Atlanta, GA ….. Rory McIlroy readily picked-up a hefty Ryder Cup six-player Atlanta dinner check but with his five European Ryder Cup dinner pals laughing in urging he should send the bill to Team Captain, Thomas Bjorn for reimbursement. Of course, McIlroy was instrumental in leading a wind-up of Bjorn during last fortnight’s BMW Championship and with Bjorn ‘tounge-in-cheek’ suggesting he would punish McIlroy by only allowing him to contest the Sunday Singles in next week’s ...

Atlanta, GA … Rory McIlroy raced to an early two-shot lead and promises of a second straight very low opening score only to end his round trialing two shots from the lead with a 67 in heatwave conditions on day one of the Tour Championship in Atlanta. Ryder Cup rivals Tiger Woods, who holed a 30-foot eagle putt at the last, and Rickie Fowler share the lead with five-under par 66s.

DeChambeau, 25 and the winner of the opening two Play-Off Series events, ...

Atlanta, GA … Tiger Woods delivered easily the loudest roar in ending his round with an eagle ‘3’ to share the lead on day one of the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. Woods found the green with his second shot into the par-5 18th and then brilliantly holed the near 30-foot putt in a round of a five-under par 65 to tie fellow American Rickie Fowler in heatwave conditions on the East Lake course. Woods is now projected to jump 18 places and into second place on the FedEx Cup standings. It ...

Atlanta, GA … The maths for FedEx Cup victory maths for Bryson DeChambeau is simple. If the recently-turned 25-year old wins the season-ending Tour Championship and he becomes FedEx Cup champion. The PGA Tour has worked out a winning scenario for all 30 players teeing up on the East Lake course in suburban Atlanta but realistically just six – DeChambeau, Justin Rose, who is lying in second place, Tony Finau (third), Dustin Johnson (fourth), Justin Thomas (fifth) and Keegan Bradley (sixth) ...
