Quail Hollow, NC .. Adam Scott jets back into Australia Tuesday morning in time for the birth of his second child later this week. It was a disappointed World No.17 and ending his 17-year in the professional ranks with a closing round of 71 for a shock eight-over par PGA Championship tally at Quail Hollow. Scott ended what was also his 17th PGA Championship and the last Major of 2017 just outside the top-60 and with his poorest finish in the 13 times he has contested all four rounds. His final ...

Charlotte, NC … Four-time Major winning Rory McIlroy hinted he will embark on an extended end-of-season break to allow a nagging rib injury to properly heal. McIlroy suggested the course of action after a third round 73 for a four-over par tally at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow. The World No. 4 heads to the final day not only well out of contention but staring a third year in succession without a Major Championship trophy. All McIlroy could wish for ahead of the final day was a first ...

Quail Hollow, NC  .. Rory McIlroy will get his Quail Hollow wish and will head to next April’s Masters and the chance to upstage Jordan Spieth in winning the Grand Slam. In contrast, Spieth is staring at a 12-month wait till Bellerive in suburban St. Louis to join golf’s most exclusive club after a dismal PGA Championship showing. Spieth arrived in suburban Charlotte seeking to get the Grand Slam jump on both McIlroy and Phil Mickelson but the Texan has hardly managed to get out of second gear ...

Quail Hollow, NC … Hideki Matsuyama and Francesco Molinari share a common thread at this week’s 99th PGA Championship. It is not the fact they each recorded a new course record 64 on day two of the event at Quail Hollow. Also it has nothing to do with the fact they have each captured a WGC – HSBC Championship or that they each won their own national Open. No, for Matsuyama and Molinari the weight of their own nation rests on their shoulders now over the weekend as the 25-year old ...

Quail Hollow, NC … History again beckons for Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama. With two rounds to play in the 99th PGA the World No. 3 is on the verge of becoming the first Japanese golfer to win at the game’s highest level. Matsuyama birdied five of his closing six holes, including four in succession from the 12th, in a new course record 64 and in the process setting the new low shot of a 66 set earlier in the day by Kiwi Ryan Fox. And on route to moving into a share of the lead at eight-under ...

Quail Hollow, NC … Storming Shane Lowry was on the verge of breaking into the top-5 when a late afternoon electrical downpour halted play on day two of the PGA Championship. Lowry had muscled his way to a share of seventh place at two under par and with just three holes to complete when players were called from the Quail Hollow course. The Clara golfer had jumped 55 places thanks to an impressive bogey-free effort. Lowry had just one birdie over his outward nine in holing a 26-foot gem at ...

V Krishnaswamy, Charlotte, NC The way Kevin Kisner has dissected the Quail Hollow Club, he could well have been a surgeon and not a golfer. On a course, long-hitting Brooks Koepka dubbed as a ‘Bomber’s Paradise’ on the eve of the 99th PGA Championships, it is Kisner ranked 127th on driving distance, who is leading the field. And when he finished his second round with a second straight 67, he was a handy four shots clear of the field. Mind you he is 15th in accuracy of the tee, and that often ...
