Michael Hoey is headed for two events in Kenya after ruing a poor final round to share eighth place in the rain-affected Hero Indian Open. Hoey went into the last round sharing fourth place, albeit six shots behind back-to-back winner SSP Chawrasia of India, but stumbled with four bogeys and just one birdie in a closing day 75 and settle for eighth place. The Belfast’s golfer birdie was at the 14th but he then dropped shots on 15 and 17 to secure what also was his best finish since he was ninth ...

Palm Harbor, FL … Ireland’s Seamus Power has set his sights on a top-10 finish to the 2017 Valspar Championship at the Innisbrook Resort here at Palm Habor. The Irishman was clearly downbeat in walking off the 18th green on day three but not because he bogeyed the par three 17th. Nor was Power worried that two PGA Tour commissioned officials, holding black folders. were waiting for Power as he exited the scorer’s hut to advise he must attend a random drugs test. It would be Power’s ...

Now Hadwin is again all smiled having shot a third round 67 to muscle his way to a four-shot leading cushion heading to the final round of the Valspar Championship ...

Palm Harbor, FL … Russell Knox had a smile on his face when he said he was unconcerned in missing halfway cuts if it meant becoming only the second Scot to win the Masters. Unfortunately, after missing a third cut in four events at this week’s Valspar Championship Knox has just one event to get his game back on track before teeing up in the new season’s first Major starting April 6th at Augusta National. As Knox is not entered this week’s ‘memorial’ Arnold Palmer Invitational ...

Scotland’s Duncan Stewart eased the disappointment of missing the cut in winning the keys to gleaming BMW for an ace in his second round at the rain-affected Hero India Open. The Grantown on Spey golfer was among some 60 players who had to return to the New Delhi course Saturday to complete their second round. And Stewart, who had teamed with Russell Knox in last year’s World Cup of Golf, did that in style pulling out a 6-iron and then landing his 178-yard tee shot just short of the flag ...
