Russell Knox ‘Roos’ Indifferent East Lake Driving & Short Iron Display.
East Lake, Atlanta, GA … Lone Scot Russell Knox was naturally disappointed after an indifferent driving and short-iron display on the opening day of the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake here in suburban Atlanta.
Knox, with the Twitter account @rooknox , was left shaking his head in some disbelief after a three over 73 that included three birdies, four bogeys and a seventh hole double bogey on the par 70 layout.
It left the Scot trailing seven shots behind the leading trio that ...
Rory Reckons NFL Scenario Of USA Ryder Cup Final Wildcard Pick A Lot Of ‘Rigmarole’.
Rory McIlroy reckons it’s a load of ‘rigmarole’ the process rival USA Captain Davis Love 111 is going through on Sunday night to name his final Hazeltine pick.
Love 111 is set to deliver his pick at half-time in Sunday night’s NFL third-round clash between the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears, and only given TV host NBC also will host the Ryder Cup.
It means the announcement of the last 2016 US Ryder Cup team member will not be known to around 10pm East US time or 3am Monday morning ...
McIlroy Says Poulter Will Get Better Use Of ‘Medinah’ Squad Car.
East Lake, Atlanta, GA … Rory McIlroy was clearly surprised to learn European vice-captain, Ian Poulter has purchased the ex-Chicago local police vehicle that helped get McIlroy to Medihah with minutes to spare ahead of his 2012 Ryder Cup Singles match.
The unmarked squad car, a 2005 Ford Crown Victoria, was first auctioned off via E-Bay after reaching it’s ‘retirement’ mileage but somehow has now found its way into the hands of the car-collecting Poulter for an undisclosed ...
Russell Knox Staying True To Being A Scot …. “I’d Save The FedEx Cup $10m Bonus”.
East Lake, Atlanta. GA … Russell Knox joked he would ‘save’ the $10m (£7.7m) bonus prize if he won this week’s PGA Tour season-ending FedEx Cup in Atlanta.
Knox is only the second Scot after compatriot Martin Laird in 2010 to tee-up in the Tour’s 30-player only finale on the East Lake course.
But unlike Laird who finished well down in 95th that season and before changes to the qualifying process, Knox mathematically does have the chance to lift the FedEx Cup.
However, it would mean ...
McIlroy Delighted To Let ‘DJ’ Absorb Early Rounds Eastlake Heat.
East Lake, Atlanta. GA … Rory McIlroy says he will be delighted to let FedEx Cup front-runner Dustin Johnson absorb much of the heat over the opening rounds of the Tour Championship season-ending showdown in Atlanta.
For a first time in many years, the fate of the FedEx Cup is out of his hands with McIlroy No. 6 on the money ranking.
Johnson leads into the 2015/16 curtain closing event and with the next four – Patrick Reed (2), Adam Scott (3), Jason Day (4) and Paul Casey (5) – each being ...
Balmaseda Soaring High Eagling Last To Capture MENA Golf Citizen Classic In Dubai.
Carlos Balmaseda was soaring high after he eagled the third extra hole to win the Golf Citizen Classic for his maiden victory on the MENA Golf Tour at the Els Club Dubai on Wednesday.
The 44-year- old Spaniard produced a spectacular approach to hit the green in two at the par-5, 18th and holed the ensuing 18-foot putt, beating England’s Luke Joy, who had eagled the same hole in regulation to force a playoff at six-under.
Both players birdied the first two extra holes to extend play, but the ...
Tim Finchem … “Rory’s Got Huge Credibility But He’s No Tiger Woods”.
East Lake, Atlanta, GA … Tim Finchem earlier today addressed the media for one of the last times as PGA Tour Commissioner ahead of this week’s Tour Championship.
I asked him what impact Tiger Woods had made to the Tour parallel with Finchem’s own time at the helm of the world’s largest golf Tour.
Finchem believed the 14-time Major winning Woods had played a huge role in transforming the image of golf and similar to the effect Michael Jordan had in the NBA basketball.
“He’s ...
