Rory McIlroy Superbly Saves Par From A Dead Tree Branch.
Rory McIlroy has saved some pars in his short professional career but never from the branch of a dead tree.
McIlroy was off to a blistering start on day three of the year’s final Major with back-to-back birdies before the bizarre incident on the third hole of the Ocean Course at Kiawah Island.
Officials moved the tee forward at the par four, third hole tempting players to go for the green.
However McIlroy’s ball was then lost to observers and with he and his caddy looking around in the ...
David Lynn – The Surprise Package Of The 94th PGA Championship.
If you are looking for a surprise showing in this year’s PGA Championship then look no further than England’s David Lynn.
Lynn’s appearance is just his second showing in a Major after having made his debut in the 2003 Open Championship.
It would suggest the game of the now 38-year old Lynn has not been up to standard in qualifying for the Majors.
But therein lies the problem with Lynn and it’s just that he has never sought to enter qualifying for either the U.S. Open or Open ...
Michael Hoey Disqualified In Bizarre Circumstances From PGA Championship.
Michael Hoey has fallen foul of the Rules of Golf after bravely fighting his way to a 70 on day two of the 94th PGA Championship at Kiawah Island.

It was a cruel blow for the reigning Alfred Dunhill Links champion who was competing in his first ever PGA Championship, ...

Ian Poulter Ready To Hand Olazabal Ryder Cup Boost With First Major Success.
Ian Poulter is ready to hand Jose Maria Olazabal a Ryder Cup lift and hopes of the Woburn golfer winning a first Major.
Poulter was standing tall along the Kiawah Island shoreline and just a handful of shots from the lead while the brutal windy conditions were cutting others down to size.
The 36-year old Poulter did bogey the last but he is lying at three under par and just a stroke behind the leading trio of Tiger Woods (71), Vijay Singh (69) and Carl Pettersson (74).
Poulter arrived in South Carolina ...
Rory McIlroy Finds His Curly Hair A Lot Curlier As He Straightens Himself For Wanamaker Glory.
The blustery conditions played havoc with Rory McIlroy’s curly hair but he straightened himself superbly and is pointed in the right direction for 94th PGA Championship glory at Kiawah Island.
On a day better suited for flying kites or wind-surfing it was a case of battening down the hatches and holding on as near 35 mph winds buffeted the exposed Ocean Course.
McIlroy walked from the course with a three over par 75 to be among the leading six players at two under par and just two behind the clubhouse ...
