McIlroy Up For A Mexican Takeout Victory Challenge
Here’s a stat that might play into Rory McIlroy’s hand but only if he gets off to the final round start he desperately desires on day four of the WGC – Mexico Championship in Mexico City.
Six of the golfers this season who have led by two shots after 54-holes of a PGA Tour event did not win the title.
The most recent included England’s Paul Casey leading the AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am by three strokes and American Justin Thomas, who last week led Genesis Open by four strokes through ...
Fowler Declares New ‘Drop’ Rule Terrible Change Declaring ‘It’s Not Doing Any Favours’ To Golf
Leading members of the European Tour media are due to meet on Tuesday in St. Andrews with Martin Slumbers, CEO of the R and A.
One of the items now sure to be on the agenda is Rickie Fowler’s protest over a new Rules drop that saw him slapped with a one-stroke penalty on day two of the WGC – Mexico Championship.
Fowler’s mistake was to take a wrong drop after he shanked his second shot from the 10th tee.
Instead of adopting the new drop from ‘knee height’, Fowler, and ...
DJ Seeks To Be First To Claim A Pair Of Mexican Victory Take-Outs
Dustin Johnson remains favourite to not only become the first player to win twice this new season but also become the first to walk off with a second WGC – Mexico Championship victory takeout in three years.
‘DJ’ stayed in a class of his own posting a Mexico City third round 66 for a commanding four-stroke lead at 16-under par.
Johnson’s round included a second hole eagle, a fifth hole birdie and while he momentarily opened the door on his rivals with a 10th hole double, he birdied four ...
Harrington Returns This Week To Competition From Injury At The Bear Trap.
Padraig Harrington will return to competition at the very familiar winning location of this week’s Honda Classic at PGA National and home of the famed ‘Bear Trap’ in Florida.
Harrington, and much like fellow Irishman Graeme McDowell, has been side-lined since injuring his wrist during the off-season.
The three-time Major winner initially thought he had sprained his wrist after an innocent fall while walking down stairs at his residence in December.
At the time Harrington announced: ...
G Mac Teeing-Up In Puerto Rico With Injured Wrist 95% Fit.
It is funny how golfing fortunes unfold.
Here is the sight of neighbours and Ryder Cup team-mates Graeme McDowell and Henrik Stenson checking-in at Orlando International Airport.
Instead McDowell was heading to Puerto Rico and Stenson to Mexico City.
Having lost his PGA Tour card at the end of last season McDowell has somewhat been forced in teeing-up in this week’s $3m Puerto Rico Open while Stenson, and enjoying the benefits of a 10-year exemption in capturing the 2016 Open, was bound for ...
Knox Confirms He Will Defend DDF Irish Open At Lahinch.
This year’s Dubai Duty Irish Open has been handed more good news with Scotland’s Russell Knox confirming he will return to defend his title at Lahinch.
The news comes after former European No. 1 Tommy Fleetwood and leading Irish golfer Shane Lowry confirmed late last month they will tee-up on the Irish south-west links gem.
Knox captured a first victory on European soil last July in brilliantly holing back-to-back curling 40-foot birdie bombs, first at the closing hole in regulation and then ...
McIlroy’s First PAC Board Meeting See Shorts Approved During Practice & Pro-Am Rounds.
Rory McIlroy’s first appearance as a member of the 16-person PGA Tour’s Players Advisory Council (PAC) has seen the unanimous vote to finally allow players to wear shorts during practice and pro-am rounds.
It has taken two-years to catch-up after a similar decision made in January, 2016 by the European Tour equivalent body representing the interest of all the players, so now we have common sense finally prevailing on the PGA Tour and given the PGA Tour hosts tournaments at some real ...
