Charlotee, NC … Witnessing Justin Thomas being embraced yesterday by his father, Mike on the final green at Quail Hollow rekindled memories of Fathers Day 2010 when new U.S. Open champion, Graeme and his very proud father, Kenny came together in equally emotional scenes on the final green at Pebble Beach. Golf’s newest Major winner could not have chosen a more appropriate victory breakthrough than capturing the PGA Championship. Among the first to greet the already teary-eyed American was ...

Quail Hollow, NC … Uncertainty reigns after Rory McIlroy ended an indifferent PGA Championship and a third season Major-less and not knowing if he will be out of competition for two weeks, two months or until early in the New Year. McIlroy did produce his lowest round in four days, a two-under par 68 for a then Quail Hollow clubhouse share of 23rd place at one-over par. Though the effort on a toughened course was in stark contrast to the last time McIlroy walked off the suburban Charlotte ...

Quail Hollow, NC … Shane Lowry did well to keep his emotions in check after the bitter disappointment of posting a triple bogey ‘6’ just two holes from the finish on day two of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. The Irishman had earlier brilliantly muscled his way to a share of seventh place of five birdies when the treat of an electrical storm halted play just prior to 5pm local time. At the time, Lowry had jumped 55 places to be lying at two under par. Then after playing his tee shot ...

Quail Hollow, NC… Padraig Harrington, and teeing up on the ninth anniversary of his Oakland Hills triumph, has written off his chances after signing for a first roud eight over par 79. It is Harrington’s highest score in 57 rounds of an event he captured in 2oo8 and well outside the top-100 heading into his second round. The Dubliner had began with five straight pars before being sat on his backside in posting three doubles in succession starting at the par 15th that he was playing as his ...

Quail Hollow, NC… Shane Lowry will be looking to make ammends for a first round final hole bogey heading into the second day of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow in Charlotte. The Irishman was two over playing the last but headed to the clubhouse bitterly disappointed to let one slip on the final green in a round of a three-over par 74. Lowry had been awake since 4.3am local time in readiness for teeing off in the first group, and on the occasion of his sixth PGA. But starting bogey, birdie, ...

Quail Hollow, NC … Russell Knox had the Quail Hollow red carpet pulled out from him on day one of the PGA Championship in suburban Charlotte. Knox raced to the top of the leader board in starting with back-to-back birdies on route to what was s shock six over par 77. Knox, who had awoke at 4am, was out in the first group off the 10th tee and he and new caddy, Montana–born    Kevin Fasbender could not have asked for a better start to their relationship when Knox landed his third shot into ...

Charlotte, NC …. Padraig Harrington has hardly been a fan of contesting the BMW PGA Championship in May  but he loves the thought of returning to the leafy Surrey course in September. Naturally, there was no one more happier when it was confirmed Tuesday that as a result of the Players Championship was moving from May to March and the PGA Championship was moving from August to May than Harrington. “The news is awesome for me as I play well in  September at Wentworth“, he said ...
