Tiger Woods brilliantly ignited memories of the late, great Seve Ballesteros in playing a recovery shot from the side of the green at the 10th hole on day two of the WGC – Dell Technologies Match-Play in Austin, Texas. Woods second shot came to rest under small bush and just yards from the putting surface. The former three-time event winner was in danger of falling 2-down in his match against fellow American Brandt Snedeker. But then in a move that serves as a  reminder to those true followers ...

Paul Dunne brilliantly stormed his way to a share of the lead posting a six-under par 66 on day one of the PGA Tour’s Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic. The Greystones golfer capped his round with three birdies in succession from his seventh hole to join Aussie Matt Jones and American Joel Dahmen sharing the lead in the $US 3.6m event. “I think to be honest with you, I knew starting out that the back nine in this wind was the trickier nine so you’ve got a lot ...

Shane Lowry should secure a Master invitation after sensationally taking the reigning Masters champ and proud Texas native Patrick Reed all the way to the 18th hole before a closing hole birdie helped square his match against next fortnight’s defending Augusta hero on day two of the WGC – Dell Technologies Match-Play in Austin, Texas. The World No. 48 ranked Lowry, and needing to remain inside the top-50 on Sunday night to secure a return to the Masters for a first time in two years, ...

It took a stroke of late round brilliance for Rory McIlroy to seal a second round 3 & 2 victory against little-known South African Justin Harding at the WGC – Dell Technologies Match-Play in Austin, Texas. McIlroy was never behind in his match against the 33-year old Harding was far from shy in taking his long-handled putter right to his Holywood golfing rival in bright but windy conditions over their 16 holes on the Austin Country Club course. McIlroy won a scrappy encounted that remarkably ...

Major champion Henrik Stenson will once again return to Scotland, the Home of Golf, when the Aberdeen Standard Investments Scottish Open – the third Rolex Series event on the 2019 Race to Dubai – moves to The Renaissance Club in North Berwick from July 8-14. The finest moment of the Swede’s career came on Scottish soil when he triumphed in The 145th Open at Royal Troon three years ago, and he will be aiming to add Scotland’s national open title to his 11 European Tour wins when he tees ...

Aussie Scott Hend had visions of a very early Indian takeaway after dropping four shots in two holes mid-round on day one of the Hero Indian Open in New Delhi. Last week’s Maybank Championship winner bogeyed his eight and then posted a triple-bogey at his ninth to slump to two-over but superbly regrouped to pick-up five inward nine birdies in a round of 69. The Florida-based Queenslander, who began his round from the 10th, capped his round with three closing birdies to be trail just two shots behind ...

Scotland’s Stephen Gallacher was soaring to the top of the victory take-out queue thanks to a superb final hole eagle in a round of 67 on day one of the Hero Indian Open in New Delhi. Gallacher, and with recently turned 18-year old son Jack acting as caddy, holed a 12-footer from just off the green to snare the early clubhouse lead on the DLF Golf and Country Club in the Indian capital. The effort is the Gallacher’s lowest score all season in 15 rounds over seven disappointing ...
