… Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club, Japan  It was a case of Aussie Rules with Jason Day scooping the $100,000 18th hole skin for a $210,000 winner’s purse in capturing the inaugural MGM Reosert Challenge – Japan Skins.

The Irish trio of Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell will look to restore an Irish Rugby World Cup dented pride in the Land of the Rising Sun at this week’s inaugural ZoZo Championship in Japan.

The company last month attracted attention for another reason when Japanese billionaire Yusaku ...

A very emotional Nicolas Colsaerts ended a seven-year winless drought to capture the Open de France in signing one-over par 72 and win by a single shot at 13-under par on the Le National course in Versailles. Though the 36-year old former Ryder Cup star had to do it the hard way in forfeiting a three-shot overnight lead to fall to second place after bogeys and five, six and 12. Colsaerts then in a 30-minute run brilliantly birdied 12 and chipped-in for an eagle ‘3’ on 14 but only to horribly ...
