Glen Oaks, NY …  Rory McIlroy got one thing correct at the close of the Northern Trust and the first event of the FedEx Cup Play-Off Series. No, it was not finishing just inside the top-40 following a no-frills final round two-over par 72 for a two-over tally on the Glen Oaks course at Old Westbury. And it wasn’t the fact he has jumped one place in moving to 43rd on the FedEx Cup standings but still 13 places shy of being among the top-30 for the defence of his September 21st starting Tour ...

A week after Geoff Ogilvy wrapped-up his PGA Tour card and Adelaide’s Wade Ormsby has gone closer to achieving the same on the European Tour. Ormsby bravely collected this second top-10 result in succession, and his third of the year, in sharing sixth place in the Made in Denmark. The 37-year old had stormed to a share of the lead on day one in the Danish event thanks to sizzling 64 and while he shot a day two 72, Ormsby superbly regrouped to add subsequent rounds of 67 and 69 for a 12-under ...

Glen Oaks, Long Island, NY … Rory McIlroy will head to the defence of his Deutsche Bank Championship on the outskirts of Boston later this week very confident the smallest club in his bag is not his biggest conern. With a round to contest in the Northern Trust on New York’s Long Island the World No. 4 trails in an uncharacteristic share of 34th place at one-under. But while McIlroy may be trailing nine shots behind fellow Open Champion, Jordan Spieth the Northern Irishman is near the ...

For England’s Paul Casey to capture the Northern Trust he knows the American duo of Open Champikon Jordan Spieth and World No. 1 Dustin Johnson have to ‘falter’. For a second end-of-season running Casey has put himself in position to win one of the four FedEx Cup Play-Off events. His third round four-under 66 in bright conditons on the Glen Oaks course at Old Westbury on New York’s Lon Island delivered Casey the then clubhouse lead at seven under par. However by day’s ...

We’ve all heard of Kiawah Island, The Internatonal in Denver, PGA West , the Black Course at Bethpage Park, Pine Valley and Whistling Straits. But seriosuly who has heard of Tot Hill Farm? We came across Tot Hill Farm purely by accident driving as we were from Charlotte, and venue for the 201 P7GA Championship and won by Justin Thomas, and the short drive to Greensboro and also in North Carolina, for the Wyndham Championship. In making my way into the Tot Hill Farm clubhouse here on one of ...

Old Westbury, Long Island, NY … It was a big sporting day for World No. 4 Rory McIlroy not just on the golf course for round three of the Northern Trust but later glued to the ‘box’ throughout the afternoon and into Saturday evening. McIlroy was on the Glen Eagles course when his beloved Manchester United made it two wins from just as many new season events in humbling Leicester City 2-nil. McIlroy was then looking forward, but with plenty of Irish apprehension, to Conor McGregor ...

Adelaide’s Wade Ormsby has not ruled over victory given he is only four shots from the lead heading into the final round of the Made in Denmark. After starting with a birdie but then bogeying his next two holes the racecar fan found top-gear with back-to-back at the fourth and fifth holes on the Himmerland Golf and Spa Resort course. Ormsby then bogeyed the ninth hole for a second day running but again managed to put the foot down and move to the overtaking lane with three birdies in succession ...
