Padraig Harrington will continue to play through the pain barrier but also needing to make the halfway cut in this week’s starting Barclays Championship in New Jersey. Harrington remained in the States this past week with his family and splitting his time between relaxing in Orlando and visiting New York. He tee’s up in the first of four FedEx Cup Play Off Series events lying 87th among the top-125 on the money list and needing to be among the top-100 at the close of the event this week being ...

Russell Knox will draw on this week’s Barclays Championship ‘Scottish Connection’ to improve his eventual standing in the FedEx Cup Play-Off Series. Knox will tee-up in the first of the four Play-Off events lying 44th on the money list and certainly assured of playing the opening trio. The Scot’s big goal is to be inside the top-30 at the close of the BMW Championship on September 20th to be assured of teeing-up for a first time in the season-closing Tour Championship on September 24th in ...

Newly-crowned PGA Champion Jason Day insists it would the ‘icing on the cake’ should he capture the FedEX Cup and then unseat World No. 1 Jordan Spieth in the votiing as PGA Tour ‘Player of the Year’. Day is returning to competition at this week’s Barclays Championship in Edison, New Jersey after his historic three stroke success over Spieth at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. The 27-year old Australian intends contesting all four FedEx Cup Play-Off Series events and is hopeful, despite ...

It was an inauspicious return to competition for newly-crowned PGA Championship winner Jason Day when forced to push a broken down golf cart. Day had just spent a couple of hours on the Plainfield Country Club practice range in Edison, New Jersey and venue for this week’s Barclays Championship when he boarded an eight-seater motorised cart back to the clubhouse. However broken down around 50 yards short of its destination and with Day and other in the cart happily obliging the driver by pushing ...

Jason Day now has one fan for life. The newly-crowned PGA Champion surprised one youngster on his return to competition since capturing last fortnight’s Major. Day was on the Planfield Country Club driving range, and venue for this week’s Barclays Championship, and was being asked by adoring new fans if he would sign autographs. The Australian indicated to the youngsters he would do so in a short while and when he did Day walked over carrying a 52-degree Cleveland wedge in his hand. He ...

Tiger Woods is to be congratulated in the manner he conducted himself during his first appearance in the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. From the moment he arrived on Tuesday afternoon to play a practice round with eventual three-time champion, Davis Love 111 to he birdied the final hole in what was a disappointing last day level par 70, Woods could not have been more engaging. He signed autographs and had his picture taken throughout much of Wednesday’s Pro-Am and the ...

An 11th hole triple-bogey sadly brought down the curtain on his PGA Tour season at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina. A sell-out crowd, and plenty dressed in Woods’ traditional red ‘power’ last day colour, failed to ignite Woods towards the victory or lone second place he needed to qualify for this week’s FedEx Cup Play-Off Series in New Jersey. Woods did birdie four of his closing six holes to eventually walked off with a level par round of 70 for a share of 11th place ...
