It was a resurgent Brooks Koepka on Sunday at the Phoenix Open. After an eighteen-month battle with knee and hip injuries and missed cuts in his last three events the former world number one proved the doubters wrong.
Louis Oosthuizen did not look as assured on day three of the Open Championship but still finished the day with a one shot lead. Oosthuizen who started the day with a two shot advantage was joined in the lead late on by both Jordan Spieth and Collin Morikawa but a birdie at the 17th saw him grab a slender heading into Sunday.
It's The Masters and to celebrate here we bring you the Top 20 Masters Dramas Ever. Rory McIlroy was one stroke ahead when he walked onto the 10th tee on Sunday in 2011. What followed was horrible. Just horrible... “I felt really comfortable on that tee shot all week,” McIlroy said. “I just started it a little left.”
We didn’t have to wait long for the to come around again. It is less than 150 days since DJ holed the putt that earned him his first Green Jacket. Augusta is going to be a different proposition from last November. The winner aside, It is a brave man that takes much note of the performances in the 2020 event to educate his choices this week. There are so many factors in
Rickie Fowler has always liked to push the fashion boundaries, and he did just that on Thursday when he sported an untucked Hawaiian shirt at the Sentry Tournament of Champions.
The fairy tale has slowly unwound. Local boy, Darren Clarke, who led the field off on Thursday in the 148th Open Championship, took seven at the last to miss the cut. Rory McIlroy, who famously shot 61 around Royal Portrush at the age of 16, shot 65, equalling best score of the day, but agonisingly missed the cut by one. And our man, Gmac, held firm just making it through on the cut line, nine back from the leader.
Barring something quite extraordinary, it looks like the Ryder Cup will be staying in the USA after the 2020 Ryder Cup. It is difficult to see anything stopping Team USA from getting the 3½ out of the 12 points on offer in Sunday's singles to regain the cup.
Jordan Spieth was having a decent round yesterday. Level par for the first seven holes and all was well with the world, until the par four 8th. On a hole that requires precision and tidy positioning off the tee, Speith’s tee shot hit the fairway but then rolled too far, ran out of runway and dropped over the cliff edge.
Irish eyes were smiling on a thrilling final day of action at the Bridgestone International, and after several twists and turns a surprising winner came out on top. With over night leaders Jim Furyk and Justin Rose struggling to final round 72’s, it was left to Ireland's Shane Lowry to pick up the victory, with a final round of 66 at Firestone Country Club South.
Here's Jordan Speith's new ad for Coke. And it properly ties into the weather they have been having at Oakmont.
Golf is a sport driven by the feet. Walking from shot to shot, every step bringing you closer to the hole. Every element of your shot – the traction, the torque, the power and the precision – comes from the ground up, and few know this better than 3-time Major Champion Jordan Spieth.
It's a double bubble winning weekend as Rickie Fowler and Jordan Speith won the Scottish Open and John Deere Classic respictively.
