Hannah Green again wins LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship

Hannah Green won the LPGA Tour’s JM Eagle LA Championship for the second consecutive year Sunday, holing out twice from off the greens in a pivotal back-nine stretch at challenging Wilshire Country Club. A year after making a 25-foot birdie on the final hole of regulation and winning on the second hole of a playoff, Green — with help from Maja Stark — took the late drama out of this one for her fifth LPGA Tour triumph and second of the year. “It wasn’t as a eventful as the last couple days. I was nervous,” Green said. “And I’ve never […]

Scottie Scheffler extends dominant run with RBC Heritage win

A Masters green jacket wasn’t enough for Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler was running on emotional fumes fresh off his four-shot triumph at Augusta National, but full of purpose that more than made up for his lack of preparation for the RBC Heritage. The result not only was similar, it has come to be expected. He rarely missed a shot. He gave little hope to those chasing him. And he walked away from Harbour Town on Monday morning with another victory that extended a dominance not seen since the peak years of Tiger Woods. “I didn’t show up here just to have some sort […]

Scottie Scheffler closes with 68, wins another Masters title

A victory at the 2024 Masters seemed inevitable for Scottie Scheffler. The Texan has been ranked No. 1 in the world for more than 80 weeks during his short career. He’d won eight times on the PGA Tour since February 2022, a stretch that saw him become the first golfer ever to collect the Players Championship in back-to-back years. Scheffler is regarded as perhaps golf’s best ball striker since Tiger Woods in his prime, and Scheffler’s magical hands around the greens also have drawn comparison to you-know-who. Until Sunday, Scheffler had only one major championship victory, the 2022 Masters, which might have been […]

Fowler wins Par 3 Contest after 3-year absence from Masters

Rickie Fowler has returned to the Masters after a three-year absence, and already he’s been able to lift up a trophy. The question now is whether that will cost him an opportunity to slip on a jacket. Fowler won the traditional Par 3 Contest at Augusta National on Wednesday, making his way around what many consider the most picturesque piece of the property in 5-under par. That was good for a two-stroke victory over Sepp Straka, J.T. Poston and Santiago De La Fuente, and earn Fowler the glittering crystal bowl that goes to the winner. Yet nobody has won the Par 3 Contest and the […]

Lottie Woad clutches out Augusta National Women’s Amateur

Bob Shoemaker stood under a tree near the Augusta National Golf Club clubhouse on Saturday shortly after his daughter, Bailey, made a clutch 5-foot par putt on the 18th hole to maintain a 1-stroke lead in the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Shoemaker put a plastic Snoopy golf club in Bailey’s hands when she was 1½ years old, and now the USC freshman was on the verge of possibly winning the premier event in women’s amateur golf. After Shoemaker carded a bogey-free 6-under 66, the lowest final round in the five-year history of the ANWA, there was only one player left […]

Rory McIlroy shares lead at Players despite drama on 7th hole

Despite hitting two tee shots into the water and being at the center of a controversial drop after the second one, four-time major champion Rory McIlroy opened the 50th Players Championship with a 7-under 65 to grab a share of the first-round lead Thursday. McIlroy, the 2019 Players Championship winner, was tied atop the leaderboard with Xander Schauffele and reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, who had much more uneventful opening rounds at TPC Sawgrass. McIlroy had just taken the lead at 8 under when he pulled his drive left on the par-4 seventh hole, his 16th of the round. McIlroy’s ball crossed a hazard, […]

Tour rookie Jake Knapp wins Mexico Open despite driver woes

PGA Tour rookie Jake Knapp lost a four-shot lead in seven holes and then held it together with a remarkable short game Sunday, closing with an even-par 71 to earn the Mexico Open at Vidanta and earn a trip to the Masters. Knapp stated he still sends a text after each round to his grandfather, who died last year, and this message might require a lot of detail. He didn’t hit a fairway until the eighth hole and found only two the entire round — the fewest in the final round of a PGA Tour win in the past 40 years, according […]

Matthieu Pavon wins Farmers to become first Frenchman winner in PGA Tour history

Matthieu Pavon made an 8-foot putt for a dramatic birdie on No. 18 at Torrey Pines South for a 1-shot victory in the Farmers Insurance Open on Saturday that made him the first Frenchman to collect on the PGA Tour. He raised his arms in celebration and shouted before hugging caddie Mark Sherwood after the putt rolled in as the municipal gem high above the Pacific Ocean glowed under the late-afternoon sun. “I have no words. It is amazing,” the PGA Tour rookie, 31, stated moments after the victory. Pavon took further stock of his historic accomplishment after he had an […]
