Orlando, FL … Graeme McDowell walked from the final Bay Hill green joking that he needed to looked for a padded cell after four tougher-than-normal days at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. McDowell had been just three shots from the first day lead in posting an opening 68 but the conditions toughened appreciably for the remaining three rounds to make a virtual mockery of the game’s best. G Mac posted a second round 74 to easily make the cut but ended with a weekend pair of 76s. And McDowell ...

Orlando, FL ….  England’s Tyrrell Hatton has left embattled US TV analyst Paul Azinger chocking on his words after holding his nerve to capture the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill in Florida. Hatton, 28 and still struggling with a post Mexico City stomach bug, posted a final day 74 to capture a maiden PGA Tour victory by a shot with a four-under par tally and winning a week after Azinger belittled the careers of both Lee Westwood and Tommy Fleetwood as not being good enough  ...

Orlando, FL …. World No. 1 Rory McIlroys heads north to this week’s defence of his Players Championship title posting yet another top-five finish of the year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Flordia. McIlroy went into the last day two shots off the lead but any thoughts of a first victory of 2020  turned pear-shaped under the weight of a pair of double-bogeys in a closing round of a four-over par 76. England’s Tyrrell Hatton made embattled NBC TV analyst Paul Azinger eat his words ...

Scot David Drysdale has been horribly denied ending a near-500 winless drought losing out for the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters crown at the fifth extra play-off hole in Doha. Drysdale can really feel short-changed with Spaniard Jorge Campillo holing four monster putts at the 18th, a first in regulation to force the play-off and then three of five times on the same green in the play-off. The Borders golfer teed-up in the Qatar capital in his 498th Tour event since making his debut at the 1999 Scottish ...

Orlando, FL … Marc Leishman finds himself heading into the final round of the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational in a near repeat of the scenario four years ago at the Bay Hill Country Club course in suburban Orlando. Leishman braved the bitterly cold conditions, the lush rough and then the rock-hard greens in posting a level par 74 to remain at four-under par and now sharing second place with World N0. 1 Rory McIlroy (73) and with the duo trailing two shots adrift of England’s Tyrrell Hatton. Hatton, ...

Orlando, FL … England’s Tyrrell Hatton reveals he is still fighting off a post WGC – Mexico Championship upset stomach in taking a two-shot lead into the final round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando. Hatton produced one of the loudest roars on a bitterly cold third day in holing a superb 31-footer for birdie at the final green in a round 73 and lead by two shots at six-under par. The double Alfred Dunhill Links champion went into day three tied for the lead on seven-under ...

Orlando, FL …. If the World No. 1 ranked player Rory McIlroy reckons the third round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational was more akin to a U.S. Open then it must have been tough. Yes, tough enough that not one of the 69 players who made the halfway cut managed to break 70 on the Bay Hill course. Indeed, current World No. 3 Brooks Koepka and a four-time Major winneer, produced the highest score of his PGA Tour career of a nine-over par 81 to drop 24 spots and into a distant share of 64th place. England’s ...
