a six-under-par starting round to be in the stately Wentworth clubhouse just two shots off the early lead in the $8m event. Setting the clubhouse target was Lowry’s playing partner ...

Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson heads to this week’s opening event of the 2023 Ryder Cup selection process at Tour HQ in the best of form finishing runner-up in the Made in Himmerland in Denmark. Ferguson, 26, came from two shots down at the start of the final round to post a closing round of 66 to set the clubhouse lead at 20-under-par only to lose out to a stroke of magic from England’s Oliver Wilson. It’s been a few weeks shy of eight years since Wilson captured his only tournament victory ...
