Glen Oaks, Long Island, NY … Martin Laird is clearly enjoying the assurance of having his young family around in getting himself into contention at the Northern Trust. Laird added a second straight one-under par 69 to move into a clubhouse share of 14th place at two-under in glorious conditions on the Glen Oaks course and some 26 miles from Manhatton and the heart of New York City. The Scot trailed just four shots behind the leading foursome of World No. 1 Dustin Johnson (69) along with Rickie ...

Old Westbury, Long Island, NY … Jason Day produced what he described was a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde display on day two of the Notrthern Trust at Glen Oaks on New York’s Long Island. Day commenced his round at one-under par but found himself two over for the tournament when he bogeyed the first and then at the par five third hole, and the longest on the course at 625-yards, he was in the trees right with no option but to chip out and finding the left rough. He eventually reached the back ...

Glen Oaks, Long Island, NY … Fellow Open Champion, Henrik Stenson has expressed some worry Rory McIlroy’s career continues to stall due to continuing nagging injuries. Uncertainty dominated McIlroy’s golf ahead of confirmation by the current World No. 4 he will ‘shutdown’ his season following taking part in October’s Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland. And unless McIlroy wins one of the four FedEx Cup Play-Off titles he will not be seen again on either the PGA Tour or European ...

Old Westbury, NY … Jhonattan Vegas has one eye on a second PGA Tour title this year but a second more important eye on ‘Hurricane Harvey’. Weather experts believe the hurricane will hit the Texas Gulf of Mexico coastline with 35 inches of rain and “catastrophic” storm-surge flooding. This was Vegas’ concern after he signed  for a five-under par 65 to move into three-way share of the clubhouse lead at six-under par in the Northern Trust on New York’s Long ...

Glen Oaks, Long Island, NY … Paul Casey could not believe his good fortune sinking an outrageously long birdie putt it could have a done with a passport on day two of the Northern Trust. Casey confessed he ‘double-crossed’ hitting an 8-iron into the par three, 15th on the Glen Oaks course located some 25 miles east of Manhattan on New York’s Long Island. The World No. 17 was two-under for his round at the time having bogeyed the first, birdied the fourth, bogeyed the sixth and then managing ...

Old Westbury, Long Island, NY .. Scotland’s Martin Laird had his hands full both on and on the golf course on day one of the Northern Trust at New York’s Long Island. Laird was out in the afternoon half of the draw in the $US 7.85m event and after starting at the 10th he raced onto the leader board thanks to birdies at his first and third holes. He holed a putt of 13-feet at his first or the 10th hole of the Glen Oaks course and then managed to sink at 10-footer at his third hole. Laird dropped ...

Lost in the joy and amazing euphoria in celebrating Thomas Bjorn’s 500th European Tour event was in-form Wade Ormsby producing a round 64 to share the lead in the Made in Denmark. Ormsby commenced his round from the 10th and stormed his way to the front in birding four of his opening seven holes on the jam-packed Himmerland Golf and Spa resort course. The Adelaide golfer birdied the 11th, 13th, and then a ‘2’ at the par three, 16th. His only blemish of the day was at the 18th or the ninth hole ...
