While Kingsbarns Links has produced many low scores for the men during the annual Alfred Dunhill Links Championship the course is ready to bare its teeth for the games best women contesting the Ricoh Women’s British Open in August. The club was formed in 1793 but with the links ploughed up in 1850 before being refounded in 1922 thanks to legendary Willie Auchterlonie, and with Kingsbarns Links resurrected at the very turn of the 21st century.

Hilton Head, SC … Russell Knox was left ruing taking a bogey from less than 100-yards out late in his round of a 68 on the final day of the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head in South Carolina. Knox was just inside the top 10 when just 93-yards out at the par five, 15th but put his third shot, a 64-degree wedge, into a greenside bunker but then failed to get out before landing his fifth to 11-foot for a bogey ’6’.

Hilton Head, SC … Graeme McDowell burned the hole that many times all week, including a final round 70, he could have done with a fire extinguisher at the RBC Heritage. As such, McDowell managed just three birdies all day but also two bogeys to be in the clubhouse among the top-30. But when you look at McDowell’s putting stats for the week he could have very well been in the top-10 needing 29 putts on day one, just 26 on day two, 30 on day three and then leaving his ball right in the jaws ...

The former World No. 1 ranked Donald was joint runner-up in the event a year ago and is looking for ...

Tyrrell Hatton is not only looking to curb his emotions on the golf courses of the PGA Tour but joked he is striving also to control one of his enjoyments in being in the US and that is the odd can of Dr. Pepper. Not for a first time in this new but short chapter in his career Hatton has put himself into contention for victory and in posting scores of 69 and 68 for a five under par tally and sharing 16th place through two rounds of the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head in South Carolina. The 25-year old ...

Hilton Head, SC … Russell Knox continued a fondness for the second round of this week’s host course in again taking a huge bite out of the alligator-infested course with a five under par 66 on day two of the RBC Heritage. The Scot birdied four of his opening six holes and dropping his only shot at the 12th before birdies at 13 and 15 in glorious warm conditions on the Harbor Town layout at Hilton Head in South Carolina. It handed Knox a share of tenth place at six under and just four behind ...
