Paul Dunne’s wretched season has ended sadly with a wrist injury forcing him out of today’s (FRD) starting Q-School six-round Final Stage in Spain. Dunne was set to be among six Irish teeing-up over two courses at the Lumine Golf Club near Tarragonga. “I won’t be playing this week,” Dunne said to Irish Golf Desk. “It’s an ongoing wrist injury that’s gotten worse and I’m going to take some time to sort it out.” It’s unclear how long he has been suffering with the injury ...

The game of golf has always been about finding the shortest route around a golf course but that is not necessarily what organisers of next week’s 11th edition of the DP World Tour Championship are encouraging. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends taking 10,000 steps per day in order to improve overall health and defending DP World Tour Championship champion Danny Willett, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson and Co. will rack up more than that each day on the 7,675-yard host Earth course ...

Scott Jamieson is needing to draw strongly this week on his fondness for South African golf if the Scot is to qualify for next week’s elite season-ending event in Dubai. Jamieson, 35 has joined top-Scot Bob MacIntyre and Richie Ramsay teeing-up in today’s (THURS) commencing Nedbank Challenge at Sun City to the north-west of Johannesburg. Last week’ Turkish Airlines Open delight of a share of 10th in Belek secured Jamieson a start in this week’s $US 7.5m event and boasting the Tour’s highest-ever ...

Shane Lowry can be assured to not only have one eye on hitting range balls in Dubai but to have the other clearly on what may unfold at the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa. Lowry and his young family headed straight from Turkey to the UAE where he is chilling-out ahead of next week’s European Tour season-ending DP World Tour Championship. Lowry did not savour the Turkish delight result last week he sought but then nor did current Race to Dubai rival Bernd Wiesberger. The Austrian failed to break ...

When it comes to statistics it seems, and except for one ‘Major’ and an 83rd  PGA Tour win, that Tiger Woods holds all the records. No so as we’re learning that Rory McIlroy has toppled Woods for youngest player to spend 500 weeks inside the top-10 on the official World Rankings (OWGR). According to the World Ranking guru @Nosferatu. McIlroy accomplished the feat at 30 years, 6 months, 8 days old, breaking a mark previously held by Woods, who needed four months more to reach the ...

As Open Champion, Shane Lowry prepared to jet off to Dubai for a family break ahead of his crack at the European Number One spot, his good friend, Paul Dunne was sharpening the pencils ahead of 108 holes of hell at Final Stage Q-School. Their paths could hardly have sent the pair in more different directions this term; Lowry breaking through with a maiden Major triumph at Portrush as Dunne’s game crumbled with 12 missed cuts in his last 14 events. Lowry’s no stranger to suffering at the hands ...
