It had been seven years since I first set foot on Beauvallon Golf Club located on the sparkling French Riviera halfway just on the outskirts of Saint Maxime. It’s a wonderful golf course that’s open to members of the public and where you squeeze out a handful of pars and also manage the odd birdie. What makes Beauvallon special is the views afforded over the Mediterranean and renowed St. Tropez, famed playground for the rich and famous. Not for a moment am I suggesting I am rich or famous ...

When was the last time the two ball of Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy ended a third round in any tournament at lunch? That’s what happened on day three of the Northern Trust with the now good friends sitting down at a wooden ‘picnic-like’ table to enjoy their lunch break and chew over the bizarre events of the proceeding four hours or so. The duo, and with a combined 19 Majors, had made a complete ‘meal’ of their third round on the TPC Boston course. Not that it mattered as the pair ...

Scotland’s Connor Syme brilliantly holed a last hole birdie to regain a share of the lead heading to the final round of the ISPS Handa Wales Open at Celtic Manor. In conditions not too dissimilar to those that almost ruined the 2010 Ryder Cup, all players battled a difficult mix of driving rain and continuing blustery conditions in a ‘preferred lie’ rule in place on the Twenty-Ten course. Sweden’s Sebastain Soderberg was one of just two players inside the top-20 to tame the weather and ...

American Scottie Scheffler has added his name to the record books. The 24-year-old shot a 59 (-12) at TPC Boston in the second round of the Northern Trust. It is just the 12th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history and with Scheffler now the second-youngest to achieve the majical golfing achievement. Scheffler had a clean card on Friday, firing 12 birdies and six pars. The American was having a good round through 13 holes as he was eight-under and quickly moving up the leaderboard. Scheffler then caught ...

Scotland’s Connor Syme heads to the weekend now determined for a double dose of success at the ISPS Handa Wales Open at Celtic Manor. Syme tamed the ‘brutal’ wet and blustery conditions brought on by Storm Caroline moving two shots clear of the field with a second one-under par 70 for a six-under total. The Drumoig golfer grabbed three birdies but also dropped two shots to be clear of fellow Scot Liam Johnston who posted a 68 to be among a group on four-under. Syme said: “That was brutal, ...

Tiger Woods had many observers wondering what was being applied to his neck and lower back ahead of his opening round at the Northern Trust near Boston Woods grabbed five birdies in a three-under par 68 and head to the clubhouse trailing four shots behind early leader and fellow American Harris English. The 15-time Major winning Woods was observed ahead of tee-off on the TPC Norton practice range rubbing his upper back with a towel and placing a cold bottle of water on the back of his neck. Woods ...
