Former European Ryder Cup captain, Darren Clarke is now probably the last to confirm what the golf world seems to know already and that is the 2020 Ryder Cup will be postponed to 2021. The PGA of America and European Tour are expected this week to confirm this move rather than go ahead with a ‘no spectator’ encounter in September. And Clarke, who was at the helm of a Europe defeat four years ago at Hazeltine, believes it’s a ‘good decision’ to put the world’s now ...

Bryson DeChambeau’s revealed one of the keys to bulking-up during the three-month PGA Tour lockdown. The new World No. 10 added 40 pounDs over the 91-day enforced lay-out and thanks to a breakfast of four eggs, five pieces of bacon, toast and two organic protein shakes. DeChambeau’s looking more like Hulk Hogan in returning to competition and the extra beef has everyone talking. Also, the 26-year old has everyone impressed by his added distance off the tee to be now in second place on ...

Former World No. 1 Dustin Johnson celebrated his 36th birthday with a 21st Tour success thanks to a 19-under par victory total at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut. Johnson headed into the final round sharing second place at 16-under par and two from the lead on the TPC River Highlands course. Overnight third round leader, Brendon Todd stalled with nine outward pars and opening the door for Johnson to capitalise with three outward birdies, including birdies at eight and nine, and ...

World No. 1 Rory McIlroy confessed he made too many ‘dumb’ mistakes in yet another agonising and frustrating finish at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. McIlroy’s final round 67 had all the positives you’d want on a last day including draining a monster eagle putt, brilliantly chipping-in twice for birdie and also holing-out for birdie from a 16th hole greenside bunker. There was also a booming 341-yard drive but as he and caddy, Harry Diamond relaxed on their private jet ...

Phil Mickelson saw his quest to become just the eighth over-50-year-old to win on the PGA Tour literally derailed on day three of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut. Mickelson, who turned 50 on June 16th, went into day three one clear of the field but struggled managing just two birdies in a one-over par 71 to drop back into a share of seventh place at 12-under par. And ‘Lefty’s’ despair in also striving to capture a third Travelers title and a 45th PGA Tour trophy was mirrored ...

Phil Mickelson is just two rounds shy of becoming just the eighth player over the age of 50 to win on the PGA Tour. Mickelson turned 50 on June 16th and now 10 days later has placed himself in contention to win what also would be a 45th PGA Tour title And Mickelson also set about collecting a third Travelers title with ‘Lefty’ brilliantly grabbing the late clubhouse lead with a sizzling 63 for a 13-under par tally and one clear of 24-year old compatriot Will Gordon (62). Last 3 holes ...

Bryson DeChambeau has been the centre of attention since returning to competiton at last fortnight’s Tour stop in Texas. The 26-year old American had bulked-up big time adding 40 pounds and in the process bounding from 34th in ‘Driving Distance’ at the end of last year to now be ranked first with an average distance off the tee of 328.5  yards though the young American has been longer than that. But little did anyone expect the golfer looking more like Hulk Hogan to produce a drive ...
