Wales' Chloe Williams faded on the final day of the Mallorca Golf Open as Germany's Alexandra Forsterling stormed to her second Ladies European Tour title in two months.

Williams, who was chasing her first career victory, took a one-shot lead into the final round in Spain but carded a four-over 76 to finish in a tie for sixth on five under, eight behind Forsterling.

The 28-year-old recorded two double-bogeys and a bogey on her front nine before two further blemishes coming home on a disappointing afternoon.

Forsterling shot a faultless five-under 67, with two birdies going out and three gains on her back nine, to end on 13 under, five strokes clear of Race to the Costa del Sol leader Trichat Cheenglab of Thailand and six ahead of Anne van Dam of Netherlands.

Forsterling had secured her maiden Ladies European Tour title at the Swiss Open in September and this second success leaves her fifth on the Race to the Costa del Sol ahead of the final event of the season.

"I was definitely nervous. The first couple of holes I was like, 'calm down, breathe' and then again towards the end. Winning in Switzerland definitely helped me. You get used to handling your emotions.

The kids are alright

New Euro Tour winner has his 6-year-old to thank for saving him from disastrously unlucky break

Jeff Winther celebrates with his family after winning the Mallorca Golf Open, his first European Tour title, on Sunday.

A source on the ground at the European Tour’s Mallorca Golf Open called Sunday’s winner, Jeff Winther, a “great bloke” whose victory would be quite popular among the rank-and-file members. Fellow Danish golfers Søren Kjeldsen and Joachim B. Hansen were there to celebrate with their countryman Winther on the 18th green, dousing him for his first career title on the Old World circuit.

Winther’s family was there as well, and it turns out they may have played as critical a role in his victory than any shot that the veteran hit in Sunday’s final round. We’re told the beautiful Spanish resort island setting of Mallorca was a popular one for the families to tag along this week, and Winther had his wife and his 6-year-old and 2-year-old kids there. For Winther, it was 6-year-old Nora who came through in the clutch when he and his wife got trapped in the bathroom earlier in the day.

"After breakfast I went to have a shower and my wife came in to use the bathroom as well," the newly-crowned Winther said. "The door closed, and there's no lock, but we locked ourselves in. There's no lock on the door, but the handle didn't work.

"Our little girl Nora, 6 years old, had to go and find guys at reception to break down the door. We were in there for 45 minutes, I think. I thought, 'Geez not today, not Sunday, you're leading the freaking event. Might not get there for your tee time'. What a morning.”

So what cut of the winner’s check is Nora due? Is there a monetary equivalent in toys or candy her dad owes her? Without the child, it may have been another missed opportunity at a victory and via the most unfortunate, frustrating and embarrassing breaks one could endure. That seems like cause to shower the 6-year-old with whatever she wants for the rest of the year.

Winther went on to post a final-round even-par 71 to win by a shot and escape the traffic at the top of a leader board that incldued Sebastian Soderberg, Pep Angles and Jorge Campillo. The day included this miraclous switch-hitting par save early in the round to maintain his lead.

As it turns out, the stressful ordeal in the bathroom seemed to center Winther for the round that was to come.

"I think it probably settled the nerves because I thought I might miss my tee time and thought I might not get out. The kids are in the living room, 6 and 2 years old, what can you do?

"It's unbelievable [to win with his family here], it's not sinking in. I couldn't have a better week. I said at the start of the week that this was going to be like a holiday and apparently holidays work out for me."

As someone with four kids, this feels like a strong endorsement for having some kids around, you know, aside from the love, pride, responsibility and emotional fulfillment parts, all that. Congrats to both Nora and Jeff on a legendary and happy day.

'Golf is golf, golf isn't disabled' - Clinic hosts local disabled people at G4D @ Horizon Irish Open

The G4D Tour, European Disabled Golf Association (EDGA) and Golf Ireland came together this week at the G4D @ Horizon Irish Open to put on a clinic for local disabled people and potentially find the next Brendan Lawlor.

The third event of the inaugural G4D Tour season was taking place at Mount Juliet Golf Estate ahead of the Horizon Irish Open, with ten of the world's top golfers with a disability battling it out to join Kipp Popert, who won the first two G4D events of the year at the Betfred British Masters hosted by Danny Willett and the Porsche European Open, in the winner’s circle. 

And alongside the competitive action, EDGA hosted a coaching clinic for a local disability organisation, with some of the members having little or no experience of golf.

EDGA's Head of Development Mark Taylor was one of those leading the clinic, and he was delighted to give participants the chance to learn and experience the game and potentially even follow in the footsteps of local favourite and World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD) Number One Lawlor.

"We're trying to showcase the game and the health benefits, it's a unique opportunity to get organisations from the disability sector to come and view and understand how good golf can be for people with disabilities," he said.

These new players can hopefully continue to become participants, regular golfers, and maybe even then get further into the competitive strands of the game as well

"We've had a mixed group of participants, some have played the game before, some have only played mini golf but it's nice to showcase how good the game can be, get the organisation involved and give them an opportunity together with Golf Ireland to create a player pathway.

"These new players can hopefully continue to become participants, regular golfers, and maybe even then get further into the competitive strands of the game as well.

"Golf is golf, golf isn't disabled, golf is just the game. The difference that we can make to people's lives is quite amazing, I've worked in golf for all of my life and this is one the best jobs I've had because the difference I can make to somebody's life and the family around them is immense.

"It really can make a huge difference to these people because golf is a wonderful game and we very often forget the health benefits around it."

Scottie Scheffler arrested by police before second round

World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler was charged with assaulting a police officer outside Valhalla Golf Club hours before starting his second round at the 2024 PGA Championship.

Scheffler — who was also charged with third-degree criminal mischief, reckless driving, and disregarding traffic signals from an officer directing traffic — was released by police just in time to take to the course for his tee-off time of 10:08am ET. He impressed with a five-under round of 66 that moved him into third, at nine-under for the tournament.

The Louisville Metropolitan Department of Corrections, who posted a mugshot of the 27-year-old, said he was booked in at 7.28am local time and released at 8.40am. Scheffler later described the incident as “a big misunderstanding”.

The start of Friday’s second round was delayed by 80 minutes because of an unrelated crash near the course . Louisville police said a shuttle bus had struck and killed a pedestrian outside the golf club. Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg later named him as local man John Mills.

PGA Championship contender Robert MacIntyre credits ‘happy Bob’ mindset for good golf

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Robert MacIntyre is used to making on-the-fly adjustments, ones that have brought him to this moment — tied for fourth at the PGA Championship after shooting a 5-under-par 66 on Thursday.

The left-handed golfer grew up battling the swirling gusts customary to his hometown of Oban in the Scottish Highlands. He dominated Scotland’s amateur scene on the best links courses in the world, where failure to acclimate to changing conditions can drive you into the ground. But this week — as he plays the PGA Championship as a PGA Tour member for the first time — MacIntyre is facing his biggest adjustment yet.

MacIntyre earned his PGA Tour card after a successful 2023 DP World Tour season (formerly the European Tour). But since picking up his bags and establishing a base in Orlando, Fla., to play in the tour full time, MacIntyre has been open about the fact he’s struggling to adapt to his new lifestyle. He’s chasing his dream of winning major championships, but the day-to-day inner workings of that effort are not what he expected.

The weeks are long. The stakes are high. Many players keep to themselves. The environment is a stark contrast to MacIntyre’s experience on the DP World Tour, and it’s not just because he’s playing new golf courses with foreign strains of grass. His European peers like to chat. The Americans, in his experience, don’t. Swing coaches, psychologists and trainers accompany their players to practice sessions and dinners. On the DP World Tour, everyone is in it together. Time on the road felt like home away from home for MacIntyre. So far, the PGA Tour has been far from that.

Scottie Scheffler is in a fight at this PGA Championship. It’s the best thing for golf

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — In case anyone had forgotten how dominant he has been this season, Scottie Scheffler wasted little time reminding them Thursday at Valhalla Golf Club. The world’s top-ranked player returned from a three-week absence, drove his tee shot down the right side of the No. 1 fairway, then launched a ball 167 yards to the green, where it bounced once and dropped into the bottom of the cup for an eagle.

As the gallery roared at the 106th PGA Championship, Scheffler slapped hands with his caddie Ted Scott. A slight smirk crept across his face, as if to say, “Can you believe it?” Only there’s no reason to not believe it when it comes to Scheffler, whose dominance has been so complete since March that the story can be told without saying a word. Just listen to the pauses and sighs that precede most of the comments when opponents are asked about his play.

Scheffler shoots 4-under 67

Scottie Scheffler finishes his first round with a 4-under 67.

It is the sixth time Scheffler has gained five-plus shots on the field tee-to-green in a major championship round since the beginning of 2022.

No other player in that span has more than three such rounds.

Rahm rallies, shoots 1-under-par

Jon Rahm today:

First 12 holes: 3 over, -2.50 strokes gained putting.

Last six holes: 4 under, +1.14 strokes gained putting.

Rahm finishes with a 1-under 70.

Tom Kim shoots 66

Tom Kim (66 today, age 21) is the youngest player to begin a PGA Championship with 66 or better since Sergio Garcia opened with 66 in 1999 at age 19.

Scheffler birdies 15

After a three-putt bogey on the par-3 14th, Scottie Scheffler responds with a birdie on 15.

The champions know how to follow up bogeys with birdies.

Scheffler is 4-under-par with three holes to play.

Tom Hoge shoots 66

Eight birdies today for Tom Hoge

His previous career-high in a major championship round was just five.

Currently leading the field in average proximity to the hole.

Scheffler 3-putt bogey on 14

After birdieing No. 13, Scottie Scheffler with a three-putt bogey on the 14th.

Scheffler falls back to 3-under-par, six back of leader Xander Schauffele.

Tom Kim in the mix

One year ago at the PGA Championship, Tom Kim famously fell into a muddy creek at Oak Hill, becoming one of the buzzy moments of the major.

One year later, Kim is in the mix near the top of the leaderboard at Valhalla.

Kim is 5-under-par through 13 holes, having one of the rounds of the day in the afternoon wave.

First down, Jon Rahm

It's been an adventurous first round for Jon Rahm at the PGA Championship.

Golfers under par at the PGA Championship

There are currently 64 players under par at Valhalla Golf Club.

The most players under par after round one of the PGA Championship is 60 (2006 at Medinah).

Wyndham Clark responds after an opening bogey

After bogeying his first hole of the PGA Championship, Wyndham Clark responded with birdies on holes 4, 7 and 8.

Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion, is with a plethora of golfers at 2-under-par.

Brian Harman's relief on No. 7

This type of relief being awarded to any PGA Tour player, much less in a major, is just baffling to me. I just don’t buy that the cart path was in play at all. And it slowed down what is already a slow group, as Harman hesitated over the initial lie and then brought in a rules official.

On a side note, perfect touch for ESPN production to drop a “PGA Jr. League” graphic onto the screen. Because nothing will get kids into this game quite like a grown man dropping a ball from his knee.

Thomas Detry 4 under through 9

Among the golfers in the afternoon wave, Thomas Detry is having a stellar start.

Playing the back side first, Detry is 4 under through his first nine holes, which includes birdies at 17 and 18.

Detry is five off the lead making the turn.

McIlroy keeping it tight (-lipped)

Rory McIlroy, a man known for being physically incapable of not giving his thoughts on things, has turned questions that even so much as acknowledge outside issues into non-answers.

💬 "I'm ready to play this week."

💬 "It's always nice to be inside the ropes."

💬 "Happy to be here."

It's already a long way back

That is just an absolutely disastrous beginning for Jon Rahm, who as you've seen is 4-over through six holes.

The 2023 Masters champion and 2021 U.S. Open winner has bogeyed 2, 4, 5 and 6. Keep in mind that while three of the four are playing over par today, the par-4 4th has a 3.84 scoring average and is a definite birdie opportunity.

Even if it's a difficult opening stretch, to drop strokes on all four just cannot be done if you are to make any sort of run at this thing.

Right now Rahm is tied for 141st out of 156 people in the field, knotted up with names like Ryan van Velzen and Takumi Kanaya.

A rank start for Rahm

T142: Jon RAHM (+4) +4 thru 6

Goodness me, what a horrible day it's been already for Jon Rahm.

The Spaniard is on a run of three consecutive bogeys and has actually dropped shots at four of his first six holes.

The opportunities are there to claw the shots back - but only if you're in the form to take them.

Xander Schauffele leads the PGA Championship. But can he finish the job?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — This didn’t change your mind at all, did it? You knew Xander Schauffele would be here. You knew he’d play Round 1 at the PGA Championship well. Because when you’re a golf-playing robot, when there’s no difference in your mind between Thursday and Sunday, there’s zero doubt you’ll be right in the mix at a major.

This is why Schauffele does deserve your respect, why he’s been the second-best golfer in the world on paper. Schauffele does not have bad weeks. He hasn’t finished outside the top 25 since February. He hasn’t been outside the top 20 in a major since April 2022. The only person with more top-10s than Schauffele (8) is world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (9). And Thursday at Valhalla, Schauffele shot a course-record 62 to remind everyone of what Schauffele really is: A great golfer.

Yet none of it means a damn thing to you, does it?

It won’t until he does it on Sunday. No matter how many times you’re told how great Schauffele is, how consistent he is or how many times he’s finished toward the top of the FedEx Cup standings, you won’t treat him like one of the best golfers of his era until you see him on a Sunday, on the biggest stages, staring down his peers and holding on for a win.

Read more about Schauffele's round here .

Scheffler drops a shot

After a 3-under-par start, Scottie Scheffler bogeys the par-4 5th hole after finding the right greenside bunker.

Scheffler is 2 under for the tournament, seven back of leader Xander Schauffele.
