Palm Beach Gardens, FL … “I hope you guys like the champagne! was Rickie Fowler’s first remarks in entering the interview room at PGA National as the 2017 Honda Classic champion. Fowler had done exactly the same in providing a dozen bottles of bubbly back in January 2016 after capturing the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship on the European Tour. As such, it has been a long time between victory toasts for one of the more-popular players on the PGA Tour. Of course, Fowler celebrated last ...

Palm Beach Gardens, FL … Tyrrell Hatton was left ‘gutted’ after missing birdie putts at both his 17th and 18th holes that saw him slip from securing PGA Tour ‘Temporary Membership’ status in sharing fourth place in the Honda Classic. Hatton, who went into the last day in second place, eventually posted a final round two over par 72 for a seven under par total. American Rickie Fowler collected his fourth PGA Tour title, and a very first at five attempts when leading going in ...

Palm Beach Gardens, FL … Rory McIlroy will get a strong idea of his game at sea level later today (MON) before travelling more than two kilometres high to Mexico City and Thursday’s official return to competition. McIlroy and his father, Gerry are grouped together for the annual Seminole GC ‘Pro-v-Members’ day at the ultra-exclusive club laid out right on the Atlantic Ocean and not far from McIlroy’s Palm Beach Gardens abode. The current World No. 3 will join the likes of World No. ...

Palm Beach Gardens, FL … After being overtaken in driving off the tee at the Honda Classic Matt Fitzpatrick is looking forward to being a lot more competitive at altitude at this week’s inaugural WGC – Mexico Championship at Mexico City. Fitzpatrick ended his final round at PGA National nearly 90 minutes before good friend Tyrrell Hatton was out in the last pairing with Rickie Fowler, and with Hatton trailing four shots behind last year’s victorious Ryder Cup star. The 22-year old was ...

Palm Beach Gardens, FL … After feeling very deflated at sea level in Florida Russell Knox heads to this week’s inaugural WGC – Mexico Championship inflated to compete a mile-and-a-half in Mexico City. Literally, minutes before being formally confirmed as ‘Scottish Golfer of the Year’ at a black-tie dinner at the Corn Exchange in Edinburgh, Knox was very downbeat in being bundled out of the Honda Classic with scores of 73 and 72. It was the first occasion in since finishing joint ...

Palm Beach Gardens, FL … Rory McIlroy found himself caught up in a totally unnecessary controversy over his decision to accept an invitation to play golf last Sunday with US President Donald Trump. The World No. 3 found himself, in what is an unprecedented action in his career, defending the decision to play with President Trump. McIlroy, and in the most strong of words, declared on his Twitter account that his choice “wasn’t an endorsement nor a political statement of any kind.” As ...

Palm Beach Gardens, FL … No sooner had Russell Knox been named ‘2016 Scottish Golfer of the Year’ and the nation’s top-ranked pro was downbeat in missing the cut in the Honda Classic in Florida. Knox posted rounds of 73 and 72 for a five over par tally and falling short of playing all four rounds and in an event he was runner-up in 2014 and third a year later. The Scot never recovered after dropping four shots in his opening six holes including putting his tee shot into the drink 14-yards ...
