The season-ending DP World Tour Championship is set to end on a thrilling note with 11 players within four shots of the lead heading to the final round of the last event of the 2020 European Tour season. Texan Patrick Reed struggled forfeiting his two shot second day leading cushion and managing to birdie the last hole for a third day running in a 71 to move to 11-under par on the Earth course at Jumeirah Estates course. Tied with Reed atop of the Euro 6.6 million event is the England duo of Laurie ...

Graeme McDowell ended his ‘very strange year’ on a disappointing note with a back injury ruling him out of the final two rounds at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. McDowell birdied the last hole in a bogey-laden second round four-over par 76 that handed him a five-over par tally in the no-cut event on the Earth course. ‘G Mac’, and returning to Jumeirah Estates for a first occasion since 2014, was then lying in a share of 58th in the 65-player season-ending European Tour ...

Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre pulled-off his ‘up-and-down’ of the at the last on day two of the DP World Tour Championship to keep alive an invitation to next April’s Masters. The official World Rankings body released its ‘Week 50’ projections just ahead MacIntyre posting a clearly frustrating second round level par 72 to drop 10 spots into a share of 12th at four-under par on the Earth course at Jumeirah Estates. The Oban lefty now needs to pick-up at least eight spots over the closing ...

Patrick Reed was in a class of his own producing a sizzling eight-under par 64 to move two shots clear of the field at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. The past Masters champion collected nine birdies and dropped the only shot of his two days at the par-4 12th hole as the 30-year old Reed looks to become the first American in the 48-year history of the Tour to be crowned European Tour No. 1. Reed began the second round sharing ninth place and his bright purple Nike logo shirt was soon commanding ...

Robert MacIntyre immediately set about shooting for the European No. 1 crown with a superb share of second place on the opening day of the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. The Oban lefty had been leading the £stg 6m event mid-round on route to four-under par 68 and just a shot behind Dundee-based Frenchman Victor Perez. Perez, and winner of last year’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, posted a five-under par 67 to lead the 65-player, no-cut field competing on the Earth course ...

Graeme McDowell again struggled to get lift-off on the Earth course in matching his scoring average with a 73 on the opening day of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. McDowell is returning to the event for a first time in six years but the Greg Norman-designed lay out again did him little favour in managing to squeeze out just one birdie but also two bogeys at Jumeirah Estates. His score continues a run now of seven years when he’s not broken 70 on day one of the DP World while in now ...

The French tricolour seems to be a regular fixture of late on European Tour leader-boards. Four days after Antoine Rozner became the latest French champion and past Tour winner and countryman, Victor Perez muscled his way to the top of the board on day one of the season-ending DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. The Dundee-based Perez posted an opening 67 and for the current No. 6 on the Race to Dubai immediately projected to finish at No. 1 should he retain his place ahead of the 65-player field ...
