Dubai, UAE …. Matt Wallace proved he was no tortoise in sprinting to the front of the field with a blistering seven birdie haul in a round of 65 on day two of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. The Englishman had been fined £3,000 on day one of the European Tour season-ending event for slow-play mid-round but no such problems on day two in muscling his way to 11-under par on Wallace’s debut in the event. Wallace is seeking his fourth win of a remarkable season as he recorded a ...

Dubai, UAE …. Russell Knox somewhat lost his appetite after posting a one-over par 73 on the opening day of his maiden DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Knox managed two birdies along with one bogey but sticking out on his scorecard like the proverbial dog’s hind leg was a sixth hole double-bogey where he found water with his tee shot. It left the lone Scot in the field seven shots adrift of the leading duo of England’s Jordan Smith and Spaniard Adrian Otaegui who posted six-under par ...

Dubai, UAE … Paul Dunne bravely continues to struggle for the correct answers after gabbing five birdies in a disappointing level par 72 on the opening day of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Dunne was one-under par through 12 holes before playing the next five holes in one-over to be trailing seven shots behind the leading duo of Spaniard Adrian Ortego and England’s Jordan Smith who shot 66s in very hot conditions on the Jumeirah Estates course.

Dubai, UAE …. It was advantage Francesco Molinari, and albeit by just one shot, on the opening day of the season-ending DP World Tour Championship and the year’s final Rolex Series event in Dubai. Molinari did bogey two of his four closing holes in a four-under par 68 and one fewer than Race to Dubai rival Tommy Fleetwood. The duo of Spaniard Adrian Otaegui and Englishman Jordan Smith share the first round lead at Jumeirah Golf Estates after carding a pair of six under par rounds of 66. Fleetwood, ...

Dubai, UAE …. England’s Matt Wallace bravely saw a lighter side after being slapped with a £3,000 ‘slow play’ fine on his debut at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. This season’s triple Tour winning Wallace was adjudged to have taken too long to putt out for par on the ninth hole and this after bizarrely being timed in birdiing both the seventh and eighth holes on the Earth Course. The Tour’s Chief Referee, Andy McFee was waiting for Wallace as he headed to the scorer’s ...

Dubai, UAE …. Rory McIlroy has brushed-off criticism following a likely decision note to take-up 2019 European Tour membership. McIlroy hinted earlier this week he would likely contest just two ‘pure’ European Tour events up to July’s Open Championship and hence the need not to be a European Tour member and in what will be a non-Ryder Cup year. It could see McIlroy also choosing not teeing-up in his ‘home’ Irish Open and instead contest the following week’s ...
