Tiger Woods displayed the form that has won him four Masters titles in holing a remarkable par putt at the ninth hole during his first official practice round at Augusta National. Woods hit an 8-iron second shot that went a few feet through the green but some 60-feet from the flagstick. His birdie attempt just missed the hole but rolled 40-feet past the flag from where Woods holed the par putt. Then was then an emotional moment when Woods and his practice round partner Mark O’Meara embraced ...

Twice before in his relatively short professional career Jason Day has gone close to winning the Masters. The first was in finishing fourth and tied with Adam Scott behind South African Charl Schwartzel in 2011 while the second was more recently in 2013 when he lead the Masters with just a handful of hole to play at Augusta National. However bogeys at 16 and 17 saw Day relegated to third place and just one shot out of the play-off won by fellow Queensland-born Scott. Now after a 2014 Masters when ...

American Patrick Reed brought the crowd to their feet when he holed out for an ace at the par three, 16th. But then in one of the most bizarre moments this year on the PGA Tour Reed then lost a sprint race across a wooden bridge leading to the green at the 16th. Check out the ace on video and then the amazing race against his caddy.

England’s Paul Casey continued his push towards only a second PGA Tour victory with a fighting four under par 68 to move to 11-under par on day three of the Shell Houston Open. Casey capped his third round with three birdies in succession from the sixth hole and posting birdies either side at four and the 10th holes on the Golf Club of Houston course He then recorded pars at the next seven holes before his only bogey at the 17th. “I played good all day and it was just a couple of loose ...

It’s not surprising Phil Mickelson is in contention and in the week before the Masters and the year’s first Major. Mickelson added a round of 67 to his opening 66 to move to 11-under par after two rounds of the Shell Houston Open. It gave the five-time Major winner the lead before fellow American Andrew Putnam shot a round of 65 to seize a one stroke advantage and a third American in Austin Cook, who was a Monday qualifier for the $US 6.6m event also shooting a 65 to join Mickelson in ...
