South Africa’s Dylan Frittelli captured the third DP World Tour title of his career with victory at the Bahrain Championship presented by Bapco Energies after a closing round of one under 71 saw him reach 13 under for the tournament, two clear of fellow countryman Zander Lombard and Sweden’s Jesper Svensson. It was an emotional win for the 33 year old, who struggled for form on the PGA Tour last year and admitted he considered quitting the game. “It feels great, it feels awesome,” said Frittelli, whose last DP World Tour win was six years ago at the AfrAsia…
Dylan Frittelli moved through the gears at the Royal Golf Club to reach 12 under par and open up a two-shot lead heading into the final round of the Bahrain Championship presented by Bapco Energies as he hunts down a third DP World Tour title. The South African started slowly, with strong winds again adding an extra layer of difficulty, and went one over par for the day when he found the rough with his tee shot on hole four and ended up with a bogey. But his round sprung to life with three consecutive birdies from the eighth.…
Chile’s Joaquin Niemann got the 2024 LIV Golf League season off to a flying start when shooting a 12-under 59 in Friday’s opening round at Mayakoba in Mexico. In setting the El Camaleon course record, Niemann also becomes the second player in LIV Golf’s first 23 events to card a sub-60 round. Last year, Bryson DeChambeau shot a 12-under 58 at Greenbrier. After opening his round with a par on the second hole, Niemann birdied the next five holes, made one par and followed with two more birdies before holing out from the fairway for an eagle-2 at the par-4…
Jesper Svensson, Joel Girrbach and Dylan Frittelli will take a one-stroke lead into round three of the Bahrain Championship presented by Bapco Energies after reaching nine under for the tournament as strong winds blew around the Royal Golf Club on day two. Starting his round on the 10th hole, Challenge Tour graduate Svensson’s six under par opening nine of 30 belied the difficult conditions as he carded four birdies and a spectacular eagle on the 14th after a 375-yard drive followed by a 198-yard approach to six feet. His second nine was a more conservative affair, bookended by birdies on…

Q. How is your game shaping up coming into the tournament coming off the first tournament at Hualalai? BERNHARD LANGER: Yeah, I felt rusty at Hualalai. I didn’t play my very best, but they also changed that golf course. It’s almost the opposite from Tiburón. It’s wide open. There’s no rough at all. There’s very little punishment if you spray it, and the bombers have a huge advantage. You look at the leaderboard, there were mostly bombers up there. The other thing that happened over the time off since the Schwab Cup, my mother passed away. She was 100. She…

This Friday sees the LIV Golf League begin its 14-event schedule for the 2024 season at Mayakoba’s El Camaleón Golf Course on Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Officials for the circuit led by Greg Norman and backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund planned for the teams and the full schedule to be announced by the end of 2023, but the releases were delayed until just days before its 2024 opener due to late signings of Tyrrell Hatton, Adrian Meronk and Lucas Herbert. Plenty of the familiar teams from last season are back, but with the addition of Jon Rahm, there’s a…
Tom Vaillant put in a sublime display over the Royal Golf Club course to sign for an eight under par 64 and edge into a one-shot lead over Zander Lombard and Joel Girrbach on day one of the Bahrain Championship presented by Bapco Energies. “It was pretty good,” said the Frenchman who carded a superb five under par back nine which included back-to-back birdies to finish. “We were lucky with the conditions compared to what’s predicted for tomorrow so I just tried to take advantage of it. I tried to hit as many greens as I could and just played…
Q. Jon, how does it feel to be the captain of a team, and tell us a little bit about how you picked this amazing team JON RAHM: It’s definitely a different feel to what I’m used to, golf being quite an individual sport. To actually be thinking about part of management of any kind, it’s somewhat unusual for me. But the process was a little bit harder than what we would have liked to acquire all the players. Obviously Kieran being one of the qualifiers, I was up watching the back nine and saw his performance, and I…
