James Morrison raced into a three-shot lead at the Omega European Masters after making a history-making start to his week in Switzerland.

Morrison, without a European Tour title since 2015, mixed an eagle and nine birdies with a lone bogey on his way to an opening-round 60, seeing the world No 223 break the course record at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club.

The 36-year-old came close to a historic '59 round' in Crans Montana, with a final-hole birdie seeing him set the clubhouse target at 10 under, putting him three ahead of compatriot Marcus Armitage and France's Robin Sciot-Siegrist.

"It's a four-round event, my 10 under isn't going to win today," Morrison said. "You'll need to be minus 20 or plus. Just got to keep your foot down and keep going and use that as a gee-up.

"Had a really good look on the last (the chip for eagle and a sub-60 round) and thought, just try to make this. The minute your focus goes like that, you chip it stiff, make birdie and shoot 10 under par. I was trying to hole that shot on the last, but next time maybe."

Beginning on the back nine, Morrison followed a chip-in birdie from off the 11th green by picking up a birdie-two at the 13th and holing a 30-foot eagle at the par-four next, with a two-putt gain at the par-five 15th taking him to five under after just six holes.

Morrison missed a five-footer to save par at the 18th but holed from long-range at the first and fired his approach at the second to tap-in range, with three birdies in a four-hole stretch from the fifth leaving him requiring a final-hole eagle to card the second sub-60 round in European Tour history.

The Englishman finished short of the green on the 633-yard par-five and was unable to hole his short pitch over the bunker, although was able to leave himself a close-range birdie to extend his advantage over the chasing pack.

Sciot-Siegrist responded to an opening-hole bogey by holing a 20-footer at the next and making four consecutive birdies from the fifth, before picking up shots at the 12th, 14th and 18th to get to seven under.

The world No 518 held solo second until being joined by Armitage, who made three straight gains from the seventh and posted four birdies in a four-hole stretch from the 13th on his way to a bogey-free 63.

Andy Sullivan and Dean Burmester both birdied two of their final three holes to post opening-round 64s, with Belgian duo Thomas Detry and Nicolas Colsaerts both in the group five off the pace.

Welcome to Switzerland! A Must on any Bucket List! Since 1291!

Ever thought about Golf Holidays in Switzerland? Switzerland offers a combination of unrivaled natural beauty, world class attractions, a vast medieval heritage, vibrant cities and indulging lifestyle. Moreover, Switzerland earns international fame with luxury watches, exquisite chocolate and world class events. The “Swiss Made” label stands for innovation, reliability and exclusivity.

The oldest Golf Course in Switzerland dates back to 1893 and the country, being made up by 70% of mountains, offers some of the world’s most dramatic golf experiences. Most of the countries’ golf courses are private or semi-private member clubs and hence add to the experience with their own distinct character.

Switzerland is a modern, neat and well organized country known to be one of the world’s politically and economically most stable democracies. Travelling here is therefore hassle-free and safe.

Why Golf in Switzerland?

Why golf and travel.

Switzerland has some great golf courses! A fact that is still well hidden from the public domain. The oldest Golf Course in Switzerland, Engadine Golf Club in St. Moritz dates back to 1893. Many golfers may be familiar with the Omega European Masters (European Tour) that is held annually at Crans-sur-Sierre since 1948, some with the Swiss Seniors Open (European Seniors Tour) that has a long-standing history in Bad Ragaz. Some acclaim as international championship venues also have Gerre-Losone (Ladies European Tour 2006-2012), Geneva (Challenge Tour) and Sempach (Challenge Tour). And, some of the world’s most renowned architects have left their marks here: Pete Dye, Jack Nicklaus, Robert Trent Jones Sr. and II, Jeremy Pern, Severiano Ballesteros, Donald and Peter Harradine plus Kurt Rossknecht to name just a few.

You can of course come to Switzerland only for its golf courses. But honestly, you would miss out on the true highlights the country boasts.  Combine your passion for the game with some of the best tourist attractions the world has to offer.  

Although most of Switzerland’s Golf Courses are located in the central plains around the country’s main urban neighbourhoods we recommend you focus on the courses in and around the Alps . They are truely unique and often only a mere few golf shots away from the country’s top sights and attractions.

Golf | Davis Riley wins at Colonial; LIV Golf player Richard Bland takes Senior PGA

FORT WORTH, Texas — Davis Riley shot even-par 70 while playing in the final group Sunday with Scottie Scheffler and still won a subdued Colonial by five strokes over the world’s No. 1 player and Keegan Bradley for his first individual victory on the PGA Tour.

Riley finished at 14-under 266. Bradley shot 67, and Scheffler 71 on a day when he hit only seven of 14 fairways and didn’t have a birdie until the 13th hole.

After beginning the final round with a four-stroke lead, Riley gave up a stroke with a bogey on the second hole when he drove into the right rough and then hit into the bunker. But that was the closest Scheffler — or anybody else — would get with wind gusts of 20 mph and more blowing throughout the day.

The 27-year-old Riley’s only other PGA Tour victory came when he and Nick Hardy won the Zurich Classic team event in New Orleans last year. The Mississippi native’s win at historic Colonial, which had been completely restored since last year’s tournament, earned him $1,638,000, the traditional winner’s plaid jacket and a fully restored and modernized 1975 Stingray car.

The final round was played on the same day that Grayson Murray’s parents said their 30-year-old son took his own life Saturday, a day after the two-time tour winner had cited illness when withdrawing from the event with two holes left in his second round.

PGA OF AMERICA

BENTON HARBOR, Mich. — Richard Bland had time off from LIV Golf and made it pay off in a major way when he won the Senior PGA Championship in his senior major debut, closing with an 8-under 63 for a three-shot victory at Harbor Shores.

In a final round delayed by about an hour because of storms, Bland hit what amounted to the winning shot on the par-5 15th, an approach to 6 feet for eagle. That took him from one shot behind Greg Chalmers to a one-shot lead when Chalmers could only manage a par.

The storms finally arrived, and the 51-year-old Bland returned to make three pars and claim his first victory since the 2021 British Masters, the European tour title that unwittingly started Bland on this amazing ride.

Bland did not realize until last year the Senior PGA Championship offers a one-time exemption to players who have won on the European tour in the last five years. He couldn’t play because the Senior PGA was held the same week as LIV Golf Bedminster in New Jersey. But he asked about this year, and the PGA of America provided the invitation.

Bland won by three shots over Richard Green, who shot 65.

EUROPEAN TOUR

ANTWERP, Belgium  — Nacho Elvira of Spain parred his final seven holes to close with an even-par 71 and hold on for a one-stroke victory at the Soudal Open in Belgium.

Elvira won for the second time on the European tour.

The Spaniard started the final round with a four-shot lead and was almost reeled in by Denmark’s Nicolas Norgaard, who missed a 12-foot birdie chance on the 18th hole that would have forced a playoff.

Norgaard had to settle for a 68 and a tie for second place with home favorite Thomas Pieters (66) and Romain Langasque, who birdied the last for a 68.

Elvira’s other win came at the Cazoo Open in Wales in 2021 and he was in tears after securing the title at Rinkven International Golf Club, where the final round had to be suspended midway through because of heavy rain that flooded the greens.

KORN FERRY TOUR

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Harry Higgs made it two playoff victories in a row on the Korn Ferry Tour when he made eagle on the second extra hole to beat Frankie Capan III in the Visit Knoxville Open.

The victory all but assured Higgs a return to the PGA Tour. The top 35 players at the end of the season earn cards, and Higgs moved up to No. 2 in the points list.

Higgs, who chipped in for eagle to force a playoff at the AdventHealth Championship last week, this time had to settle for par on the par-5 18th and a 5-under 65. Capan birdied the final hole for a 66 to force the playoff.

Both made birdie on the 18th, and then Higgs won it with an eagle for another trophy.

OTHER TOURS

Ryosuke Kinoshita ended three years without a victory on the Japan Golf Tour by closing with a 1-under 71 to win the Mizuno Open by two shots. The victory sends Kinoshita to the British Open this summer, along with Guntaek Koh and Yuto Katsuragawa. … Andreas Halvorsen won his first Challenge Tour event when he closed with a 1-under 71 to completed a wire-to-wire victory in the Danish Golf Challenge. … Morgane Metraux of Switzerland captured her second Ladies European Tour title when she overcame a rough start to close with a 1-over 72 for a three-shot victory in the Jabra Ladies Open at Evian Golf Resort in France. … Kieran Vincent took advantage of an open week on LIV Golf to close with a 6-under 66 for a four-shot victory in the KitKat Cash & Carry Pro-Am on the Sunshine Tour. … Akie Iwai won the Resort Trust Ladies with a 4-under 68 for a three-shot victory over Rio Takeda on the Japan LPGA. … Sohyun Bae shot even-par 72 and won the E1 Charity Open by three shots on the Korea LPGA.
