Phil Mickelson ended his opening round of the U.S. Open highly critical of overzealous and inconsiderate mobile phone users at Torrey Pines. The six-time major winning Mickelson posted a disappointing four-over par 75 in yet another quest to win the one major, the now 51-year-old so desperately seeks. Though Mickelson’s first round, and those of many other competitors, was not helped by fans clearly distracting players in taking photographs and video clips and as diplomatic as Mickelson strives ...

If Rory McIlroy as Chairman of the PGA Tour Players Advisory Council gets his way, and it seems he may have, then greens books and the practice of arm-lock putting will be ‘outlawed’ on golf’s biggest tour. It was reported last week, the 16-PGA Tour player council that McIlroy heads voted two weeks ago to ban the books, which detail slopes and contours on putting surfaces. All it needs now is for the full PGA Tour board to rubber stamp the decision, and that could be with the move to come into ...

Jon Rahm blames himself and not the PGA Tour for his forced withdrawal from the Memorial and revealing he had delayed undertaking a coronavirus vaccination. Rahm stated he failed to prioritise the importance of the pre-Memorial vaccination and instead got carried away with his golf preparations. As we now know, this decision to delay the vaccination proved extremely costly with Rahm walking from the course on day leading ‘Jack’s Event’ by a dominating six shots. Though no sooner had the Spaniard ...

Here’s a strange twist in the Brooks Koepka/Bryson DeChambeau on-going controversy. What emerged from a ‘rouge’ video clip of a PGA Championship Golf Channel post-round interview with Koepka, is now still a strong topic of conversation nearly a month on. Rewind to Kiawah Island and Koepka clearly was annoyed firstly with the noise DeChambeau was making in walking behind where Koepka was being interview by the Golf Channel, and with Koepka showing his disapproval by rolling his eyes ...

The European Tour’s newest champion Jonathan Caldwell wasted little time confirming his intention to contest a maiden ASI Scottish Open after pulling off the ‘best shot of my career’ to win the Scandinavian Masters in Sweden. The Belfast golfer landed a stunning 142-yard gap wedge shot from light rough right of the 18th, to near tap-in distance for a closing hole birdie in a final round 64 to win by a shot at 18-under par on the Vaddla course outside of Gothenburg. Caldwell, and who turned ...

Four years after mixing his golf by working part-time behind the counter in local golf shop and Jonathan Caldwell pulled off the shot of his career to capture a first win at the inaugural Scandinavian Mixed hosted by Annika and Henrik in Sweden, Caldwell sent his 142-yard penultimate gap wedge shot from light rough right of the 18th high in the air and with his ball coming to rest to within virtual tap-in distance for a closing birdie and in an equal best round of the week on an eight-under par 64 ...
