In probably Phil Mickelson’s best-ever fireside chat the five-time Major winner completely enthralled golf viewers during the first part of two part interview on the Golf Channel. Many of the ‘juicy bits’ had been leaked beforehand including Mickelson’s relationship with Tiger Woods and what he calls talking ‘smack’ with Woods. However when the interview proper was screened we saw a side of Mickelson that even so many of his closer fans had never seen or heard ...

Rory McIlroy was naturally downbeat ending a six-week competition absence in finishing a distant share of seventh place in the first big golfing showdown of the New Year – the WGC – Mexico Championship. McIlroy signed for a level par 71 to be tied with Phil Mickelson (71) and Brandt Snedeker (65) McIlroy went into the final round with Dustin Johnson and with both trailing a shot behind Justin Thomas. The four-time Major winning McIlroy had given himself the opening final round nine ...

Paul Dunne secured his best finish turning pro in late 2015 by sharing sixth place in the Tshwane Open in Pretoria. Dunne posed a final round five under 66 for a 12-under par tally in his 34th Tour event. However, the Greystones golfer clearly must have lamented his opening 73 when he posted six bogeys but then just five shots over the following three rounds and capping his final day’s play with three birdies in succession from the seventh. Dunne then muscled his way into sixth on the back of three ...

Dustin Johnson rubbed Rory McIlroy’s nose into any thoughts of regaining the World No. 1 title with victory in the WGC – Mexico Championship. Johnson fought off a strong final round challenge not from McIlroy but from mop-haired Englishman Tommy Fleetwood for the American to win by a stroke courtesy of a closing 68 and a 14-under par tally. The Southport-born Fleetwood produced a pair of 66s to fight his way to second place at 13-under par and just weeks after capturing the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. It ...

Exciting new star Justin Thomas leads by one stroke but it was Phil Mickelson who stole the ‘Grammy’ in one of the more bizarre days in recent history on day three of the WGC – Mexico Championship at Mexico City. Thomas, and a back-to-back winner earlier this year, added his own chapter to the day in grabbing a remarkable first Tour ace at the par three 13th when his 232-yard shot took a huge bounce some 15-feet short of the hole, and bounced as high as the flag stick, to then disappear ...

Scott Jamieson will seek to not only end a four-year European Tour winless drought but also see the Scottish flag go to the top of the mast for a first time in some 15 months heading to the final day of the Tshwane Open. Jamieson birdied the 18th on day three to ensure he and Swedish rookie Alexander Bjork were tied at the top on 13-under par and both posting rounds of 68. South African Dean Burmester and Spain’s Jorge Campillo and each shooting 65s were next best and just a shot back at 12-under ...

Finca Cortesin, a three-time host of the Volvo World Match Play Championship, is preparing to write a new chapter in its evolving history following the appointment of Miguel Girbés as new Director of Golf at the prestigious Spanish golf resort. Girbés will bring a wealth of experience with him to his new position at the deluxe Andalucian venue after spending the last seven-and-a-half years in leading roles at PGA Catalunya Resort in Girona.
