Jordan Spieth laid waste to the Phoenix Open with a sizzling career low 61 and storm his way to a share of the lead on day three of the Phonenix Open. Spieth, and looking for a first victory since the 2017 Open Championship, was at his best in not dropping a shot on the TPC Scottsdale layout. And the 27-year old Spieth did it in style with 10 brilliant birdies, including three in succession from the 15th hole, in a 10-under par 61 and head the field by a stroke at 18-under par. Spieth was then joined ...

It means Harrington could tee-up on Thursday 2nd September but there is no Champions Tour nor Legends Tour event that ...

Scot Calum Hill finds himself well in contention for a first Tour victory thanks to a bizarre set of player withdrawal and caddying circumstances at this week’s weather-affected Saudi International. Hill, 26, had just played four holes of his second round early on day two when heavy showers resulted in a two-hour delay to play and with the Crook of Devon golfer eventually adding a two-under 70 to his opening 65. Kiwi Ryan Fox is the clubhouse leader with a pair of 65s while Scot Stephen Gallacher ...

Rory McIlroy found himself facing a rules scenario for a second week but with no hint of infraction whatsoever on the opening day of the Waste Management Phoenix Open. McIlroy rebounded superbly from a horror start when he was three-over after just two holes to eventually sign for a one-under par 70 on the TPC Scottsdale course.
