Shane Lowry was full of praise for the R & A following the recent Open Championship spectator news despite his own  huge disappointment of his four-round showing in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. After the high of a month ago when he superbly shared fourth place at the PGA Championship, Lowry turned his back on the brutal South Course with scores of 74, 72, 74 and a shock closing eight-over par 79 for a 13-over par tally. His disappointment was mirrored in three-putting the 72nd green for a ...

The news could not have been brighter for the R & A with confirmation 32,000 spectators a day will be allowed to attend the 149th Open Championship at Royal St. George’s. Of course, last year’s hosting of golf’s oldest major was cancelled due the worldwide pandemic while news of the rescheduling to this year has been draped in uncertainty. We were informed earlier this year The Open would be going ahead from 15th to 18th July, 2021 but what we didn’t know if spectators ...

What a coincidence that Richard Bland should tee-up in just a second US Open ranked 115th in the world. A month ago, Phil Mickelson captured a sixth major championship at age 50 and 11 months, and being handed the gleaming Rodman Wanamaker trophy, Mickelson was ranked 115th in the world. A week later, there was not a dry eye at The Belfry or among the millions watching on TV when Bland ended a 478th winless drought in capturing a maiden European Tour title with his British Masters ...

Phil Mickelson ended his opening round of the U.S. Open highly critical of overzealous and inconsiderate mobile phone users at Torrey Pines. The six-time major winning Mickelson posted a disappointing four-over par 75 in yet another quest to win the one major, the now 51-year-old so desperately seeks. Though Mickelson’s first round, and those of many other competitors, was not helped by fans clearly distracting players in taking photographs and video clips and as diplomatic as Mickelson strives ...

If Rory McIlroy as Chairman of the PGA Tour Players Advisory Council gets his way, and it seems he may have, then greens books and the practice of arm-lock putting will be ‘outlawed’ on golf’s biggest tour. It was reported last week, the 16-PGA Tour player council that McIlroy heads voted two weeks ago to ban the books, which detail slopes and contours on putting surfaces. All it needs now is for the full PGA Tour board to rubber stamp the decision, and that could be with the move to come into ...
