It has been a bitter blow to Seamus Power’s decent return to form in being ruled out of this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans after testing positive for the Covid-19 virus. Power jetted into the famed Mardi Gras city buoyed by last week’s superb share of ninth place in the PGA Tour’s secondary tour event in Las Vegas. However, in making his way to TPC Louisiana for this week’s team event, and where he was all set to again partner Canadian David Hearn, the 34-year old was shocked in ...

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 ...
