Old Course, St. Andrews …. Dane Lucas Bjerregaard admitted he drew inspiration from a visit last week to the European Ryder Cup team room to deny the Versailles winning duo of Tyrrell Hatton and Tommy Fleetwood victory in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship here at the Old Course in St. Andrews. Bjerregaard, who had shared the lead on day two, came from four shots behind Hatton, and despite a bogey at his last, to finish a shot clear of the Englishman with a closing 67 and capture a second ...

Padraig Harrington and his fellow final round Alfred Dunhill Links Championship competitors are facing the bizarre scenario of a ‘shotgun’ start to the final round at St. Andrews in Scotland.

Carnoustie, Scotland …. Tyrrell Hatton has both Tiger Woods and Ernie Els in his sights heading to a hopeful third straight success in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. Unlike a day earlier, the victorious Ryder Cup rookie posted an incident-free six-under par 66 at Carnoustie to move to a share of second on eight-under and just a shot behind the leading duo of Dane Lucas Bjerregaard (65) and Italian Andrea Pavan (63). Hatton’s effort was five strokes fewer than any one of ...

Carnoustie, Scotland …. Three months after his delight shooting an opening day 67 and on route to an eventual share of ninth in golf’s oldest major, Tony Finau returned to Carnoustie to be just as delighted in posting 66 to be inside the top-15 after two rounds of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. The American, and coming off last week’s Ryder Cup disappointment, grabbed eight birdies and with only bogey at the par-3 16th on last July’s 147th Open Championship host venue Finau ...

It is right to express concern another person has been hit by a golf ball struck by a leading professional golfer. The golf world was already in damage-control mode after it became known a woman, hit by an errant Brooks Koepka tee shot on day one of the Ryder Cup, is looking like taking officials to court after sadly losing the sight of her right eye. Then to add to those headlines was news yesterday that Tyrrell Hatton hit a female spectator high on her forehead at the par-3 15th hole at Kingsbarns ...
