MacIntyre Singles Out ‘Attitude’ Snapping A Putter In Being So Close To Hawaiian Victory Luau.
Top Scot Robert MacIntyre has reached a career high of No. 6 in the world but blamed his ‘attitude’ in letting slip possible victory at the Sony Open in Hawaii.
MacIntyre stormed to an eventual share of fourth just four shots adrift of American Chris Gotterup, the reigning Genesis Scottish Open champ, who produced a closing 64 for a two-shot success, and also a third Tour triumph.
MacIntye birdied five of his outward nine holes and then the 15th and last in a best of the final round 63 for the ...
Lowry Shattered: “A Disaster. I Hit A Shocking Shot. Tried My Best But Not Good Enough”.
No prize for knowing Shane Lowry was naturally guttered, horribly letting slip a first DP World Tour in victory in well over three years at the final hole on the last day of the Dubai Invitational.
The double Ryder Cup winning Irishman was leading by a shot heading to the last when, after finding a greenside bunker with his second, he thinned his third shot across the putting surface and into the water guarding the green.
Lowry took a penalty fourth shot ahead holing out for a double-bogey ‘6’ ...
Elvira Joins The Greats Of Spanish Golf Winning In Dubai
Nacho Elvira has joined the greats of Spanish golf in now winning in Dubai emirate.
There was emotional scenes with the over-joyed Elvira greeted by his wife and two children, moments after calmly two-putting the last for par to capture the Dubai Invitational on the host Dubai Creek course.
The 38-year-old Madrid golfer looked to have earned himself a spot in a play-0ff when he superbly birdied the 17th hole, moving to 10-under and tied with Shane Lowry, who was also on 10-under playing the last.
Then ...
McIlroy’s Simple Three-Word Message Post A 13th Top-3 Finish In 19-Years Starting A New Year
“Hit more fairways”.
This was Rory McIlroy’s simple three-word message post the Dubai Invitational after going so close to just a second victory in 19-years at a first tournament of a New Year.
The Grand Slam winning McIlroy was struggling early on, posting a 10th bogey of the four days when he bogeyed the seventh hole at the host Dubai Creek Golf Club course.
He earlier had birdied the third but for a second day running, McIlroy bogeyed the fourth hole before finding a greenside ...
Rory’s Stunning Birdie Barrage Ends Shy Of Success As Lowry Implodes Losing Title To Elvira.
If you were seeking drama on the final day of the Dubai Invitational, then there was no shortage.
Grand Slam winning Rory McIlroy ignited a brilliant mid-round, five-holes in succession birdie barrage only to finish just shy of victory while good friend Shane Lowry imploded with a closing hole double-bogey to let slip success in the DP World Tour’s Dubai Invitational.
Spain’s Nacho Elvira took full advantage of Lowry’s demise, playing in the group behind the Irishman to birdie the ...
PGA Tour Champ’s Reassuring Message To All Golfers, Including The Weekend Hackers.
Reigning PGA Tour Championship champ Tommy Fleetwood had a reassuring message for all golfers, whether professional or amateur, male or female, junior or senior following his third round at the Dubai Invitational.
Fleetwood, who is also an eight-time DP World Tour champion superbly bounced back from a horror second round 78 in defence of his title, with a ‘that’s more like it’ seven birdie haul in his five-under 66, a dozen shots fewer than a day earlier on the host Dubai Creek ...
