Disaster again struck for Jamie Whincup as Holdens Will Davison claimed his second Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama on Sunday.Four-time champion Whincup crossed the line first but he had already been hit with a 15 second post-race penalty for a controversial incident with 11 laps left, relegating him to 11th on the timesheets.It set up a final dog fight for the Great Race between 2009 winner Davison and Kiwi van Gisbergen.And it didnt disappoint.Trying to conserve fuel, Davison somehow held out a fast finishing van Gisbergen by 0.14 of a second - the closest competitive finish in the races 56 year history.Holdens Nick Percat was third.It ran out of fuel as I crossed the finish line, Davison said.I cant believe the way it panned out.Neither could Whincup.He copped the time penalty after trying to snatch second spot from Volvos Scott McLaughlin on lap 150.He tried to overtake on the inside of McLaughlin at The Chase, forcing the Volvo driver off the track.McLaughlin weaved back onto the track, spectacularly crashing with Holdens Garth Tander prompting yet another safety car.Whincup started all that, said Tander, whose Holden was written off by the incident.Jamie was being pretty desperate, its not on.Six-time Bathurst winner Whincup was apologetic.I dont know what to say. I feel sorry about that, he said.I will apologise but I felt the move was on.Whincup was looking for a reversal of fortunes after his last two disastrous Bathurst campaigns.Last year he sensationally ignored team orders to pit before passing a safety car, relegating him from second to 18th.And in 2014 the Holden gun also defied a team directive and ran out of fuel on the 161st and final lap while leading.As usual, there were no shortage of hard luck stories.In the end, eight of the 27 cars failed to finish, prompting six safety cars.The biggest name scalp was Fords Mark Winterbottom whose Supercars title defence appears in tatters after his brakes failed on lap 135.There was also no luck for sentimental favourite and defending champion Craig Lowndes.The Holden veteran had hoped to claim a seventh Bathurst to honour Peter Brock on the 10th anniversary of his mentors death.He finished fourth last after his campaign was sabotaged by early gear issues.Female driver Simona de Silvestre - who will compete in the Supercars full-time next year - finished 14th.Brocks anniversary attracted a four day attendance of 204,512 - the second biggest Bathurst 1000 crowd.Bathurst champions of the last decade honoured Brock in a pre-race parade driving some of the late greats most famous race cars.The crowd also gave a standing ovation on lap five, honouring Brocks famous 05 racing number.

Laudrup revealed Thursday he was notified of his dismissal in "the briefest of letters which gave no reasons why such hasty and final action was deemed necessary. The forgotten man of European golf surged into contention for a first win in three years at the Scottish Open.Italys Matteo Manassero was the youngest winner in European Tour history when he claimed the Castello Masters in 2010 aged 17 years and 188 days and added further titles in each of the next three seasons.The last of those came in the prestigious BMW PGA Championship in 2013 and helped Manassero reach a career-high of 25th in the world, but the 23-year-old arrived in Scotland a lowly 596th after just two top-10 finishes since the start of 2014.A change of technique in pursuit of more length off the tee was initially to blame for the slump in form, but Manassero admitted it then became a mental battle to rediscover the kind of form he showed on Friday with a 67 to lie two shots behind halfway leader Alex Noren.It has been really hard with a lot of ups and downs, mainly downs, said Manassero, who was just 16 in becoming the youngest winner of the Amateur Championship in 2009 and finished 13th in the Open at Turnberry a month later.I was feeling bad on the golf course. Every time I had an important or difficult shot I was missing it because of the [mental] approach. Its something that starts with little things and when you have never really played badly before, its hard and you keep going down.Manassero missed 16 cuts in succession from last years Irish Open and was 893rd in the world rankings following another early exit from Aprils Spanish Open.However, he showed signs of improvement the following two weeks in China and finishing 12th in Sweden and 13th in Germany recently confirmed he was back on the right track.I found in myself a way to get out of it, Manassero added. It was a slow process, it was not something that clicked and thats probably a good thing because I know why I am playing better and feel better.I got a lot of help, people not always cuddling me but telling me off for certain things.dddddddddddd You only want cuddles when you dont feel good but its the only thing you dont need probably.Its exciting, of course, being up on the leaderboard and when its by playing well and not just by scrambling well or by some sort of escape, its even more exciting and Im happy.Five birdies in the space of seven holes helped Noren card a flawless 66 to finish eight under par, a shot ahead of playing partner Eddie Pepperell (67) and New Zealands Danny Lee.Manassero shared fourth place with Branden Grace, Richard Bland and Jorge Campillo, with Padraig Harrington and Graeme McDowell a shot further back.Noren, who was eighth in the French Open last week, said: I like this place. Its a really fun course to play. Some weeks we play courses where its tough all the way around and here its kind of a really nice mix of tough holes and easier ones.Lee, who was the youngest European Tour winner before Manassero after victory in the Johnnie Walker Classic as an 18-year-old amateur, was supposed to be defending his Greenbrier Classic on the PGA Tour this week.But after devastating floods caused the event to be cancelled, the world No.48 decided to compete in Scotland and donate money for every birdie ($500) and eagle ($1,000) he makes to the flood-relief efforts in West Virginia.I know its not that much to help everybody but Im trying to make as much money as possible to add a little bit of help, Lee said. It was a huge breakthrough for me to capture my first PGA Tour victory last year and ever since Ive been playing some great golf.Further down the leaderboard, 2013 champion Phil Mickelson recovered from two early bogeys to add a 69 to his opening 76 and make the cut with a shot to spare.
