Shane Lowry proudly muscled his way into the closing two rounds of the Masters admitting he had been inspired playing in the company of his golfing idol – Tiger Woods. Lowry fought back superbly from an opening round 74 to grab five birdies in second round 69 for an eventual one-under par tally and two strokes inside the level par cut mark. It was the first time Lowry and Woods had been grouped together in a major while it also is now only the second occasion in five Masters appearances Lowry ...

In clearly a shock revelation, Bryson DeChambeau disclosed he went for a COVID test after feeling weird and a little dizzy. The reigning U.S. Open winner backed-up a first round 70 with an ultra-adventurous second round 74 to be assured in playing all four rounds at Augusta National. DeChambeau’s second round was a mix of seven birdies, six bogeys and a third hole triple-bogey where he bizarrely lost a ball in just the first cut. However he took everyone by surprise with a simple ‘how do ...

At age 63 years, 2 months and 17 days Langer moved past American Tommy Aaron and with the 1973 Masters champion being aged 63 years, 1 month, 16 days old when he made the cut in the 2000 Masters. Langer made his Masters debut in 1982 and then three years later became the first German-born player to win a major and then 11-years later he posted a final round 70 to remarkably ...

Rory McIlroy brushed off a likely Friday the 13th horror show to brilliantly muscle his way back into contention at the rain-affected Masters at Augusta National. McIlroy first played the closing nine holes of his delayed first round signing for a horror 75 only and then emerged from a 30-min lunch break to sign for a sizzling and bogey-free six-under par 66. It sent McIlroy climbing his way from two shots outside the projected Augusta cut to fight his way to a then clubhouse share of 27th place ...

  It is an understatement to say that Rory McIlroy now has his work cut-off to be assured of playing all four rounds of the 2020 Masters. Eighteen hours and 45 minutes after teeing-off just after 3am on Thursday and McIlroy walked off the 18th green just prior to 10am with a disappointing three over par 75. His score was a highest opening round in a dozen Masters appearances and a shot more than his first round 74 in 2010. It left McIlroy trailing 10 shots behind the lead trio of Paul Casey, ...
