The last few months have been a struggle and it’s be a long summer where, although I seem to be making cuts, there has been no headway in terms of finishing positions.

September is a very busy month for me. I'm playing two tournaments and the honour of being Captain of the Great Britain And Irish team in the Vivendi Trophy.  Despite the fact that a number of our players will not be available, I still think our team will be strong enough to compete with the Europeans in a tournament that is played in the honour of Seve and all that he stands for in not just European golf but the whole golfing world.

all the best.........Paul

After a disappointing run up to the British Open I was still so delighted to be teeing off in the greatest event of the year.  I had 3 good rounds which put me in a great position for Sunday but, as has been the case most of the year, my score on Sunday didn’t reflect how solid I played and I dropped down the field.

I am now in the middle of a 4 week break, enjoying some family time.  Due to not being eligible to play in either event in the USA, WGC Bridgestone Invitational and the US PGA, I only missing 2 events on the European Tour.

I am looking forward to the next run of tournaments, starting next week... MORE »

It was a disappointing return to one of my favourite courses in Ireland, County Louth GC in Baltray, finishing tied 67th.  The good Irish weather did it's best to make the conditions difficult.

I felt I played really well and hit the ball solidly but my short game let me down and in those weather conditions you need your short game to be at its best.  I have been practising my chipping and bunker play in readiness for the next few weeks.  It was a great win and home story for Shane Lowry at the Irish Open and I wish him all the best for the rest of the year.

The BMW Championship at Wentworth was a busy week, and I really... MORE »

After four weeks away playing in China, Korea and Barcelona, I now take a week off before I play the next 4 events starting at the Irish Open next week.

I feel my game has been pretty good in the last month, and I don't feel I got the right results for the quality of golf played.  However, I am really looking forward to next four weeks, which concentrates on Ireland and the UK and covers courses where I've had success in the past. 

Next week I'm back for The Irish Open, which is played at County Louth GC in Baltray, a course where I played as a junior in the winter months.  I... MORE »

First of all Happy New Year to everyone. Sorry it's a bit late but I've been busy practising. I have returned from the Middle East after a very disappointing time on the golf course, where after a lowly finishing position in Abu Dhabi, I missed the cut in Qatar and Dubai (the first time in 17 years). The bottom line is I didn't play very well and have a lot of work to do on my game to turn things around which I am vigorously doing at the moment in the snow in the UK!!

I return to competitive golf at Pebble Beach next week, the AT&T Pro Am, where I am playing with Dermot Desmond, a tournament I have always really... MORE »
