Atlanta, GA …. It is a promoter’s final round dream two-ball with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy out in the final round of the biggest, richest golf tournament on the PGA calendar.

Atlanta, GA … Four-time Major winning Rory McIlroy could not have been more pleased for long-time good friend Oliver Fisher in becoming the first player in the history of the European Tour to finally break the sub-60 barrier by shooting a 59 on day two of the Portugal Masters at Villamoura.
