If you’re lucky, two missed cuts and a T22 finish in three major championship starts might be enough to place you among the contenders at your local club championship. Through 36 holes, Bland holds a one-stroke lead and a whopping 4.6 strokes gained: putting over the field. In itself, that’s a borderline unbelievable statement for […]
Congratulations! You’ve made the golf course harder, but have you made it hard enough to challenge the best golfers in the world? Well, hard to know, largely because the dirty little secret of course setup is that it is overwhelmingly dependent upon weather. Or it’ll blow downwind on the hard holes and into it on […]
It made the day-long viewing session a lot of fun Thursday, even into the night with sunset golf on the west coast. And when it became clear that dusk was falling on the course, it even inspired some of the pros to play quicker so they could sign that scorecard officially Thursday evening. Thursday’s early […]
You might see her at a shop opening in West L.A., and she could look like the Southern California Vons checkout girl she once was. And that Phil, in the heat of Kiawah and loving the hunt, didn’t look like Phil on Thursday, in the first round of the U.S. Then, finally, play began, Phil […]
What a round from Matthew Wolff, who has struggled on the course, took some time off and was open with his battles when speaking to the media earlier this week. ET on Thursday the broadcast switched from NBC to streaming on Peacock, but when golf fans switched over they were welcomed with a broadcast that […]
A combination of California sun, California eased restrictions and a California major championship had thousands streaming through the gates to watch several early featured groups take on the U.S. And who better to watch than Phil Mickelson? Golf’s most recent major championship winner lives just down the road, after all. “I mean, people were very […]
Open at Torrey Pines will begin the second round, all hoping to go low enough to qualify for the weekend. After waiting through a 90-miunte weather delay to start Thursday morning, Koepka went out and fired a two-under 69 on a blustery and fiery South Course. Due to the weather delay, some later groupings won’t […]
Lowry had just signed for his fourth straight round of par or better two weeks ago at the always difficult Memorial, and it would end up being his third top 10 in four tournaments, including a tie for fourth at the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. “I’m coming off a decent week at Kiawah and […]
“No, I’m not worried at all,” he said. And yes, DeChambeau is also in a two-plus-year drama with Koepka, and yes, he was asked why he’s called Brooksy, but not vice versa. To recap : The day after last month’s PGA Championship, a previously unseen Golf Channel video hit Twitter that showed Koepka roll his […]
That’s where I lived after finishing high school; I spent a year trekking the country in a Subaru Outback, exploring faraway places with the overarching goal of playing a round of golf in every state in the lower 48. On Sunday afternoon I began the trek from my apartment in Seattle down the coast to Torrey […]

1 has been in a mild funk on the PGA Tour this year, but during this first round , he ran off seven straight looks at birdie from no farther than 11 feet. But, yeah, like I said, I was swinging good today, gave myself a lot of opportunities and hit some good putts. After […]
Before Alex Beach won the 2019 PGA Professional Championship, and before he qualified for his fourth PGA Championship , he was just a kid, growing up and learning the game at Loggers Trail Golf Course in Stillwater, Minn. It also — cue the subject of this story — has an island green on the practice range […]
It took 76 career PGA Tour starts for Sam Burns to win his first-ever PGA Tour event. Burns rode a hot putter all week, a flatstick that might not be quite as good now if it wasn’t for some smart negotiating when he was in middle school. How? She promised a backyard putting green — […]
