Crenshaw, who captured the 1984 and 1995 Masters, indicated he spoke with his long-time caddy, Carl during the course of this week’s Major of his decision. “I said to Carl I have been thinking about this for some time and I think next year would be a good year,” said Crenshaw. “I have thought about this decision for a very long time ...

Stephen Gallacher’s emotions remain on an even keel despite the overwhelming excitement among his family and friends in easily making the halfway cut in his maiden Masters appearance. Gallacher continued to amaze in his ability to deal with everything Augusta National has served-up after two rounds of the year’s first Major in adding a rock-solid level par 72 to his opening 71. It left the 40-year old Scot heading to the stately Georgian clubhouse at one under par and in a then share of 11th ...

Graeme McDowell was left wondering if he will ever get the better of Augusta after missing the cut with scores of 72 and 78 for a six over par tally. It is the firth occasion in seven Augusta appearances the current World No. 14 has missed the cut. McDowell’s second day was a sour mix of a first hole double bogey, four other bogeys, an 11th hole double and just a pair of birdies. “You put everything into the first Major Championship but after doubling the first I walked off there feeling ...

A frustrated Rory McIlroy became the very last player to make the cut in the 2104 Masters holing a testy five foot par putt in a shock round of 77 for a four over par tally. It is McIlroy’s third score of 77 in 20 rounds of Augusta National that also rekindled memories of his disastrous 2011 final round Augusta meltdown of 80. The double Major winner’s round got off to a decent start, and despite a second hole bogey, he birdied the uphill par four, 4th hole for a second day running but it then ...

Sweden’s Jonas Blixt is again showing the ‘spunk’ that European Ryder Cup captain, Paul McGinley liked when meeting the Swede for a first time at last year’s PGA Championship. Blixt is this week competing in just his second Major Championship and a first Masters.
