Stephen Gallacher horribly dropped four shots over his last four holes to lose sight of a jam-packed leader-board at the Oman Open. Gallacher was clearly bitterly disappointed in posting a very disappointing third round ‘moving day’ two-over par 74 and fall from a one-stroke lead through five holes and back into a share of 12th place at seven-under par in Muscat.

Palm Beach Gardens, FL …. Charl Schwartzel brilliantly capped his second round at the Honda Classic in holing a 206-yard second shot for eagle at the par-4 16th at PGA National. Schwartzel had minutes earlier dropped back-to-back shots at 14 and 15 when he came to the 426-yard par-4 16th and the second hole of the famed ‘Bear Trap’.
