Matt Kuchar is out to create a golfing history and become the first to win the Shell Houston Open and Masters double.

Kuchar, 38 capped his round with three birdies in succession from the 12th hole while Garcia, who went into the round leading by one shot, struggled in posting back-to-back bogeys ...

Double Major winning Rory McIlroy has gone onto Facebook to reveal his clothing for the four days of next week’s Masters. And if all goes to plan the 24-year old Northern Irishman makes the halfway cut in the year’s first Major the color he’ll wear for Sunday’s final round – green.

Sergio Garcia declared he’s in the best frame of mind heading to a Major in some six years as evident in storming four shots clear of the field midway through round two of the Shell Houston Open.

However he then had his lead cut to just one with American Matt Kuchar, who had also been in contention in last week’s Valero Texas Open, shooting a 67 ...

While being credited by the European Tour in the news the Irish Open will be staged in 2015 at Royal County Down and in 2017 at Loch Erne, Rory McIlroy now intends to continue to use his influence to meet with the Tour to secure a more favourable date for future Irish Open’s.
