Padraig Harrington has arrived in Wisconsin for the 2020 Ryder Cup ‘Year-To-Go’ ceremony with two former victorious European Team captains urging the Irishman stay ‘his own man’. Harrington jetted out of Edinburgh mid-Monday morning bound to Chicago and then a two-and-a-half drive north to Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.

Lowry’s closing handful of ...

Frenchman Victor Perez was appropriately doused in champagne after brilliantly capturing a maiden European Tour title with his one-shot victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St Andrews.

Rory McIlroy has taken a huge pot shot at the European Tour slamming the set-up of the golf courses following a no-frills top-30 showing at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. McIlroy struggled from the outset in posting a 70 last Thursday on Carnoustie and while he managed a 66 on day two at Kingsbarns Links, weekend rounds of 70 and 67 over the famed Old Course left himself too much to do over the closing two days of the Euro 4.5m event. The World No. 2 was jetting home to his luxury ...
