The 1,198th ranked golfer in the world nearly won on Monday in his ninth PGA Tour start. University of Alabama product Bobby Wyatt got into the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on a sponsor’s exemption. The 23-year-old, who has no status on any major tour, found himself in the lead late in the weather-shortened, 54-hole […]
Closing bogey costs Woods spot in Wyndham Sunday final group
August 22, 2015 by
Tiger Woods’ final hole on Saturday cost him a spot in the last group on Sunday at the Wyndham Championship.

Different tournament, same top spot for Jordan Spieth
December 5, 2014 by
Jordan Spieth ended Day 1 of the Hero World Challenge on Thursday in the same place he ended his last tournament: atop the leaderboard.

Pablo Larrazabal’s golf ball ended up in a pretty unusual spot at the BMW PGA
May 24, 2014 by
For some reason, whenever Pablo Larrazabal is involved in a golf tournament, something strange is bound to happen, especially in 2014. On Thursday at the BMW PGA Championship, one of the biggest events on the European Tour calendar, Larrazabal fired an opening round 69, good enough for a T-14 at the Wentworth Club and in […]
Web.com Tour player rips into Nick Faldo for taking a spot at the RBC Heritage
April 18, 2014 by
In golf, unlike any sport out there, fans long to watch their veterans.

Jordan Spieth’s final round 62 on Monday should all but land him a spot on this Presidents Cup

June 24, 2012 by
Beau Hossler came up just short in his bid to become low amateur at the U.S. Open, but the week wasn’t a complete waste for the 17-year-old senior-to-be from California. For one, he held the lead in a major championship for a couple holes during the second round and received some serious airtime throughout the […]
How I drive the golf ball more on the sweet spot and not the heel?
May 6, 2012 by
QUESTION: I put some impact tape on my driver and I consistently hit the golf ball more towards the heel. I shoot in the high 80’s and have taken lessons for this problem. Video tape shows my hands pushing out slightly (towards the direction I’m facing). The results are pull hooks or outright shanks. Obviously […]
Rory McIlroy on the doorstep of taking over golf’s top spot
March 4, 2012 by
Golf fans used to marvel at the fact that, at the age of just 21, Tiger Woods took over the top spot in the world rankings. It was one of those rare feats that made you wonder if anyone would ever come close to matching the mark again. It looks like we may have our […]
