It’s nearly six years since this journalist walked the final 18 holes of the 2019 Open Championship in the company of Shane Lowry’s proud father at Royal Portrush. Brendan Lowry is an Irish sporting legend in his own right but on this day he admitted to me he was a little shy to been seen inside the ropes following his son to victory in golf’s oldest major. I was working with the R & As media team and having met Brendan on a number of occasions, I encouraged him to forget any ...

After the disappointment of dropping two shots over his closing few holes on day one, Ferguson superbly bounced back to grab four birdies in a bogey-free 67 for a share of eighth place on six-under on the host Regnum Caya course. Frenchman Martin Couvra opened up a two-shot lead thanks to a 66 and moved to 11-under as the impressive ...

It’s been nearly two years since Rickie Fowler last tasted success on the PGA Tour but that could end this week after his superb opening round of 63 on day one of the Truist Championship in PA. Fowler, 36, ended the opening round just two shots adrift of fellow American Keith Mitchell who signed for a sizzling career best nine-under 61 on the host Cricketers Club course in suburban Philadelphia. “Kept it simple”, was Fowler’s initial comment post his round that included six ...

Masters champ Rory McIlroy admitted he was a little rusty in taking Route 66 on the opening day of his defence of the Truist title at the Philadelhphia Golf Club in Pennsylvania. McIlroy, competing in his first ‘individual’ tournament since being fitted with an Augusta National members green jacket, picked-up six birdies and dropped two shots in his four-under score on the opening day of the $20m event a week out from the PGA Championship. American Kevin Mitchell leads the way posting ...

Those working on renovating the inside of the famed New Picture Theatre at St. Andrews have a wish as to who they would like to see present at any official re-opening later this year.

The now ‘B’ listed buidling was first opened on December 22nd, 1930 however closed its doors ...
