A French golfer now living in nearby Dundee is primed to capture the biggest tournament in his pro career Victor Perez, 27 is competing on the European Tour as a full member for the first time in his pro career and he finds himself tied with England’s Matthew Southgate after three rounds Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Perez carded a second 64 of the week at Kingsbarns Golf Links to move to 20 under and was joined at the top of the leadeboard by Southgate after the Englishman birdied his ...

Rory McIlroy’s Scottish jinx will continue but he’s determined to see he and his father, Jerry celebrated his 60th birthday capturing the team event at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St. Andrews. Individually, McIlroy struggled on day three in the bright but windy conditions on the Old Course in posting a two-under par 70 for a 10-under par tally and a distant share of 40th place and 10 shots off the lead. It’s a far different story in the team competition with the McIlroy’s sharing ...

Rory McIlroy clearly had visions of something special racing to five-under par after just five holes only to stall in posting a 66 at Kingbarns Links on day two of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. The World No.2 heads into today’s (SAT) third round at St. Andrews trailing six shots adrift of 23-year old England rookie, Matthew Jordan. Jordan completed his closing seven-holes in seven-under for a 64 on the Old Course at St. Andrews for a one-shot lead at 14-under par. McIlroy ignited ...

Twenty-three year England rookie Matthew Jordan brilliantly muscled his way to the top of the leader board thanks to a sizzling 64 for a one-shot lead heading to the third round of the Alfred Dunhill Links in Scotland. The Royal Liverpool attached Jordan is contesting only his seventh full European Tour event this year, and a first also since May’s British Masters. It was an electrifying start on the Old Course when he proceeded to hole his second shot for an eagle ‘2’ at the par-4 ...

Russell Knox insisted ‘Please don’t tell my caddy’ after revealing he switched the shafts in his clubs ahead of teeing-up in making his first appearance at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. Scotland’s top-ranked player is strangely making his debut in the $5m event that was first contested in 2001 and won by fellow Scot Paul Lawrie. Knox was drawn to play the famed Old Course at St. Andrews and asked ahead of the pro-am of the three host courses which course ...

Rory McIlroy has seemingly ruled out capturing golf’s ‘double crown’ and that is winning both the PGA Tour FedEx Cup and European Tour Race to Dubai titles in the same season. Twice before in his now 12-year pro career McIlroy has won the double and that was in 2012 and then in 2014. McIlroy collected a third FedEx Cup No. 1 title with his victory late August at the Tour Championship but he currently trails well back in 24th place on the Race to Dubai and well adrift of fellow Irishman ...

Top-ranked Scot Russell Knox confessed before tee-off he felt much akin to a 15-handicapper in tackling the famed Old Course at St. Andrews ahead of his maiden appearance in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. Knox then went out to make a mockery of that assertion in snatching eight birdies in a very impressive six-under par 66 and tied with Kinross’s Calum Hill, who eagled his last at Kingsbarns Links on day one of the event being again staged over three courses in the east of Scotland. If ...
