Ramón Albarrán never wanted to turn golf into his profession. He liked it too much. He feared that the obligations, the hours of training in the rain, the cold or the wind and the harshness of making a living with the clubs would end up taking away part of that passion. He preferred to keep […]

Silvia Pereira — Fri, 26 Jun 2026 18:15:26 +0000

– As expected since the morning playing session finished, Joaquín Niemann (-15) leads the Open de Italia after two rounds. The afternoon session hardly changed the top of the leaderboard, beyond the addition of up to three French players to the group of leading contenders for the weekend. On the one hand Romain Langasque (-10) […]

– Edoardo Molinari (-8) admitted this week that he must have played the Circolo Golf Torino layout a thousand times, this week’s venue of the Italian Open on the DP World Tour. Dodo, as he is known on the tour, a Turinese and a Juve fan, of course, shot a course record 63 today. He […]

Alejandro Rodríguez — Sun, 24 May 2026 19:59:02 +0000

Jorge Campillo did not win the Soudal Open, but he was close enough again for his mind to start doing the sums. Not always. Not for the whole round. In fact, he himself admits he never had the full, real sensation of having the tournament in his hands. However, there were two very specific moments […]

Sterne is reborn thirteen years later at the cost of Lombard’s umpteenth shipwreck

Alejandro Rodríguez — Sun, 24 May 2026 15:50:37 +0000

Richard Sterne (-18), a 44-year-old South African golfer, produced on Sunday one of those survival stories in sport that happen very occasionally. Less and less, really. He rose to 29th in the world, won six times on the European Tour and claimed the Order of Merit on the Sunshine Tour in 2008. But he suffered […]

Zander unleashed?

Zander Lombard (-18) is the clear leader of the Soudal Open with 18 holes to play. He is, therefore, the big favourite to win. He has a three-shot lead over second place and is playing brilliantly. He has made four bogeys in three days, but above all, the most impressive thing is that he has […]

Jorge Campillo (-10) has elbowed his way into the fight for victory at the Soudal Open, an event on the DP World Tour taking place this week at the Rinkven International Golf Club in Antwerp. Actually, more than by elbows, it has been with a hammer blow. Sledgehammer. A 66 on the first day and […]

Alejandro Rodríguez — Thu, 21 May 2026 17:40:16 +0000

He did not need to show his best golf to climb high on the leaderboard at the Soudal Open, a DP World Tour event that kicked off this Thursday at the Rinkven International Golf Club in Antwerp, in Belgium. The Spaniard Jorge Campillo (-5), by extracting the most from the greens, did enough to post […]

The Spaniards’ (very simple) calculations to qualify for the PGA Championship

Alejandro Rodríguez — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:07:11 +0000

The PGA Championship, the second Major of the year, takes place in two weeks at the Aronimink course in Philadelphia and, for now, we only have two Spaniards with their places secured. One is Jon Rahm and the other is David Puig. Beyond that, there is a third with fairly reasonable chances, although nothing can […]
