Fellow Open Champions, Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry lead the Irish chorus singing the praise of now 82-time PGA Tour winning, Tiger Woods. Woods, 43 won by three shots in capturing the rain-affected ZoZo Championship in Japan and in the process equalled the record set back in 1965 by ‘Slamming’ Sam Snead. McIlroy bounced back again from a diappointing one-over par opening score to finish a superb third in his first event of the new PGA Tour season. And knowing Woods as well as he does, McIlroy ...

…….. Accordia Golf Narashino CC,  Chiba Shane Lowry was headed to Shanghai declaring his closing two ZoZo Championship rounds in Japan to be the best he’s struck the ball since capturing The Open. Lowry posted scores of 67 and 65 to hold the final-round clubhouse lead when darkness halted play in the final round late on Sunday (Japan time) in the badly weather-affected event. The Royal Portrush hero posted an eight-under par tally that should see Lowry finish just outside the top-10 ...

…….. Accordia Golf Narashino CC,  Chiba Tiger Woods is now just seven holes away from sensationally equalling Sam Snead’s record of 82 PGA Tour victories.
