Tour veteran Stewart Cink rolled back the years to take his third RBC Heritage title on Sunday, almost 21 years to the day from his first. The 47-year-old carded a final-round one-under-par 70 to register a second victory of the season, having won the season-opening Safeway Open back in September.
John Catlin claimed his third victory in just 13 events at the Austrian Golf Open after the American triumphed in a dramatic five-hole play-off with Maximilian Kieffer, following a similarly thrilling final-day battle with the German in regulation play.

Benjamin Hebert birdied the final hole late in the day to steal the first-round lead at the Magical Kenya Open presented by Johnnie Walker, the Frenchman carding a seven-under-par round of 64 to take a one-stroke advantage ahead of a packed leaderboard at Karen Country Club.
Jeff Winther is targeting a maiden European Tour win after carding a second consecutive round of 67 to reach eight under par at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.

When Nelly Korda’s final putt dropped at Lake Nona Golf & Country Club, the emotions took over. Tears welled in her eyes, as she realised the day’s reward.

Paul Casey produced a stunning birdie-eagle finish in a bogey-free round of 64 to take a one shot lead into the final day of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

Not since the heydays of one Tiger Woods have we seen such a dominant performance. Johnson was out of the traps fast with his opening seven-under-par 65 and despite a slightly lacklustre showing on Friday he stormed it from there.
