Jordan Spieth is after revenge with a round to play after letting slip victory in last year’s 2014 Masters. Twelve months ago, Spieth went into the last day of his first Masters with a two shot lead but struggled to finish tied second with Sweden’s Jonas Blixt behind new double Augusta winning Bubba Watson. While a 17th hole double bogey showed the Texan is not totally without fear, a birdie by 2013 US Open champion Justin Rose at the 18th hole closed the gap to four strokes. Spieth ...

Next weekend’s Battle Trophy is shaping up as a battle royal with many of Scotland’s best young talent set to tackle Crail Golfing Society’s Craighead Links.

Jordan Spieth left the Masters victory door ajar to his rivals when he doubled the 17th hole on day three of the 79th Masters. The 21-year old Texas sensation opened-up a seven shot leading cushion at one stage on golf’s ‘moving day’ in moving to 18-under par through 16 holes. Spieth became only the second player in Masters history after four-time Masters winning Tiger Woods when he birdied the 16th. However it was his rivals were also making moves behind including former US Open ...

Lyle turned back the clock on day one of his 34th Masters with a decision to go with the hickory shaft club that seemed praiseworthy given he is the reigning World Hickory Champion. However after rounds of 74 and 76, and with Lyle’s second round a mix of just one birdie at the 13th along with three bogeys and a ninth hole double ...

Padraig Harrington joked he hopes tearaway Masters leader Jordan Spieth will have time to come up for air after the American’s Masters efforts. Harrington ended his round, and unfortunately missing the halfway cut with scores of 72 and 77 for a five over par tally. It left the triple Major winner lying just inside the top-70 but well outside the expected cut-off mark of two over par. Harrington had ended his round with Spieth having just birdied the par five 15th and move to 14-under par and ...

Lone Star State golfer Jordan Spieth was the brightest star atop of the leader board with a new Augusta National opening 36-hole low.   Spieth, 21 walked from the Georgia golfing gem breaking by one shot a 39-year old record set by Raymond Floyd on route to capturing the 1976 Masters.   And Spieth would have established an all-time Major Championship first 36-hole low had his eight-footer for birdie at the last dropped.   His 130 tally also matched the all-time opening 36 hole low in Major Championship ...

Maybe it was the streak of Augusta green in his attire but Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell managed to break 70 not only for a first time in six years on the opening day of the Masters but also for only the sixth time in 19 rounds of the Masters course. The former US Open winner shot a one under par 71 that included five birdies and just one less bogey. And while it was just one of a handful of rounds under par for McDowell his round since a round of 69 on day one of the 2008 Masters. In ...
