Gooch Has Aussie Caddy To Thank For Third Lowest Tour Score In ‘Down Under’ History
Amercian Talor Gooch singled out his Australian-born caddy for praise after producing a sizzling 10-under par 62 in ideal scoring conditons on the opening day of the LIV Golf Adelaide event in Adelaide, South Australia.

His effort, while a career low, is a third lowest in the history of tournament ...
Fitzpatrick Slams PGA Tour Tortoises As A ‘Disgrace’ & ‘Appalling’.
Reigning US Open and RBC Heritage champion Matt Fitzpatrick has slammed PGA Tour tortoses, such as Patrick Cantlay who he played alongside last Sunday at Hilton Head, as a ‘disgrace’ and also ‘appalling’.
Fitzpatrick, 27, captured his first ‘regular’ PGA Tour title in birdieing the third extra hole to defeat defending champion Jordan Spieth on the host Harbor Touwn course in South Carolina.
However, for a second week running a golf tournament was overshadowed by ...
Mickelson Feeling On Top Of The World Already From The Support ‘Down Under’
Phil Mickelson’s feeling on the top of the world from the support he’s already receiving ‘down under’ in Adelaide.
Mickelson arrived Monday into Australia’s fourth largest city, and a first visit to Australia in a dozen years since he was a member of the victorious Fred Couples captained 2011 USA Presidents Cup team at Royal Melbourne.
Two others in that team, Dustin Johnson and Bubba Watson, will join Mickelson teeing-up Friday on The Grange course.
Of course, the 52-year-old Mickelson ...
Does Donald’s Rome Wildcard Picks Change With Europeans Dominating PGA Tour Wins?
I have a Ryder Cup theme question following Matt Fitzpatrick’s brilliant triumph at the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head in South Carolina.
Fitzpatrick denied defending champ Jordan Spieth with a birdie at the third extra hole on the host Sea Pines course, banking the cool $3.6m first prize cheque, and $360,000 more than Jon Rahm won a week earlier in capturing the 87th hosting of the Masters.
With Rahm winning an Augusta green jacket and ‘Fitz’ being fitted with traditional plaid jacket ...

Olympic Gold medal winning Xander Schauffele has delivered embattled Rory McIlroy a few reminders on how to deal with not breasting the victory tape first.
McIlroy seems to be under fire from all sides at present, first for a decision to be ‘wired’ during the second round of last week’s Masters, ahead of crashing out at Augusta National.
Now he’s facing more post Masters brickbats heading in McIlroy’s direction when he chose not to enter this week’s ‘elevate’ RBC Heritage at ...

Masters Champ Rahm Targeting A Victory Jacket Double At RBC Heritage
Jon Rahm has one new jacket in his wardrobe and with the Masters champion now looking to add a second is an many weeks at this week’s RBC Heritage at Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
Rahm, 28, became the fourth Spaniard in winning at Augusta National, and on the occasion of boyhood hero Seve Ballesteros’ birthday.
And rather than take the week off celebrating, the World No. 1 has put the celebrations on hold for a week to make the short journey from Georgia to South Carolina to ...
