After several delays to the scheduled 7 a.m. opening tee time, the decision was made at 1 p.m. Thursday local time to begin the first round at 7 a.m. Friday. It was four years ago G Mac captured a third of now four PGA Tour victories in defeating Scotland’s Russell Knox and American Jason Bohm to win the event on a Monday and after a similar delay to that already being experienced at ...

‘King’ Louis Oosthuizen overcame early morning kidney stones pain for a second day running to post a blistering bogey-free nine-under par 63 and open-up a three shot lead on day one of the Nedbank Golf Challenge hosted by Gary Player. The 2010 Open Champion had been awoken early on Wednesday morning with kidney stones and with the pain forcing him out of the Pro-Am.

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.

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 ...
