Though what took me to Segregansett was its connection with Francis Ouimet, the then 20-year-old amateur who remarkably captured the 1913 US Open by defeating two of the greats of the game. The Segregansett club is located some 45 miles south of Boston and close ...

Rose is competing for the first time on the Le National course since that memorial week six-years ago ...

Rory McIlroy ended a run of three of the DP World Tour’s biggest tournaments labelling them more authentic, pure, and not as corporate that he really liked. McIlroy had gone close to victory both in the BMW PGA Championship and also on home soil at the Irish Open before winding-up at his attempt at a maiden Dunhill Links Championship success with a disappointing no-frills share of 25th at the Dunhill Links Championship. However, this week in the Home of Golf nation was still a special time playing ...
