'I've not mumped or moaned' - David Law on having DP World Tour return in sights

David Law has never given the impression that he's the type to 'mump and moan', so there was never any danger that he'd feel sorry for himself after losing his DP World Tour card at the end of last season. The Aberdonian took being back on the HotelPlanner Tour on the chin, rolled up his sleeves and faced the challenge of trying to regain a seat back at the top table in European golf head on. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad David Law acknowledges the fans after clinching his win in the D+D REAL Czech Challenge earlier this month | Getty Images Helped by recent title triumph in the D+D REAL Czech Challenge, Law is on course to achieve that goal at the first attempt, hence why the 2018 winner is heading into this week's Farmfoods Scottish Challenge supported by The R&A with a spring in his step. The 34-year-old sits fifth in the Road to Mallorca Rankings and is determined to cement his position in the battle for 20 DP World Tour cards by producing a strong performance on Scottish soil as the £250,000 event is held at Schloss Roxbughe near Kelso for the first time. 'I've not mumped and moaned about being back out here,' Law, who spearheads a 21-strong Caledonian contingent teeing up at the Borders venue, told The Scotsman before heading out for a practice round on Tuesday. 'I had a mindset at the start of the season that this was about getting back in contention in tournaments a bit more and trying to shoot low scores again. On the main tour, that opportunity obviously isn't there that often, whether it is being in contention or shooting low scores. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I've managed to do that on both fronts this year, which has been great. It's been really good to get in the hunt to win golf tournaments again because that's something you need to practice. My aim was to be in contention and uncomfortable a bit more.' Asked what he meant by that, the 2019 ISPS Handa Vic Open winner on the main tour added: 'It's uncomfortable when you are in contention to win a golf tournament. You are putting yourself out there to essentially fail. David Law shows trophy after winning the D+D REAL Czech Challenge at Royal Beroun Golf Club |'Only one person can win every week and I think it is quite easy to get sucked into a mindset on the main tour whereby 12th or 15th is okay, even 20th is okay. They are better than okay. They are great weeks in tough fields and great tournaments. 'Whereas out here that doesn't cut it. I don't want to be out here for any more than this year, so the only way that was going to happen was if I had big weeks, so it's nice to have been able to do that.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Law's title triumph in this event came at Macdonald Spey Valley in Aviemore, a couple of hours from his beloved home city of Aberdeen. 'Yeah, it's probably the fondest win I've had,' he admitted. 'To do that with all my family there was amazing and at a tournament that was always my favourite one to play in. I'd never played on the main tour at that point. That was always our big tournament, wasn't it?' Helped by that win, Law stepped up to the DP World Tour in 2019 along with Grant Forrest, Liam Johnston and Bob MacIntyre. Seven years on, he's hoping it can be a similar Scottish success story, with in-form Daniel Young also currently in a card-winning position and Euan Walker, Calum Fyfe and Ryan Lumsden there or thereabouts as well. David Law celebrates winning the 2018 SSE Scottish Hydro Challenge at Macdonald Spey Valley in Aviemore |'The standard is obviously very high and there are a lot of good players out here,' noted Law. 'Not only guys who have played on the tour in the past but a lot of guys who are going to play on the tour in the future. It has been quite a good experience, to be honest with you. 'I think there's a good opportunity for us to have a good few of us (Scottish players) coming off at the end of the season. The last year I played was 2018 and four of us out of the 15 graduated, which was amazing. I don't think there has ever been that many from Scotland and there is no reason why that can't happen again as a lot of the guys are playing good golf.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad While finishing as high as he possibly can on the Road to Mallorca points list is his No 1 priority, Law is allowing himself a DP World Tour outing next week. Understandably so given that the Nexo Championship, which is being held at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, will be a proper home gig. 'I said at the start of the year if I had 800 points (on the HotelPlanner Tour) come the Trump event. I'd try and play it. I think I am something like two-and-a-half points shy, so I can let myself off with that,' he said, smiling.

New York gunman was targeting NFL offices but took the wrong lift, mayor says
A gunman who killed four people at a Manhattan office building was trying to target the headquarters of the National Football League (NFL) but took the wrong lift, according to New York City mayor Eric Adams. Investigators believe Shane Tamura, of Las Vegas, was trying to get to the NFL offices after shooting several people on Monday in the building's lobby but accidentally entered the wrong set of lifts, Mr Adams said in interviews on Tuesday. Advertisement Four people, including an off-duty New York City police officer, were killed. Police said Mr Tamura had a history of mental illness, and a rambling note found on his body suggested he had a grievance against the NFL over an unsubstantiated claim that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). He had played American football in high school in California nearly two decades ago but never in the NFL. 'He seemed to have blamed the NFL,' the mayor said. 'The NFL headquarters was located in the building, and he mistakenly went up the wrong elevator bank.' Advertisement The note claimed he had been suffering from CTE – the degenerative brain disease that has been linked to concussions and other repeated head trauma common in contact sports — and said his brain should be studied after he died, two people familiar with the matter told the Associated Press. It also specifically referenced the National Football League, one of the people familiar with the matter said. The note also referenced former NFL player Terry Long, who was diagnosed with CTE, and the manner in which Mr Long killed himself in 2005. The note accused the NFL of concealing the dangers to players' brains for profit. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called the shooting 'an unspeakable act of violence in our building', saying he was deeply grateful to the law enforcement officers who responded and the officer who gave his life to protect others. Advertisement NYPD officers stand in line during the dignified transfer of Didarul Islam, who was shot and killed by a gunman (Angelina Katsinas/AP) The shooting took place at a skyscraper that is home to the headquarters of both the NFL and Blackstone, one of the world's largest investment firms, as well as other tenants. The company confirmed one of its employees, Wesley LePatner, was among those killed. 'Words cannot express the devastation we feel,' the firm said in a statement. 'Wesley was a beloved member of the Blackstone family and will be sorely missed. She was brilliant, passionate, warm, generous, and deeply respected within our firm and beyond.' A Yale graduate, Ms LePatner was a real estate executive at Blackstone, according to the firm's website, and spent more than a decade at Goldman Sachs before joining the firm in 2014. Advertisement Surveillance video showed the man exiting a double-parked BMW just before 6.30pm carrying an M4 rifle, then marching across a public plaza into the building. Then, he started firing, police commissioner Jessica Tisch said, killing a police officer working a corporate security detail and then hitting a woman who tried to take cover as he sprayed the lobby with gunfire. New York police officers embrace (Angelina Katsanis/AP) The man then made his way to the lift bank and shot a guard at a security desk and shot another man in the lobby, the commissioner said. 'Our officer, he was slain in the entryway to the right as soon as he entered the building, the suspect entered the building,' Mr Adams said in a TV interview. 'He appeared to have first walked past the officer and then he turned to his right, and saw him and discharged several rounds.' Advertisement The man took the lift to the 33rd floor offices of the company that owned the building, Rudin Management, and shot and killed one person on that floor. The man then shot himself, the commissioner said. The building, 345 Park Avenue, also holds offices of the financial services firm KPMG. The officer killed was Didarul Islam, 36, an immigrant from Bangladesh who had served as a police officer in New York City for more than three years, Ms Tisch said at a news conference. 'He was doing the job that we asked him to do. He put himself in harm's way. He made the ultimate sacrifice,' ms Tisch said. 'He died as he lived. A hero.'
