Sam Horsfield won twice on the European Tour last summer – the Hero Open and the Celtic Classic – but his attempts to complete a hat-trick this year have been scuppered largely by Friday flops.

Simpson Looks Set to Dominate His Home Event
The 10/1 about Webb Simpson winning the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club seems a perfectly acceptable price when you consider his amazing record in the tournament.

Sullivan Requires Ryder Cup Boost
Andy Sullivan played in the 2016 Ryder Cup and failed to register a point, so the 35-year-old Englishman would love to get another crack at representing Europe in the most prestigious team golf event on the planet.

Can Tiger Make Another Comeback?
When Tiger Woods leaned over a short putt to win the 2019 Masters on the 18th green at Augusta, he completed one of the most celebrated comebacks in sporting history.

Horse Racing Blog: The Great Galileo Passes / Weekly Racing Roundup / Golf Tips
55 Years of Hurt (and Counting!) Not strictly horse racing but England losing in the European Championship final versus Italy must have felt akin to when Maljimar got gubbed by Witchita Lineman in the dying strides of the 2009 William Hill Trophy Chase at the Festival, to many.

The evidence is there for all of us to see at the Renaissance Club – it’s the strongest field in the history of the Scottish Open. With 4 of the top 5 golfers in the world in the field, plus a further 23 of the world’s top 50 also playing, I’m sure the standard of […]
