Thomas Gögele edged a tense final day battle with Bradley Dredge to win Legends Tour’s Senior Italian Open with a superb 54-hole total of -19 after scores of 64, 66 and 67. The 53-year-old German had a one-shot lead over Dredge heading into the final 18 holes at San Domenico, and it quickly became a two-horse race as Gögele made two birdies and the Welshman picked up three in the first six holes to be locked together on -16. Both players birdied the 8th and 10th but they were finally separated when Dredge dropped a shot on the 14th. Gögele…

Rogan was blown away with Chimaev’s performance and he doesn’t see anything else that makes sense outside of a title shot against reigning champion Dricus du Plessis. “That guy’s a scary ass motherf*cker,”…

However, the clash seems to suit all parties, so things could be thrashed out successfully before that date.

Kabayel is also an avoided heavyweight who goes about his work a little differently. Methodical body-centred breakdowns of Arslanbek Makhmudov and Frank Sanchez have propelled the German into a fringe player. This…
