Final round of one over par sees Padraig finish in tied 35th place with a total of nine under par. Twenty under par won the event after a very windy day on the Old Course links. Padraig mixed four bogies with three birdies on a very tough day. A couple of fairway bunkers were the result of two of his dropped shots while all three birdies were the result of excellent approach play which resulted in three four foot putts for birdies. All in all a good weeks work!

Third round of four under par 68 sees Padraig finish at ten under par and safely into Sundays final round at St Andrews. He was a model of consistency with just one blemish on his card at the par three 11th hole, where he three putted from long range. Five birdies made it an enjoyable day but the pro am team failed to make the final day. He tees off in the final round at 9.40am with Tommy Fleetwood and Euan Walker. The forecast is for heavy wind so it will make for an interesting final day!

Padraig shoots a superb round of five under par 67 to head for the weekend on six under par and only five behind the leader. He got off to a nice start at Kingsbarns with a couple of early birdies but dropped a shot at the par four 7th hole. He got that straight back with two closing birdies to be out in 33 shots. Three more birdies followed on the back nine before a dropped shot at the last but he is still well in contention with two rounds to go at St Andrews. There was no joy in the team event as their twelve under par total leaves them six shots behind the cut line for Sunday! Padraig tees off at 11.23am local time with Joe Dean at the Old Course!

Padraig opens his Dunhill account with a one under par round of 71 around the famed Carnoustie links. He got off to a steady start but dropped a couple of shots late on to turn in 38 shots. He was much more like himself on the back nine as he made three birdies, two on par fives, which saw him sign for an under par round. He plays Friday at 10.50am with Joe Dean at the Kingsbarns links! In the team event, they trail by eight shots after an opening round of four under par.

Padraig is back at one of his favourite events of the year, the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship. It is his 25th year in a row to play the event, which is in itself a record! It is, as usual, being held over three of Scotlands finest courses, Carnoustie, the Old Course at St Andrews and Kingsbarns. Padraig is a two time winner of the championship and also won the pro-am with his good friend, JP McManus. Kieran McManus will partner him this week and it’s one to look forward to on Thursday as he starts in Carnoustie, the scene of  his first Open Championship victory back in 2007!

Tee Times ->  Opening round, Carnoustie, at 9am with Lee Westwood

Padraig fails to make the cut at the BMW PGA Championship after a second round of 77. He recorded three birdies during the round, all on the par fives, but just made too many mistakes, as he made eight bogies on the day. Poor driving was the main culprit, and a three putt on the par three 10th hole made it a day to forget. 

Padraig starts slowly at Wentworth as he records a two over par round of 74. Starting on the back nine, he got off to the perfect start with a birdie two at his opening hole. He gave that straight back with a double bogey at the par four 11th hole, before another birdie at the short par five 12th hole had him back at par. Unfortunately, he suffered another double at the tough par four 15th hole, where he founds trees off the tee and then a greenside bunker. He rounded off the nine in style with a birdie on the par five 18th hole. Another followed on the par five 4th hole before two late dropped shots saw him sign for a 74. Work to do on Friday!

Padraig is at the flagship DP World Tour event this week, the BMW PGA Championship. It is being played at the iconic Wentworth Club and a who’s who  of golf are playing. It also has the added prestige of being a Rolex event and a chance for players chasing Patraick Reed in the Race to Dubai standings. Throw in Ryder Cup qualification and it’s a momentous week in the players calendar. 

Tee Times ->  Opening round at 8.10am with Tom McKribbin and Oliver Lindell.
