Silvia Pereira — Sun, 13 Sep 2026 18:16:12 +0000

– When a player wins a top-level golf tournament by eleven strokes over the runner-up and, moreover, the next twenty on the leaderboard are squeezed into a narrow six-stroke margin, something absolutely singular and unique has happened. – Shane Lowry (-23) has been that ‘something’ absolutely singular and unique. The Irishman, indeed, won the Irish […]

– On 15 May 2009, just over 17 years ago, Shane Lowry, a young Irish amateur, carded a 62 in the second round of his country’s Open, the Irish Open, a score that put him in the lead by two shots and helped him go on to win the tournament two days later. Today, also […]

– Something went wrong on this opening day of the Amgen Irish Open. Yes, we agree, the conditions have been harsh. It’s true that there was a lot of wind and, in the morning, it was also raining. It’s no less true that the mountains of tangled rough typical of a links like the Trump […]

Thanks, Adam: Rafa joins the fight with a borrowed bag

Alejandro Rodríguez — Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:45:05 +0000

Rafa Cabrera Bello arrived at the Omega European Masters without his clubs. Nothing new under the sun. It’s not something golfers face every day, but almost. His bag didn’t show up at Geneva airport and the Spaniard was forced to improvise an emergency solution to be able to play in Crans-sur-Sierre. It’s never pleasant to […]

We’re getting a silly grin in Switzerland…

– La Armada showed its teeth first and is now taking a few bites. After the first session of the second day of the Omega European Masters it turns out we have five Spaniards inside the provisional top 10 of the tournament. So yes, it has us grinning foolishly thinking about what’s coming this weekend… […]

Remarkable start to a new era for Ayora

Alejandro Rodríguez — Thu, 13 Aug 2026 13:37:58 +0000

– Ángel Ayora began a new chapter in his career this Thursday. The debut of the Danish Golf Championship this Thursday was also the first day of competition for the Málaga-born golfer without Juan Ochoa as his official caddie and with Adolfo Juan Luna as his faithful right‑hand man at tournaments. That said, Juan, his […]

Gentlemen, let’s put an end to the little joke about the Renaissance Club…

Alejandro Rodríguez — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 17:48:14 +0000

The Renaissance Club has been more than elusive with the Armada. It has even been cruel. The numbers are downright frightening. This week the eighth edition of the Scottish Open will be played on the North Berwick course and the reality is that there is not much to celebrate at present. It is not a course […]
