Four-time Tour winning Patrick Reed believes it is a ‘cut throat’ approach to golf that separates golf’s newer generation of ’Twenty-aged something’ players from their older colleagues. The 25-year old Texas-born Reed is among six players, headed by World No. 1 Rory McIlroy and last week’s Players Champion Rickie Fowler, aged in their mid-20s and who currently dominate world golf. Of course, fellow Texan and Masters Champion Jordan Spieth is the youngest and with the World No. ...

New Players champion Rickie Fowler could not be more excited returning as a winner to Royal Country Down and this month’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. It was eight years ago Fowler was last in Northern Ireland as a member of the 2007 USA victorious Walker Cup side. Now after out-lasting four extra play-off holes to capture the lucrative Players Championship, Fowler’s added to the aura of this year’s Irish Open as a 2015 PGA Tour winner and a week after World No. 1 Rory McIlroy captured a second ...

American golfing heart-throb Rickie Fowler took a huge step towards a first Major Championship success with his play-off victory in the Players Championship. Fowler denied TPC Sawgrass rookie and fellow American Kevin Kisner holing a five-foot birdie at the fourth extra hole, the par three 17th, and his third birdie of the day at the famed island green. Indeed, Fowler was 10-under par for the last eight holes having played the closing six during regulation in six under par and then birding the 17th ...

Big-hitting Dustin Johnson has ruled out returning to Royal County to contest the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open later this month. Johnson, a member of the 2007 USA winning Walker Cup team, indicated he has committed to contesting the Colonial being staged in the same week at Forth Worth, Texas. “I was thinking really hard of heading back to Royal County Down but given I missed a lot of the season  at the start of the year, I need to think about my schedule and that means playing the Colonial,” ...

World No. 1 Rory McIlroy left the Players Championship frustrated once again in finishing among the top-10 for a third year running on the TPC Sawgrass course. Dressed in a pink shirt as a tribute to U.S. Mother’s Day, McIlroy got into red birdie figures on just three occasions in the sweltering conditions with birdies at two and then back-to-back birdies in a round of a two under par 70 for an eight-under par tally. On a positive note McIlroy was eight under on the par fives but then he was one ...

Tiger Woods confessed he ‘was a couple of pounds lighter’ despite the burden of a mediocre four rounds at the 2015 Players Championship. The double Players champion posted a level par 72 to complete 16th TPC Sawgrass appearance in three over par and a then clubhouse share of 69th. It is Woods poorest Players result after having won the event in 2013 when he last teed-up in the prestigious PGA Tour event. Woods commenced his round at three under par and remained at three under through ...

Russell Knox is struggling not only with the pressure of a ‘home game’ but a far from user-friendly putter through three rounds of the Players Championship. Knox and his wife Andrea live at just five minutes from the TPC Sawgrass course at Jacksonville Beach and it’s meant a big following of friends and supporters have been out each day with the Scot. But despite superb birdies on two of his three closing holes in a round of 72 to remain at two-under par Knox walked from the course frustrated ...
