Henrik Stenson turned 50 on the fifth day of April and his inaugural seniors event cannot get any better than teeing-up in the April 16th Seniors PGA Championship in Florida. Stenson was born in Gothenberg.  He got introduced to golf at age 12.   He capped his amateur career winning the 1996 Italian Amateur title. Two years later he turned pro and then after three years in the play-for-pay ranks Stenson earned the first of what would be 22 pro career victories capped by a memorable final 18 holes ...

There’s the ole story of the No. 272 bus … you wait ages for the bus to arrive and then when it does, two arrive at the same time. Rory McIlroy waited all of 17-years for a maiden Masters title and despite an indifferent Augusta third round 73, who’s to say the Northern Irishman still can’t be aboard for an historic repeat victory journey a year on. McIlroy teed off in the third round carrying an six-shot lead after blistering rounds of 67 and 65. He looked untouchable. Though ...

In only his fifth Augusta National appearance, and also a year after missing the halfway cut and Cameron Young is 18 holes shy of being crowned the 202​6 Masters champion. Young superbly emerged from an indifferent opening round of 73 to produce scores of 67 and 65 to head to the clubhouse leading the 90th hosting of the Masters at 11-under. At day’s end, the New York born Young found himself tied at 11-under with defending champion Rory McIlroy. McIlroy had taken a Masters record-setting ...

​World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler produced an impressive ​’Moving Day’ display, posting a bogey-free seven-under 65 to remind all that the double Masters champion is still very much in frame for a third green jacket at Augusta National. Scheffler headed to the scorer’s hut with the clubhouse lead as 36-hole leader Rory McIlroy was nearing the turn in his own third round leading by three at 12-under. Scheffler earned himself a second set of Masters crystal goblets this week thanks ...

Ireland’s Shane Lowry was celebrating for a second tournament in succession having aced the par-3 6th hole on ‘Moving Day’ at the Masters. Lowry’s tee shot was straight at the flag. One big bounce. Two little skips. Then a serene roll straight into the cup! Lowry spins round, punches the air, and hugs his playing partner and pal Tommy Fleetwood as the gallery goes wild! BRILLIANT ACE FOR LOWRY @ShaneLowryGolf … Shane’s second ace in a fortnight after his ACE ...

Justin Rose has been runner-up three times at the Masters including, as we all know, a year ago in losing a play-off to Rory McIlroy. Now in already a likely repeat to a year ago, the names McIlroy and Rose appear atop of the leaderboard late on the second day of this year’s 90th hosting of The Masters. Rose grabbed five birdies in a three-under 69 for the then clubhouse lead at five-under, and doing so as McIlroy was on his way to birdieing three holes in succession from the second to fourth ...

Top-ranked Robert MacIntyre has been reprimanaded by Augusta National officials over his highly offensive ‘middle finger salute’ and other issues during a shock opening round of an eight-over par 80 at the Masters. MacIntyre’s emotions were on the boil earlier in his round but they reached boiling point at the 15th hole, when he twice found the water & cameras catching the Oban lefty showing his disgust ahead of posting a quadruple-bogey 9.
