Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger continues to lead the way into the final round and the defence of his Made In HimmerLand title in Denmark. Wiesberger, 35, was among five leading post day one before moving two clear of his rivals on day two and now is one in front following a third round 68 to move to 14-under par. He managed six birdies and half as many bogeys and if there was a standout birdie, it his third shot from the back at the 12th and with Wiseberger’s second shot flying the green ...

Stephen Gallacher has shaken off a hand injury as he seeks to join a growing recent group of ‘Golden Oldie’ golfers to win on the European Tour at this week’s Made in HimmerLand.

We’re being reminded after just one round of the Made in Himmerland of that ole saying about the No. 272 bus.

Of course, it’s only the first day but Bland is tied at the top with Austrian and defending champion Bernd Wiesberger, Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal, Finland’s ...

The pair of 24-year-olds were rivals at the 2017 Walker Cup in Los Angeles and with Morikawa the first on either the US or GB & I sides to win a ...

There’s the old saying that the sight of one swallow doesn’t make for summer. Well newly-crowned PGA Champion Phil Mickelson has provided a Ryder Cup equivalent stating ‘one good week in an entire year doesn’t warrant a spot on a Ryder Cup team’. Mickelson is a veteran on an impressive unbroken run of 12 USA team appearances between 1995 and 2018 but only three of those on a winning side. His historic victory last Sunday at the PGA Championship has seen Mickelson jump ...

Surprisingly, it will be Morikawa’s first visit to the UK and as such also his maiden Open Championship a week later at Royal St. George’s. “Playing ...

Newly-crowned PGA Championship winner Phil Mickelson has lavished praised on England’s Richard Bland following his own historic triumph a week earlier at The Belfry. Bland, 47, ending a 478 winless drought with his emotional success on the famed Ryder Cup host venue.
