Tiger Woods hailed the success of the inaugural Celebrity Cup that took place Monday afternoon over nine-holes of the Riviera Country Club course and venue for Thursday’s starting Genesis Open. Woods and long-time good friend, Fred Couples acted as non-playing captains of a five-person team of celebrities. Among the stars was Hollywood superstar, Mark Wahberg, fellow actor Chris Pratt, NFL greats Reggie Bush, Jerry Rice and Larry Fitzgerald who each played on Woods team, along with TV game ...

Pebble Beach, California … It took four days and 25 minutes of a fifth day for an apologetic Phil Mickelson to win his 50th career title in capturing the weather-affected AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Mickelson and England’s Paul Casey were back to the Pebble Beach at 8am Monday morning local time after the Sunday 16th hole ‘stand-off’ between the duo 14 hours earlier. ‘Lefty’ was adamant he could see in the closing darkness and wanted to go on, and clearly being unsportsmanlike ...

Nick Faldo has sternly defended fellow Englishman’s Paul Casey’s decision, and much to the then clear displeasure of Phil Mickelson, to mark his ball on the 16th green ahead of poor light halting play in the final round of the AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Casey was staring at a 3-foot par putt on the third last hole and having forfeited his three-shot day three lead to be now trailing by a similar number of shots adrift of Mickelson. Mickelson two-putted the 16th to retain the lead ...

In contrast to the joy of David Law sensationally capturing a first Tour win, there was sheer agony for fellow Scot David Drysdale despite sharing fifth place in the Vic Open in Australia. Drysdale had been tied in third place when he birdied his last hole in a bogey-free round of 67 and the then assurance of heading to his first World Golf Championship next fortnight. The Borders star was bumped back into a share of fourth when South African Justin Harding also birdied 18 to move to fourth and then ...

Scotland’s David Law now finds himself in very illustrious company after his brilliant success in the ISPS Handa Vic Open. Law, 27 came from three shots behind with three holes to play to birdie the 16th and then sensationally eagle the last in a closing 66 and win by one shot with an 18-under par victory tally at the 13th Beach course to the south-east of Melbourne. The Victoria Open was first staged in 1957 and Law joins the following Major Champions, including five Open winners, as having ...

What a brilliant way to win your maiden European Tour victory by eagling the 72nd hole. That’s what rookie Scot David Law did in holing a 10-foot putt for an eagle ‘3’ to capture the co-sanctioned ISPS Handa Vic Open at the 13th Beach course to the south-east of Melbourne. And after having to also call a penalty on himself when his ball moved on the ninth hole and take bogey, Law captured his first Tour victory in just his fifth event as a full member of the Tour while the young ...

If former Irish Open winner Paul Casey should capture the AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am he has Graeme McDowell, in part, to thank for a third PGA Tour triumph. Casey and McDowell were playing partners for the opening three rounds and with Casey to take a three-shot lead at 15-under par into the last day on the famed Pebble Beach course. The 41-year old Casey, who captured the 2013 Irish Open at Carton House, had shot a 64 on day two at the Monterey Peninsula course and with the Englishman and his ...
